So who's more pumped to be taking PKs now? Gotta go with Uruguay.

The ecstasy followed by excruciating agony for Ghana.

The Netherlands must be loving this. Extra time and penalties... If Uruguay advances, Suarez is out and the team is tired. If Ghana advances, they've played back-to-back extra time games.

Fuck Suarez, celebrating like that in the tunnel. I sincerely hope Ghana wins this shootout. Uruguay doesn't deserve to win after cheating like that to stay alive.

Are you kidding me? He's not supposed to celebrate that his team is still alive?

He had a split second, no time to jump and get the head on it. He did the only thing he could to give his team a chance. If he doesn't get in the way of the ball at all costs, Uruguay is going home right now.

Seriously, the decision to use his hand was a smart one. He wasn't stopping that with his head and if he doesn't stop it, the team is done. That was awesome.

Yep. And, the price he will have to pay if Uruguay advances is entirely fair.

Giving up a PK for the last action of a match isn't really cheating. He got red carded. Ghana fucked up. Can't be mad at Suarez for Gyan blasting that.

Agreed. People are losing their minds in here right now. I would be dancing if I stopped that shot with my hand and watched the PK sail over the bar.

And completely worth it if he helped his country advance.

It would be nice if the PK was moved back a bit. Maybe a couple yards. Whatever would make it about a 50/50 proposition. Seems like this really is so much luck.

As I say that, big save....and then a total choke job. Wow
