2010 FIFA World Cup: On 2 July 2010, during the quarter final match against Ghana, Suárez intentionally handled the ball on the line in the last minute of extra-time and denied Ghana a goal that would have won them the game.He was subsequently given a direct red card and sent off the field. The resulting penalty was however missed by Asamoah Gyan and Uruguay went on to win 4–2 in the shootout and progress to the semi-final. His subsequent boasting about manipulating the rules of the game to keep Ghana out of a semi-final appearance has made him seem to be an international villain to some partisans. He was quoted saying “I think I made the best save of the tournament” and was seen cheering when Gyan’s penalty hit the crossbar.Due to this, he was audibly booed by members of the crowd each time he touched the ball in his next appearance, the 3rd place game of the World Cup 2010 against Germany. However, some football commentators point out that because Suarez intentionally committed an illegal act to deny the opposing team an obvious goal, he compromised the sporting integrity of the match itself, thereby cheating the game of football.Others have explained the booing as mainly a reaction to the elevation to hero status of Suarez by Uruguay’s fans.
