Luis Suárez and Uruguay are set to face Ghana once again in what is a rematch of their famous clash in 2010, when our former striker handled the ball down the line and helped eliminate the last African nation from the first Cup tournament. of the Continental World.
Speaking to the media ahead of the final group game of this year’s competition, the 35-year-old didn’t seem too apologetic: “I didn’t apologize because I made the handball but the Ghanaian player missed the penalty. , not me.
“Maybe I would apologize if I tackled and injured a player, but in this situation I got the red card, the referee gave a penalty and it’s not my fault because I didn’t miss the penalty.
“The player who missed it said he would do the same. It is not my responsibility to take the penalty”.

In fairness to the former Barcelona player, it’s not his fault that Asamoah Gyan missed a penalty and then his team lost the shootout.
There will be a lot of attention on the striker during the game, but he just did what he felt he had to do for his team to win the game – it worked and now, 12 years later, the events are back in the news.
Let’s hope that Darwin Núñez can be the man to steal the inches off his spine, after he puts in a good display in Qatar.
