    Suarez prevented a goal which without a shadow of doubt cost Ghana a place in the World Cup final.

    Ah yes, beating Holland was a certainty ;)

    Both of them broke the rules and both of them did the right thing for themselves, their team mates and their country.

    Absolutely hilarious.

    They both did the exact same thing. Both were instinctive actions. It's just hilarious that because Henry did it against Ireland people make them different :rolleyes:

    It's up to the ref to see these things.

    Dishonest players don't bother me. I don't like it but I'm not surprised that people do things and try to get away with it. It happens in all facets of life. The vilification of Henry really pissed me off. As if no Irish person ever would have done the same thing in the same situation.

    Anyway, I don't have a problem with players who cheat and then try to get away with it. It's up to the authorities to catch them and try and clamp down on the behaviour and, hopefully, encourage more honest behaviour.

    If people can get away with something, they'll always chance their arm, in every facet of life.

    Exactly, surely i'm not the only person who remembers Robbie Keane handling the ball on 3 different occasions during that french game.

    True but in the eyes of most Irish people, the French are a nation of cheaters
