Uruguay president Jose Mujica has called Fifa leaders "sons of bitches" for banning Luis Suarez over his World Cup bite.

Mujica called the four-month ban on all football activity imposed on Suarez for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini "fascist sanctions".

Speaking as he welcomed the defeated Uruguayans back home after their 2-0 defeat against Colombia, Mujica said: "Those at Fifa are a gang of old sons of bitches."

The president then gasped and mocked an expression of shock before smiling.
When asked if his remark could be published, Mujica replied: "For my part, sure."

He added: "They could have sanctioned him, but not with fascist sanctions."
Mujica had also welcomed Suarez at Montevideo airport when he arrived individually ahead of the team on Friday, before proclaiming the punishment "an eternal shame" in the history of the World Cup in his weekly radio address.

Huge story has just broken via Sport (Catalan newspaper) claiming Yaya has asked City to sell him and listen to any offers from major clubs.

I'm all for it. Great player (one of the best in the world, frankly) but the shit he's slinging means he should go. At least we'll save a fuckton on his loyalty bonus.

Nice! I picked up Foreign Correspondent on CC's website sale. Need to finish up getting the Hitchcocks I don't own.
There are so many Hitchcock films released on bluray recently that I don't have the money or space for all of them so I'm just trying to get the essentials. Oddly enough my favourites of his are films like Rebecca, Strangers on a Train, and The 39 Steps.

Don't think I'll be splurging anymore on the sale. Might get that awesome Rossellini and Bergman set before it ends.

Do it Arsene. Make up for letting him go 15 years ago or whenever it was.

I bought this set in a blind buy without having seen any of them, and I hated ALL OF THEM.

Arsenal has submitted a bid for Alexis Sánchez, Barcelona are open to negotiations but are yet to respond.

This guy actually has Barca connections. If we announce Debuchy, Sanchez and Schneiderlin signings at once, I'd melt.
 
In all seriousness, Barca would be stupid to sell Sanchez before trying to find a middle ground with us

(Unless Sanchez just doesn't want to join us, which is a possibility)

I'm hating that we're included with the clubs being linked with Pogba. I'm not prepared for that level of muppetry.

Saw something last night that said you guys were prepping a £60m bid or something along those lines. Complete fabrication, undoubtedly.

Meier I apologise if my post offended you. I was merely expressing my opinion on the matter and was posting from a purely footballing perspective rather than a heritage or personal level.

My opinion stays the same but I will drop the topic now.

He's not moving. Not this summer. We'll see come January if things change. He's still so young.


Does Pogba count as HG? City could be in for him if they shift Toure.

Yes, he would be HG which undoubtedly strengthens his transfer fee.

Water under the bridge. We agree to disagree. Let's hug it out.

Imagine how good the World Cup would be if the African and Norh American countries really stepped up their game. CONCACAF seem promising, and will hopefully get even better as the MLS grows, but African football seems like it's been at a standstill for ages.

Does Africa even have any decent leagues? It seems like all the best players end up in Europe at a very young age.
