No more Suarez

Luis Suarez once changed the history of football and no other player can do that from now on. One of the important rule change is referring to intentionally stopping the ball with its hand in front of an open goal. We all remember how the Uruguayan saved his team when deliberately stopped the ball with his hand before an empty goal in his own penalty area in the quarter final game against Ghana at the 2010 World Cup. Luis Suarez was sent off and the unfortunate Asamoah Gyan rocked the crossbar from the penalty spot in the dying seconds of the game. From now on - no penalty will be awarded, the goal will stand and the offender will be red carded (something similar in basketball but without the card).
At least with this new rule a justice will be done for all the teams which we cannot say for Ghana (Gyan).
