    Extra time

    Even though this is over, but who else is thinking, man, how would we have done in this game? You gotta think that if we could have beaten Ghana, we would have quite the shot of winning this game. Plus, I know the Dutch beat Brazil, but man, they haven't looked overly impressive. They are very beatable, so we could have had an outside shot at the final...

    We couldve won this game, although Uruguay is better than us. But I think The Dutch wouldve rolled us. They havent lost or drawn any games here in South Africa. They went 8-0-0 in their qualifying group (pretty shit group, but still) and they beat us in a friendly before the WC. They would shred our defense I think.

    Looks like PKs. Good for Uruguay, Ghana has some legs left!
  • Laley23
    HOLY CRACK BALLS!
  • Laley23
    GREATEST ENDING EVER!

    HE MISSED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • ts1227
    This is awesome
  • Laley23
    And he missed! HOLY FUCK. What a finish to Extra-Time!
  • NilesPacMan
    OH! MY! GOODNESS!

    Suarez, despite drawing a red card, saves his team by his blatant handball!
  • tk421
    Ha ha, I will laugh my ass off if Ghana end up losing. What a dumb ass, missing a PK at the end of extra time for the win.
  • tk421
    Always take the red card. As just seen, you never know when someone will blow the PK.
  • Laley23
    That was undoubtedly the most exciting ending I have ever seen in a game not involving the USA.

    holy shit that was crazy

    Definitely agreed. In a game like this at the end, it's against the rules, but it's better than just letting the ball go by you.

    Suarez ends up saving Uruguay (twice) but wont be able to take a PK, and will be out versus the Netherlands if they win. Tough blow for him. He could also face some Fifa suspension beyond the red card...

    If they win, though, he'll be hailed as a national hero. If an American player did that and USA won, I would certainty view that player as a savior...

    Tough blow for him but he just saved his team at least until the PKs. I'm sure they'd take that 10/10 times again if played over.

    Taking another PK right after missing the first. Makes it. 1 - 1.

    Exactly.

    Gyan hits his one, and it makes you wonder what could have happened if he did that a couple minutes ago...
