On a side note, I'd like to give my congratulations to Luis Suarez anyway.

At least his actions have diverted everyone away from what was another toothless England performance.

Luis Suarez has been given a 9 match ban and banned from football activities for four months.

Does "all footballing activities" include training with Liverpool

She also mentioned a ban from "administrative activities". Does that mean he can't be transferred during that period? Or registered in Liverpool's CL squad?

So FIFA have actually gone and set a precedent of a total ban. Thought they would.

Would have prefered it to be longer but looking at it he can't even transfer due to the fact that he is banned from "administrative activities" which surely include medicals and such.

Can't see any other club wanting to buy him now so Liverpool are stuck with him. Not that that will bother them, given they have brushed every other incident of his under the carpet

I have a touch of sympathy with Liverpool. His ban should have been skewed more towards international matches, a bit less on the domestic side. Perhaps a 2 year international ban + 6 PL games.

Barcelona still want him.

Liverpool have said nothing less than £80m.

Brasil squeak through, feel sorry for Chile.

I'd love to see Chile's manager in charge of England.

Re: Football Chat Thread PART II : Sat Jun 28, 2014 7:21 pm  

Neither Brazil nor Chile particular deserved to go through. Brazil rightly get hammered because their strikers are utter pants and they are far too meh, but Brazil were much the better team throughout the match. If Chile were all they were lauded to be they would have won.

Re: Football Chat Thread PART II : Sat Jun 28, 2014 7:36 pm  

Chile looked cream crackered by the end of the match. If they'd got through they wouldn't have been in much shape for the next game. But Brazil are very average.

Webb must be relieved. If Brazil had lost he would have needed an armed escort to get out of the country after disallowing the penalty and goal.
