    Seeing Uruguay take their elimination badly got me thinking of Ghana's elimination in 2010.

    What's the biggest world cup injustice you can think of?

    For me, Diana Ross should have been allowed to retake her penalty as the keeper was a mile off his line.

    "Hand of God" but a close 2nd was Thiery Henri's handball in the qualifying game against Ireland.

    Lampards non given goal another. v Germany 2010.
    Could have changed the course of the game. Would have made it 2-2.

    I disagree. The group stage was a slow burn. We were caught on our feet by the Germans. However, we clicked for twenty minutes in that game up until half-time. Then had stuffing knocked out of us with that decision. We'd have won the tournament. Never had chance to flex our muscles.

    Goals change games. Germany had been the better side for most of the first half but the fact is that both teams had scored twice, and the psychological advantage would have been well and truly with England going into the break. As it was, we were emotionally wrecked by that decision, and understandably there was no coming back against a side of Germany's quality.

    The Ghana incident was a travesty, but if I remember correctly the officials did everything correctly, Ghana just failed to score the resulting penalty.

    Got to play well for than 20 minutes though, and signs of a good team are when they respond to adversity. We were so poor in group that I doubt we would won cup !.....obviously I would have been delighted if you were to have been proved right pal

    HATE is a word of 4 letters a small word, but the Hand of God moment made me hate Maradona for years. The word hate didn't seem large enough to convey my utter rage I felt towards the Shytehawk
    Having seen the footage of the cheating little ******* time and time again, I now think Peter Shilton was more at fault, he simply didn't leave the ground, already towering over the Argentinian dwarf, he just stuck his arm in the air hoping the ball would bounce off his fist, but the South American imp duped the footballing world in a split second of shithousery, just one small leap and the cocaine addled, mop headed, llama lover would have to have settled for just the one wonder goal.
    Bitter? Me?

    Correct. There was no injustice. Ghana got a penalty & missed it. Suarez was sent off so Uruguay were without their best striker for the pens.

    Ghana just blew it.

    While I was outraged by Maradona, I always blamed Shilton; with his height advantage and the ability to legitimately use his hands he should have at least punched the ball (and maybe Maradona into the bargain) to the halfway line.

    As Lineker just said on Best World Cup Goals....
    not only should the "hand of god" goal never have been given, neither should his mazey second goal due to Hoddle being scythed down just before Maradona began his run. So it would have been 1-0 to England, scored by Lineker. Then we go on to win the WC.
    VAR would have disallowed them both......maybe.
    And the referee who allowed both goals? American.
    So come on Holland!

    I've no issue with the officiating, but Ghana win the game if Suarez doesn't handle the ball. He stopped a definite goal. Asamoah Gyan doesn't even need to take a penalty if Suarez doesn't handle it.
