Ghana has returned to the World Cup after missing out in 2018 and has been drawn with Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea in Group H for the 2022 World Cup to be played in Qatar from November to December this year.
This appears to be an interesting group for many Ghanaians. Many Ghanaians believe that the draw will provide Ghana with exact revenge on Uruguay. Luis Suarez became the villain in 2010 when he denied Ghana a qualification to the semi-finals in the dying minutes of the game by deliberately, through a handball, preventing Ghana’s Asamoah Gyan from scoring with a header.
Twelve years on, Ghanaians on Twitter are already calling for revenge against Uruguay for the sins of Suarez as the country draws again in Group H with Uruguay. According to a wild social media reaction, Ghanaians believe their game against Uruguay will provide an ideal opportunity to repay Uruguay.
