Re: World Cup Group D - Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy
I cannot see a ban of that length from all forms of the game. Something like that would be unprecedented. I think that a one year ban from international football is more likely. I suspect that something that impacts on playing for his club may well be open to legal challenge.
I think FIFA may surprise this all and get this right. The eyes of the world are on them not to **** this up as it happened at the most watched sporting event on Earth rather than some Dutch league game. This incident is an ugly stain on an otherwise fantastic tournament so far so they really need to hammer Suarez with Thor's Mjölnir as quickly as possible. 6-12 month ban from all forms of the game should do just nicely. He clearly hasn't got the message after a 6 game ban and a 10 game ban.
As for the Uruguayans and scousers defending him, they're really not helping the situation at all as all they are doing is reinforcing the belief that every piece of bad sportsmanship he performs is acceptable. Molly coddling him is not the answer, he's a serial offender and he needs to go away for a long time. I mean Cantona got 8 months, but Suarez has done this three times now.
