Hahaha, good night sweet prince!

 

[alterno69]

He can't even attend games as a fan if i'm reading that right.

 

[Horseress]

9 matches in WC tournaments?

WC qualifying matches counts too

 

[Brashnir]

WC qualifying matches counts too

As would Copa America, Confed Cup and any other FIFA events.

I'd hope not. Would be crazy to put fans at risk like that.

 

[Xando]

Good job, now he's the only world class player with an actual summer holiday.

dont forget Ronaldo

 

[Talon]

Jesus, this isn't that difficult to comprehend.

9 International Matches
4 months from ALL football activities, including any football stadiums while games are being played

Appeal would have NO effect on his suspension for Saturday.

The decision is not yet final and binding. An appeal can be lodged by the player or the Uruguay FA. "The appeal does not have a suspensive effect except with regard to orders to pay a sum of money." So an appeal would not allow Suárez to play in the Round of 16.

thats harsh

 

[Andrefpvs]

I even think he got lucky.

Sucks for uruguay... but you cant pull that shit on a world stage, and pretend it never happened.

 

[cremino]

All International games

 

[Tugatrix]

that was what I thought

 

[pulsemyne]

He also got fined 65 grand for being naughty. Nothing for him.

 

[Talon]

Well, this was unexpected.

Fifa's ban extends to "administrative activities". They are unable to confirm or deny that this includes the signing of new contracts with potential new clubs, but it certainly seems vaguely feasible that he will be now be unable to leave Anfield this summer.

That would be a hilarious punishment in the long run.

 

[Haunted]

holy shit Ghana sent Boateng home? wtf

 

[Navy Bean]

It works out to 9 International games and 9 EPL games (if he stays).

 

[andycapps]

12 germans vs. 10 americans

That hardly seems fair. Better make it 6 americans.

I agree, 6 Americans vs 12 Germans. I like these odds.

This paves the way for Uruguay to unleash their best player onto the pitch:

Forlan and his golden head.

Thats right, Uruguay has been so confident they kept their star on the bench

[Horseress]

I think it was harsh too, but man....biting an opponent?! For his own good I hope he fucking learns, now that his disgusting attitude fucked up his country

 

[jmdajr]

Am I late on this????

This Soccer commercial turns out to be not what I expected.

Woman's reaction to England World Cup knockout

 

[Fireblend]

Holy shit. That sounds harsh, but I mean, what kind of person with the intent of hurting someone goes for a bite? He could've kicked, tackled, punched, headbutted, etc. but biting is distinctly savage, almost primitive. Really weird guy, I hope he gets the help he needs.

Sucks for Uruguay, I wanted them to win against Colombia, and hopefully they still can, but undoubtedly they have less of a chance without Suarez.

 

[Haunted]

9 match ban... too lenient, imo.

Good that the team will have to send him home, he's not allowed in the stadium as well etc. Still, should've been more given that he received a 10-game ban earlier and the importance of the match he did it in.


Well, at least we won't have to see him this world cup anymore.

If i read that right he's actually banned from World Cup games not qualifiers. His World Cup Career is over.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Almost, it was the epic Poland match as Pez said.



Ha nice. It's a legend in all of WC history, I wonder if we'll see something like that tonight.

Pardon the cliched response but that was my second guess.

On a different note glad FIFA decided to actually show some balls and ban Suarez for the rest of the World Cup and possibly Copa America. The fact he's essentially stuck in Liverpool till 2015 helps. Just a shame the ban wasn't harsher.

 

[Navy Bean]

Wonder if USA will change tactics because of sloppy pitch.

 

[elty]

I don't know, does Suarez makes the tournament more exciting by creating drama, or make it less exciting by doing stupid things to get himself ban?

 

[Xando]

looks like he is banned for world cup matches not qualifiers?

WHAT??

So if Uruguay don't qualify for the next WCs, he is not punished?

 

[Confrontation]

Pardon the cliched response but that was my second guess. .

At least you know your WC history! It was impressive enough you knew the tourney.

 

[bryanee]

It all International matches not just WC.

edit - Ok maybe not.

No, just official matches.

he's banned for the rest of the tournament, and whatever the next official matches are (qualifiers, etc.)

That particular quote is talking about if Uruguay advances.

I think it was harsh too,

Holy shit. That sounds harsh.

Qualifiers are world cup games.
What we are currently watching in Brazil are the World Cup Finals.

 

[Talon]

The official statement is pretty damn clear that it is official matches recognized by Fifa.

The player Luis Suárez is to be suspended for nine (9) official matches. The first match of this suspension is to be served in the upcoming FIFA World Cup™ fixture between Colombia and Uruguay on 28 June 2014. The remaining match suspensions shall be served in Uruguay’s next FIFA World Cup match(es), as long as the team qualifies, and/or in the representative team’s subsequent official matches in accordance with art. 38 par. 2a) of the FDC.

You're not correct. It's any official International match.

 

[JonnyBrad]

No, just official matches.

he's banned for the rest of the tournament, and whatever the next official matches are (qualifiers, etc.)

That particular quote is talking about if Uruguay advances.

Ah yes i didn't read on. Well spotted.

 

[Pezking]

He can't even attend games as a fan if i'm reading that right.

Yes:

"A stadium ban is pronounced against the player Luis Suárez in accordance with art. 21 of the FDC as follows: the player Luis Suárez is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium during the period of the ban (point 3).
The player Luis Suárez is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium in which the representative team of Uruguay is playing while he has to serve the nine-match suspension (point 2)."

No it's just 9 "Official" matches which also include international qualifiers and maybe even friendlies. If friendlies are included will be very easy for Uruguay to go through those quickly.

Anyone got Sakho's elbow gif somewhere?

No, just official matches.

you're right, but I'm not sure if Uruguay will ever call him again

Can't be worse than playing in the snow.

 

[elty]

So he is banned for this world cup and Copa America? Or does official match includes friendly?

 

[Haunted]

If i read that right he's actually banned from World Cup games not qualifiers. His World Cup Career is over.

Nope. First sentence reads that he's banned in the case of Uruguay advancing in this tournament. Next sentence confirms that it's for their subsequent official international matches (i.e. next WC qualifers, Copa America etc.).

 

[manual4]

based fifa\
Suarez will miss the rest of the World Cup and the start of the new Premier League season with Liverpool.
