Despite the insane talent held on the continent, Africa has not had much luck in the World Cup since the Tournament began.
The furthest an African team has ever gone is the quarter final stage. A feat repeated three separate times by three separate nations.
Today, we're going to talk about the last African team to do so, how they were denied by "The Real hand of God" and why Luis Suárez is probably not planning on heading back to Africa any time soon.

    any player unwilling to get sent off this way defending the goal at the death of the game, doesn't deserve to step on the field. suarez did the right thing. he saved his team. the penalty miss was hard to watch though, i'll admit. i was rooting for ghana in this match. but suarez did the right thing for his team. he was immediately sent off, as he deserved. and the penalty was given. at the time, i was more upset about the missed penalty than the handball.

    For me, what's the difference between what Suarez did and what pretty much every professional footballer does when fouling players on purpose? Nothing. Players cheat all of the time, leave a foot in, grab or tug on a shirt, push a defender from behind to get an open header, play acting (like what won the free kick leading up to the handball). Gyan just blew it in the moment, Ghana blew it in PKs.

    As an Irishman I know this ironic when I say this given our incident with Henry, but I'm not gonna lie, if I was in Suarez position, that late into the game I'd probably do the same, it's one of those heat of the moment things that you do without thinking because you want to win. Now I did feel really really bad and sympathise with Ghana that world cup after Ireland was dumped out in that infamous game against France, but yeah, I understand why he did it, have i forgiven henry and should Ghana forgive Suarez, hell no but I understand the reasoning, it's just the need to win that you're willing to sacrifice yourself to help your nation and fortunately it worked out for Henry, you win some you lose some, that's just football and it's why we love it and keep crawling back 😂

    I always thought about this idea in football. Like take a scenario where you(non goal keeper) are at the goal post and a ball is coming at the post at the last minutes,that it's how 100 percent sure that it is going to go in despite the stuff you can do with the potential of your legs. Then why not use hands? I know that it is wrong,but to win you got to take some risky moves This way there be a lesser chances of goals scored since it goes into a penalty. Where you once again have a chance to defend the score. Sounds unlawful but is a brilliant move

    Suarez is a legend, you can criticize him and hate him all you want, but he did the best thing there was left to do to achieve his goal. 120th minute, ball about to go in, you're out, you lose nothing by stopping it from handball, you get red carded sure, but you give your team another chance that they wouldn't have had. Sure enough Ghana miss the penalty and Uruguay advance to the next round, Suarez made that happen. Same thing with Liverpool and the biting incident, Suarez wanted to go to Barca and Liverpool were not going to sell him, so he forced them to sell him by biting another player and getting suspended for 6 month, like it or not, he did what he had to do to achieve his goal lmao, and then goes on to be part of the greatest attacking trio with Messi and Neymar wrecking absolute havok.

    Great video from Football Iconic, keep up the work man. About the story I understand both sides opinions. For Uruguay it was a show of passion for the national team and Suarez was a leader of the team at that World Cup. But I would’ve liked if you got more in-depth why Ghanaian and African people reacted like this against Suarez. (Before he went back to South Africa of course😂) The past issues he had against black players were not in his favor and all the outrageous comments he made about Ghanaian people after the game and World Cup was also not helping his case. People need to understand that on that day even though Ghana lost on their mistake of missing the penalty which I acknowledge totally. You need to know that on that day the entire African continent was behind Ghana national team not only for representation as the last African team to make it this far in the competition but also because they represented the entire African continent. That day Africans regardless of country, religion, skin color were behind Ghana for winning that game, as they were showing to the World that Africa wasn’t just a continent of poor people who cannot afford and/or eat proper meals. NO!! They showed that they were hard workers, they wanted to get out of that environment of poverty. For a cultural explanation what those players experienced was more then football after that game, they lost more then a game, it was a dishonor. In African culture when you succeed in whatever job you have to take care of your family the entirety of it. And it has an even bigger affect when you become a professional athlete. When you play your sport you do not only represent yourself, you represent your family, your country, the entire African continent which is a big amount of responsibility. (Without going into politics of course.) This is why Ghanaian and Africans felt like they were robbed that day. I hope that I answered some people questions in the commentary section. All of you have a blessed day🙏🏾.

    best moment of the 2010 world cup definitely is the opening goal of the tournament. the way Bafana played, the buildup to the tournament itself with doubts that the stadiums would be completed in time, the whole country coming together to create quite the atmosphere for the visiting countries. That goal by Tshabalala literally propelled the nation into orbit!!!! lets not forget the commentator and the group celebration!!!

    Unpopular Opinion here but I support Suarez's decision to use his hands in the situation. Let's say he doesn't: Ghana Scores in the 119th minute, Uruguay goes 2-1 down and almost definitely gets eliminated. But instead, he uses his hands to block the ball, accepts the Red Card and chooses to take a chance on the Ghana penalty taker missing or his keeper saving it and then hoping his team then goes on to win in a shootout. Then he would have to miss the Semi-Final but could then play in the Final. So, when you look at it from his perspective it was probably the best decision.

Blatant cheating from FIFA trying to push an African team to semi finals for the 1st time at a tournament hosted by African nation. The referees heavily influenced this game in Ghana's favour. Uruguay come to spoil the party always, that's why FIFA hates Uruguay. Example, 1950 world cup in Brazil against the hosts, several times against Argentina in Argentina in Copa Americas, Ghana knockout in 2010 world cup.

Only 7% of penalties don’t go in because of missing or hitting the crossbar. All blame should be on players for not winning beyond this penalty kick and the penalty kick taker

    I don't think Suarez did anything wrong. The rules aren't that you can't stop a goal with your hands if you're not the goalkeeper - it's that if you do so, you'll get sent off. He did so, and was sent off. He had the presence of mind that none of his other teammates had - to use his hands in a last-ditch effort to keep it out. If he had done a violent tackle or something, I'd be pissed, but for this, I think if anything it's commendable. Again, how many players would have the same presence of mind?

Like Chiellini in the 2021 Euro's final: he grab Saka's tshirt and got a yellow card. Suárez grab the ball with his hands, stopping a clear goal chance, he got a red card and the other team got a penalty. Ghana didn't have balls and that's the end of the story.

Also, he was punished according to the rules. All Ghana had to do was score that penalty, but they failed, so it's really on them after all. And without Suarez Uruguay did not make it to the final, so it's not like Maradona's "hand of God" that actually got them a World Cup title.
