Football
could bring in 'penalty goals' - similar to rugby union's penalty try -
in a bid to stop rule-breaking like the handball committed by Luis
Suarez at the 2010 World Cup.
Suarez
handled the ball on the line in the closing moments of a quarter-final
against Ghana, and despite being sent off, he ensured his side's
progress as Asamoah Gyan blasted the penalty over, and Uruguay won in
the shoot-out.
But
now football's lawmakers are looking at a way to prevent that situation
arising again, with the Suarez incident cited as a perfect example of
when a penalty goal could be awarded.
