Do they red card kids? If not, why not hand ball anything the goalie can't get? The odds of hitting a penalty kick at that age is not close to a sure thing. - Jeff

I did say even if it was deliberate, and apparently it was, it was still a smart play from Uruguay's point of view. What does it teach children? That there are consequences. Suarez received a red card. Suarez doesn't get to play today. Ghana was then given a chance to score. Only problem was, they blew it. In a "team" sport, not an individual sport like golf, tennis or frisbe, you sometimes take one for the team. You make a foul, the other team gets an opportunity to overcome it, you move on. Look at basketball! How many times do we see a guy driving the lane for an easy basket and someone deliberately fouls him to prevent a score. It's in the game! You call the foul, you send the other team to the line to allow them an opportunity to score. It's in the game, whether we like it or not.
