Ghana should have won; the red card that put uruguay into the semi finals




The hand ball that saved uruguay can be seen here:

While Ghana failed to put in enough goals in penalty kicks, they should have won considering the volley ball style save by Suarez of Uruguay that stopped the ball from going into the net. This would have been a goal and Ghana would have won. Does this seem fair? That Suarez saved his countries fate by doing something illegal and knocked Ghana out. I think a red card is not enough here, I think there should be a conselation goal awarded to Ghana for their efforts and to penalize the other team. A hand ball like that should never be seen in soccer.
