Match: Quarter Final | World Cup Host: South Africa

If there was ever a famous red card in World Cup history, this is the one. Dying stages of the game, Ghana were on the verge of making it to the semis of the 2010 World Cup.

What they didn’t know was Uruguay virtually played the game with two goalkeepers. A header from Adiyiah was stopped on the line by Luis Suarez using his hands. Suarez was red carded and Asamoah Gyan failed to score the penalty awarded. Ghana lost the game on penalties to see themselves go out and endure more pain.

A famous Batman movie dialogue comes to my mind watching this moment,”You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain”.
