Agree 110%.




What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Poyet - Suarez No Cheat?
FORMER Uruguay international Gus Poyet has defended Luis Suarez for the goal-line handball which helped the South Americans advance to the World Cup semi-finals, saying the forward 'took one for the team'.

Have your say.

They need to change the rules to make it a goal + a yellow.


I agree, this type of abomination on the game won't change until the rule is changed. A fair goal was blocked by two hands. Goal should be automatically given, player red carded and banned for 8 weeks.
Kewell had no time to think, his arms were down. Sure goal should be automatically given, however he should be given a yellow, because even in slow motion it is hard to determine whether intentional or not. I would say it wasn't.
FIFA doesn't like change, so this will happen again and again.
