On 2 July 2010, late in extra time in a Men's World Cup quarterfinal, with the score 1-1, Uruguay's Luis Suárez blocked a shot by Ghana's Dominic Adiyiah with his hand. Suárez got a red card, Ghana got a penalty kick—but Ghana's Asamoah Gyan missed the penalty, and Uruguay won the subsequent penalty shootout. With his intentional hands, Suárez manipulated football rules to his advantage. As Cory Doctorow put it recently, "the optimal level of fraud is never zero, because a system that has been simplified to the point where no fraud can take place within it is a system that is so trivial and brittle as to be useless."
