Luis Suarez

Luis Suarez is a cheat.

And not only is he a cheat, but he's an unrepentant one as well. Suarez said:

"This was the end of the World Cup [for us]. I had no choice. I have the 'Hand of God' now. I did it so that my team mates could win the penalty shoot-out. When I saw Gyan miss the penalty, it was great joy."

Is that right? Is it heck. But it's hardly out of character. Suarez also likes to cheat by diving, which was the activity he occupied himself with during the 89 minutes he was on the pitch when he wasn't handling the ball.

It's also very disappointing (though hardly surprising) to see the Uruguayan manager, Oscar Tabarez, come out and defend his player:

"Saying we cheated Ghana is too harsh a word to use. Yes, he stuck his hand out, but it's not cheating. I don't think it's fair to say that."

Not fair?! Not cheating?! Take a look at the picture and decide what's unfair and what's cheating.
