African powerhouse Ghana impressed with some strong performances at the 2010 World Cup, but their tournament came to an abrupt halt in the quarter-finals when they lost to Uruguay on penalties.Uruguay attacker Luis Suarez’s handball in the dying seconds of the game, denied Ghana a clear goal and was one of the most controversial moments of the World Cup. But the Ajax striker has had his fair share of criticism ever since.However, Ghanaian international Matthew Amoah has now stepped up to defend the attacker's actions.“A lot of people have asked me whether I'm angry with Suarez, but I'm not. I perfectly understand what he did and I would probably have done the same,” said Amoah to Dutch newspaper BN/De Stem.“We can only blame ourselves for not converting the spot-kick [Asamoah Gyan missed after Suarez had been sent off]. That's the reason why we didn't make it to the semi-finals.”Amoah also took the time to discuss Ghana's overall performance at the World Cup.“I'm very proud with what we achieved in South Africa. We've made a lot of people very happy by reaching the quarter-finals. We were received like heroes when we returned to Ghana. That was an amazing experience.”Source: Kickoff.com
