A deliberate handball has always been a red card offence As opposed to 'accidental' but is it really worthy of a two match ban? He deliberately stopped Ghana from scoring the winner so yes he does deserve a two match ban |

Well late on this one, but the usual punishment for a deliberate handball from an outfield player would be a 2 match ban and a penalty kick if the offence happened in the players penalty area. Much like the 'professional fouls' where a defender will make an illegal tackle as the last man from behind to stop the attacker from scoring, it brings the game into disrepute, but it's a gamble and one that worked out for Uruguay on that occasion. |
