URUGUAY: Soccer Coach Angry Over Handball Criticism.
BLOOMBERG/ Soccer coach Oscar Tabárez is angry over media criticisms that his team reached today's World Cup semi-final against Holland because Luis Suárez's last-minute handball denied Ghana a goal. Tabarz said: "I'm embarrassed by what is being asked by the British press. That is truly shameful. AND: "It was an instinctive act, nothing more. Suárez couldn't have foreseen that, afterwards, Ghana would miss the penalty. Don't talk to me about a lack of humility. The Uruguayan people bring out their collective personal strength when they have to. We are very proud, and we're upset by this topic. We're proud of our performances and what we've contributed to this World Cup. Uruguay went through the three previous games with hardly a yellow card, so please don't tell me we're cheats."
