Current thoughts:
Even though I was hoping for Ghana to win, and the last moments of the game were insane...I still have to say, "Good job, Uraguay."

Sure, the handball was wrong. But unfair? He was justly penalized for it, and Ghana received their free kick which they failed to cash in on. After playing keeper, I have to say that I appreciate defenders who do whatever they can to help me out when I can't get there. At the expense of a blatant, intentional handball foul though? Yep. If there was no other way to save it and sure defeat lay on the other side. It's wrong; but not unfair, if the all are justly penalized.

Besides. They had a chance to win after that...and still didn't make it :(
