All is set for d semi final n no African team, n never had been but just last world cup on home soil, one, Ghana was almost there but for Luiz Suarez who deliberately used his hands to prevent Ghanas Dominic Adiyahs goal on d the goal line at the last minute. Suarez was subsequently sent off. A penalty was awarded but Asamoah Gyan failed to score, n footage showed Suarez celebrating on the sidelines, n Uruguay eventually went thro on penalties! Let us look at this controversial player, Suarez that Baca wnt to sign. He is a world class player but his problems are one too many. This world cup he had bitten the shoulder of Italys defender, Giorgio Chiellini bringing his total bites to 3. His first was when he was with Ajax when he bit PSV Otman Bakkal making the Dutch newspaper call him The Cannibal of Ajax he was given 7 match ban, later sold to Liverpool. The 2nd came when wit Liverpool when he bit Chelseas defender Branislav Ivanovic in 2013 n was given 10 match ban. One unique thing abt all these bites is in each case the referee never saw it, only a video play back did. Look at this: Suarez had 3 bites first was in 2010 ; 10 minus 3 equalled to 7, Suarez was given 7 match ban. 2nd bite was in 2013 ; 13 minus 3 is 10, he was given 10 match ban. This yr the 3rd 14 minus 3 is 11, why are they talking of 9 match ban instead of 11! Hahaha. However, bitting has never been Suarez only sin football-wise, there are others, he started at the age of 16 when he headbutted a referee while he was in a youth team Nacional, a local side in Uruguay. Another was, one night his coach caught him drinking and partying, the coach said Suarez wud never play unless he showed seriousness. Lets look at the few troubles we know abt Suarez. In January, 2007 while playing for Groningen, he scored 4 goals in 5 matches, he received 3 yellow cards n one red. In Feb,2007, Suarez debut for Uruguay against Columbia, he was sent off at d last minute being shown 2nd yellow for Dissent. Nov, 2007, he joined Ajax, he was later suspended by d dutch team after half-time dressing room Altercation with team mate Albert Luque. July 2010, he prevented Ghanas goal in the world cup. Nov 2010, the bitting of PSV Otman Bakkal. Oct 2011, Liverpool vs Everton match, tackle wit Evertons Jack Rodwell, Suarez went down wit apparent minimal contact. Rodwell was sent off. Know also that Suarez has a record of being the most diving player. Oct 2011, he was alleged to hv racially abused Man Us Patrice Evra, Suarez was given an 8 match ban n £40,000 fine. Dec 2011, he was seen making an offensive gesture towards Fulham fans. He was then still on racism charge against Evra, he was added one additional match ban for the gesture. Feb 2012 Man U vs Liverpool match again at old trafford more controversy blew up as Suarez refused to shake Evras hand before kick-off. Oct 2012, Suarez celebrated a goal against Everton by diving in front of then Evertons coach David Moyes, bcos Moyes had earlier claimed that divers such as Suarez were putting fans off the English game. Jan 2013, he handled d ball prior to scoring Liverpools winner in d FA cup 3rd round tie at Mansfield. April 2013, the bitting of Ivanovic. And this yr 2014 yet anoda bitting of Italian defender. Hmmmmmm Suarez, i wish u the best at Baca. And Baca get ready to solved problems. Like New York Times put it: The most ruthless soccer players often use their hands or elbows or knees to rough up opposing players. The most reckless or dirtiest might even use their cleats. But Suarez, the Uruguayan striker, who has emerged as one of the best players in the world is a Bitter , and it seems a serial one. Let me end Suarezs story with words from Evander Hollyfiled, the man whose ear was bitten n chopped off by Mike Tyson, he sent this via twitter following Suarez recent bite Every part of the body is up for eating So as we mourn Africans exit from the world cup n African country never reaching the Semi final, let us not forget that on home ground South Africa 2010, one African country shd hv been there but for Suarez! Happy Sunday.
