Reporting from Cape Town and Johannesburg, South — —

The most heated debate taking place at the World Cup on Saturday involved the punishment handed out to Uruguayan forward Luis Suarez for deliberately handling the ball in the South American team’s quarterfinal game against Ghana.

In the dying moments of the match, Suarez blocked a shot on the goal line with his hand. He was red-carded by Portuguese referee Olegario Benquerenca, but FIFA said Saturday that it would wait for official reports before deciding the length of Suarez’s suspension.
