Suarez has come under international persecution after he denied Ghana an historic victory after he used his hand to prevent a goal-bound header from AC Milan youngster Dominic Adiyiah in South Africa in the dying embers of their quarter-final clash at the Soccer City Stadium.
However, the NAC Breda forward who saw very little action in South Africa told a Dutch newspaper after arriving in Holland that he would have done same to push Ghana through to the semis had he be in Suarez’s shoes.
"A lot of people have asked me whether I'm angry with Suarez, but I'm not. I perfectly understand what he did and I would probably have done the same," told Dutch newspaper BN/De Stem.
"We can only blame ourselves for not converting the spot kick [Asamoah Gyan missed after Suarez had been sent off]. That's the reason why we didn't make it to the semi-finals."
The NAC Breda hitman also told the newspaper that he is more than satisfied with the general performance of the team and the reception given to the Black Stars.
"I'm very proud with what we achieved in South Africa. We've made a lot of people very happy by reaching the quarter-finals. We were received like heroes when we returned to Ghana. That was an amazing experience."
Amoah was an unused substitute in most of Ghana’s matches at the mundial.
