It is no different from a guy covering a puck in the crease (or even better a guy hauling someone down on a breakaway in hockey), a deliberate foul in basketball, or a deliberate pass interference penalty. There is an established penalty for those things and you agree to take it when you cheat (and in his case it is ejection plus penalty kick which is a huge sanction appropriate to the opportunity denied). I do not accept that he should just let the goal in as I wouldn't accept it in these other circumstances. The only penalties I view as worthy of opprobrium are those that are unsafe or carry greater injury potential.

yeah kosh stop being a suar loser

actually, Im not even sure cunt is the right word. Like, he's a psychopath and not in the way that that word gets thrown around, he's a straight up crazy.

soccer needs a goaltending rule like in basketball. it's utterly fucking stupid that uruguay could have a net positive gain from suarez cheating. i'm trying to think of some other sports analogies to what he did:

an american football player running down the sideline for the winning touchdown with no one else ahead of him, so he's going to score, but then someone on the sideline runs onto the field and tackles him. oops, no touchdown! though i think there's a rule where that's actually rewarded with 6 points anyways. let's assume there isn't. according to pete's logic, would that guy be making the right play and just doing what it takes to win? or if basketball had goaltending, except instead of getting the points you just inbound the ball and the goaltender gets a foul or something. then like dwight howard sticks his hand up through the net to punch out a game winning 3-pointer at the buzzer. no basket, and there's no time to inbounds for another shot so you lose even though the ball was literally passing through the rim. but that was the right play?

In hockey, when the goalie is pulled, a hauled down player on a breakaway is just given the goal that he clearly would score. A breakaway without the goalie pulled is nowhere near a sure goal, which Suarez prevented.

a horsecollar can get you ejected.

I hate being at work during the games. Updating the gamecast every few minutes is nerve wracking.

Then use my hauling down a guy about to scored with an illegal play in football (horsecollar being the most common).

Crazy, passionate and mesmerising.
For me Suarez is the most entertaining player in the game by far.

I have huge respect for responsible role model type players like beckham, but I can't help but love the barrel of crazy that is Suarez.
