Fans all say the same thing with Luis Suarez’s Uruguay set for group decider with rivals in replay of World Cup epic

FOOTBALL fans are salivating at the prospect of the potential second round of Luis Suarez versus Ghana in the World Cup.

The Uruguayan striker, 35, was surprisingly named on the bench for his country in tonight’s Group H defeat to Portugal.

And that has led to many believing that the former Liverpool, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid star, who did appear off the bench, was being kept fresh for the crunch final group game shoot-out against his old foes.

Ghana, who have four points from two games after the win over South Korea earlier, will be out for revenge against Uruguay, who only have one going into their now must-win last group game.

The sides faced off in the quarter final back in 2010 during the World Cup in South Africa, and a rivalry was born.

Sulley Muntari put Ghana ahead only for Uruguay to equalise through Diego Forlan to send the match to extra time.

With penalties looming as the score remained level, Ghana were putting on the pressure and came close to scoring in the final minute of the match only for Suarez to punch the ball off the line.

He was instantly sent-off as the referee awarded a penalty - but Asamoah Gyan blew his country's semi-final dream by blasting over.

If that was not bad enough, Suarez was still on the touchline watching on and burst into wild celebration as the game went to a shoot-out - which was eventually won by Uruguay.

That made him public enemy No.1 in Ghana, and now supporters cannot wait to see the next instalment.
