5 controversies in Luis Suarez's career

Deliberate handball

2010 playing for Uruguay at the Brazil World Cup

At the last World Cup in 2010, Suarez was guilty of pulling off one of the most glaring professional fouls ever at the tournament when he intentionally stopped a goal-bound header from Ghana with his hand late in extra time of their quarterfinal in South Africa, which likely would have given Ghana victory.

Suarez, who was sent off, hung around near the tunnel to watch Ghana's Asamoah Gyan miss the penalty and then celebrated frantically, enraging neutral fans. Uruguay ultimately won in a shootout to go through to the semifinals.

Suarez later boasted of his cheating: "Truth is it was worth it."
