Suarez and Uruguay were shocking, as they have been throughout the tournament. Yet that idiot on commentary felt the need to constantly big him up, bordering on calling him a hero for 'at least trying'.

Suarez is clearly a player with some degree of talent but lacks that extra bit of quality. His finish tonight where he side footed it into Butland with his left was awful. It was that poorly hit it would have struggled to make it into the net with no goalkeeper.

I really wanted a fight to break out there. Uruguay, the slimy, arrogant little people they are, seemed to have some sort of feeling of entitlement. The pushing and shoving was comical at times, taking great offence at just about everything that happened. Coates was the worst, his discipline is shocking, first in to every incident on the field. I wonder who he plays for, bit of a theme going with Liverpool FC and player's attitudes.

Suarez's form for the past few years for Uruguay has been unbelievable. Last year he was the best player at the Copa America. He's struggled at this tournament, as have the entire Uruguay squad (including Cavani, easily one of the best forwards in the world), it happens, believe it or not, the exaggerated overreaction to a few bad games really is baffling, especially when the great games far outweigh the poor ones.

When you're supposedly worth £x millions of pounds and a highly sought after player like Cavani is supposed to be, not being able to rip it up against a team of very average Premier League players - basically an England B team with a few Welsh lads in there for company - is highly embarrassing.

As for Suarez, meh. A reprehensible human being with a limited amount of footballing talent. That he's at the club he's at shows you how good he is.

It shouldnt be surprising that the quality of football isnt that great. Its pre season. All the other athletes, swimmers etc at the Olympics are at their physical peak. The footballers are at about 80% fitness.

More quality output from Senor Racist post match.

Apparently the reason he gets abuse from opposition fans is because they are scared of his ability.

Stop living in the past Rob. It makes you sound like a Liverpool supporter.

You serious? A degree of talent? Lacks that extra bit of quality?

I' pretty sure my stance on Liverpool and Suarez is known, but i do agree with this.

While on the other hand... @RAWK_Meltdown has picked a few classics which i'd like to share;

I don't think that this country deserves to have Luis Suarez.

Seems to be the PC thing now to boo Luis.

...the fans can vote for music before the match and at half time, we should all submit playlists with the Uruguayan national anthem in!

(Suarez) poor guy, f**king poor guy

We should play the Uruguay national anthem at Anfield to show our support and distance ourselves from the brainless GB hive mind. (Redshites accusing OTHERS of a hive-mind attitude )

I hope Uruguay batter us with Suarez scoring a hat-trick. COME ON LUIS! (LTS is obviously a RAWK member)

How sweet would a Suarez winner in the last minute be, sending Uruguay through and GB out. Awesome.

The Suarez case was never about racism, it was about Manchester United, Evra, Ferguson, The FA and the British media...
