Otto Addo refuses to criticise for Suarez | 3News.com

Ghana and Uruguay face off in Qatar on Friday, with a place in the World Cup’s last 16 on the line

Suarez deliberately handled Dominic Adiyah’s shot on the goal line 12 years ago, denying Ghana a late winner in the quarterfinal.

Uruguay went on to defeat Ghana on penalties, denying the Black Stars the opportunity to become the first African team to reach the World Cup’s last four.

If the same incidents would have happened the other day round, Ghana would have proceeded to the semi-finals,” Addo said when asked about the 2010 match.

Portugal have already secured their place in the next round with two wins from two games, but they still need a point to be declared Group H winners.

The only remaining rival for first place are Ghana, who have three points and will confirm qualification with a win against Uruguay.
