I Will Not Apologize to Ghana for Handball In 2010, 'It's Not My Fault' - Luis Suarez Ahead of | Soccer/Soccer

Uruguay forward Luis Suarez says he will not apologise for the deliberate handball that knocked Ghana out of the 2010 World Cup - as the two countries prepare to reunite on Friday.
In what was one of the most controversial moments in World Cup history, Suarez denied Ghana a late winner in the World Cup quarter-final 12 years ago by deliberately handling Dominic Adiyah's shot on the goal line.
Suarez was shown a straight red card for conceding a penalty and then wildly celebrated off the pitch as Asamoah Gyan crashed his spot kick off the bar. Uruguay went on to beat Ghana on penalties to deny the Black Stars the chance of becoming the first African side to reach the last four of the World Cup.
Twelve years later, Uruguay and Ghana meet in the group stages on Friday and the winner will knock the other out of the tournament.
Suarez took part in a pre-match press conference on Thursday where one journalist told the striker that sections of the Ghanaian public describe him as "the devil himself" and they look forward to his retirement.
"I did the handball, but the Ghana player missed the penalty, not me," replied the striker.
