There is no denying that Luis Suarez’s handball caused outrage in South Africa, not just with the Ghanains, who felt the full injustice of the situation by missing the resultant penalty and going out in a penalty shootout to Suarez’s country Uruguay, but throughout most of Africa and in some cases even the world, who were egging Ghana on as the last African nation left in the tournament.
