I am not sure how many stayed up to watch the WC match between Ghana and Uruguay. And how many managed to stay throughout the game and witness the last minute of ET drama. In short, this Luis Saurez instinctively stopped the ball from crossing the line with his hands. He was red carded. But Ghana missed the resulting penalty and the match went into penalty shootout. Uruguay won.

I personally think that Saurez is a hero. He kept a national's dream alive. But others labelled him as a cheat. I wonder how many Singaporeans will actually perform a self sacrificing act.
- will you just let the ball go in . (play by the rules/law abiding).
- do not have the instinct to use your hands to stop the ball (dunno how to cheat/law abiding)
- don't want to miss the semi final so won't use hand (self-fish/no brain)
- don't want to create controversy or be called a cheat (play safe/avert risk)
Anyway, he is the new Hand of God. The last time the hand of God appears, the team won the World Cup.
