Tabarez: We have no reason to feel ashamed

URUGUAY coach Oscar Tabarez says his side will feel no embarrassment when they line up against Holland in the World Cup semi-final at the Green Point stadium tonight.

Tabarez maintains that Luis Suarez did not cheat when he handled the ball on the line to deprive Ghana a quarter-final winner in the last seconds of extra time, the Ajax striker then celebrating on the touchline when Asamoah Gyan missed the resulting penalty.

“We are very proud and we’re upset with this topic. We’re proud of our performances and what we’ve contributed to the development of football at this World Cup.
