Football is a sport with no fair play, no honor and no sportsmanship. It's a game where it is only about to win, not how you win.

Watching the players celebrate after this "win" really gave a bad taste. I would have been ashamed, but it demonstrates fine the mentality amongst football players.

Applauding cheat just shows the personality of some people here as well but I am not surprised. It is GFY after all.
What the hell are you talking about? Soccer is the epitome of sportsmanship and fair play, it's just a lot of teams have developed their "bullshit" over the years. It certainly beats any other sport out there.

And why would you have been ashamed? The definition of sportsmanship is doing all you can to win, within the scope of the rules. Suarez sacrificed himself so his team could have a chance to move on and he paid the price for it, which was a suspension. I would have done the exact same thing. This isn't the "hand of God" that Maradona pulled. Suarez did it blatantly and knew he was going to be sent off. Blame Ghana for choking.
