Are you serious with this reply?
1. Does someone ALWAYS put their hand flat as they head backwards towards the floor? How much physical contact sport have you played. I played football and rugby union for quite a number of years, and your 'flat hand' expostulation is total rubbish!
2. How does having his arm by his side make his body bigger in the split second of falling backwards? Seriously.

You are being totally silly now. No further point. I do wonder at your actual knowledge of football, physical grass sports, and your understanding of the basic rules of the game. For me, you fail on all three points...

It was behind him, like having an extra leg.

many many thanks.

What's that got to do with the view of the incident yesterday?

You really are posting stupid stuff now - the refuge of the defeated...

your view dear.

He was falling backwards. The ball was behind him. He didn't have a clue where the ball was. His arm was going downwards to break his fall.

There's where we disagree

You should be a comedian!

Well, not really. You would never make a living out of it...

 

[Old Blue 2]

There's where we disagree

So in an absolute split second, he was able to fall backwards, look behind him, see exactly where the ball was, and then accurately bring his hand down on it?

Tell me you are joking...

 

[Old Blue 2]

your view dear.

I do believe you have lost all sense of proportion and common sense now, with that reply.

No point any further. You have absolutely nothing to say, or add, to the discussion...

I'm not joking, at all. He had an idea he could be nutmegged, and made sure the ball didn't get through. He knew what he was doing

Most defenders know the call usually won't go against them, becuase they know they will get the benefit of the doubt. And if it didn't deny a clear goal scoring opportunity, it wouldn't have been called.

So, you know 100% what he was thinking now? Don't be daft!

No, only you know that :/

He's Uruguayan he would cheat in his sleep.

Reckon we're gonna see about 6 red cards for Ghana for attempted kneecapping on Suarez tonight. Can't wait.

You'll have to wait, it's on tomorrow.

Tasty game tomorrow night. Hope Asamoah Gyan parachutes in and snaps Suarez’s legs.

The Ghanaians could be falling into a trap here, obsessing over Suarez. It'll suit the Uruguayans to drag them into a brawl.
