95%? You sure? If that were accurate we'd have plenty more instances of Suarez-like goalkeeping at big tournaments or important league fixtures. We don't though. Why? Because it's fucking absurdly rare given how inappropriate it is.
Adriano, there's obviously no way of qualifying that statement of mine, whether it's modest hyperbole or not. Am I sure about a random number?
It was more of a theoretical point, and yes, I believe that if you asked players on a personal level whether or not they would intentionally handle a ball off the line in order to avoid elimination from a major tournament, the overwhelming majority - probably well above the 90th percentile - would declare strongly that yes, they would do whatever it takes to prevent defeat.
Off hand, I think you could basically extend this theory to just about any relatively comparable, professional team sport, and I agree with the posters who would want all of their teammates to do exactly what Suarez did in a similar circumstance.
Also, clearly there is a set of circumstances here (Nearing the conclusion of a tied knock out match, where a ball is struck close enough to a player that he physically can clear it off the line with his hand) that isn't consistently reproduced. Most of the time it would be retarded to intentionally handle a ball off the line, because most of the time conceding the goal is better than giving up a penalty - which should always be scored - and having a man sent off.
