Oh puliz! Can you just shut up, how can you know if the tackle was "mistimed"? Are you in Matuidi's mind?
You are boldly saying people should start hurting other people because shit happens?

Yes Suarez's long ban was as a result of repeated assaults but that tackle on Onazi, whether mistimed or not should have a rash punishment.

Or do you know football more than Maradonna?

alekside: We are not too sure if Matuidi's tackle was intentional as none of us was in his mind hence the use of apostrophe.

You mean Fat Ronaldo? Chiellini, who was on the wrong end of Suarez's bite condemned FIFA's "over the top" long term ban. Wetin con be Ronaldo own?

As far as I'm concerned, there is more to the unnecessary long term ban than meets the eyes.

Guykhena: Sorry Maradona nothing is more worse than vampirism.........

youngice: the tackle was prepostErous

ophilly: Wrong, a deliberate rough tackle may end the opponents career, it may even kill him. A bite may not cause any serious damage. Punishment for biting should be milder, FIFA is aware of this, Suarez's case is bad because he is an unrepentant reprobate offender having committed the same offence 3times.

Guykhena: Chiellini only did that for doing sake(he didn't mean it),,cus you could see his reaction after the attack he was showing everyone the bite mark(maybe if he didn't Suarez would have gotten a free pass),he brought the proof that implicated Suarez , so him condemning FIFA is just for formality sake

Guykhena: And what exactly is that?
Someone misbehaved and got punished and you think the punishment is a cover up for something else?

shymexx:

Football is a passionate game, and decision making happens within seconds. I've watched the challenge again, and it wasn't intentional. It was a mistimed tackle. His eyes were clearly on the ball. Yes, he should have been sent off. However, refs are human, and if he missed it, so be it. There have been crazy tackles, with studs up in the tournament, with no one getting sent off. Shyte happens.

Also, FIFA can do something about it. But it has nothing to do with conspiracy.

jude33084:

I am not part of that conspiracy bro I just ask a question and now you have answered it with the bold part.

Guykhena: I smh for you tooo,,,
The tackle wasn't intentional,compared to Suarez vampire attack...

It depends on the country hosting the world cup, FIFA knows if Brazil goes out in the group stage the tournament will die and instant death, because the fans will switch off compare to South Africa where the public showed alot of interest and alot of fans travelled to Jo'burg. FIFA favoured both host in Korea/Japan because of this fear but saying this very world that has both Colombia and Costa Rica in the last 8 for the first time could also meet in the final quashes your train of thought that FIFA wants the so called big teams (which some of them are already home). Marketing wise France offers nothing to FIFA, they dont have a marketable player in the same class Rooney, Torres, Neymar etc let alone Ronaldo so tell me what has FIFA has to gain but making sure France gets through? Oh to relive W Germany vs France semi's at the 1982 worl cup

Perhaps, if you've got eyes and a functioning brain, you would go back and watch the replay again, before spewing vacuous tosh. I can't stand sore losers. Mistimed tackle and part of the game, time to move on. You win some and lose some. If the ref hadn't disallowed Dzeko's clean goal against Nigeria, you won't even be talking about this today, would you? Well, that's how football is.

Yeah, the same Maradona that was disgraced out of football for using drugs...the hand of god bandit, who's more or less a crackhead and still bitter about Pele's greatness. I've got the utmost respect for Maradona as a man, and when he played. And he's the 2nd greatest player to ever play the game. However, why hasn't he done a press conference about the dubious goals the Argies scored against Nigeria(he played in that game with steroids hence he was banned for 15 months after the game), at the 1994 world cup?

alekside: Naah, it wasn't just formality. He said he was more pained about Italy's early exit. He felt sorry for Suarez and his family for the harsh ban by Corrupt FIFA.

No one is saying Suarez shouldn't be punished. Four months ban from every football related activities is quite over the top IMHO. The guy kill person ni?

kendrick93: worse tins happen on d futbol pitch dan suarez bite.. i will rather take a bite dan to hav a career threatining injury

kendrick93: maradona is d greatest playa to play d game on d pitch nt pele.pele is just a fifa poster boy

StarBoard:

Funny.
So how come England, Spain and Italy dropped by in the first round?
Or do the Netherlands, Belgium Switzerland,Colombia now spend more than the afore-mentioned nations?

Another post gone to the dogs due to paucity of logic.

50calibre:

The fact Columbia and Costa Rica are in the last 8, has nothing to do with FIFA's preference. FIFA isn't going to rig games just to allow teams advance because that's what it wants.

France as well as other big European teams are very much beneficial to FIFA without necessarily having big marketable stars. A large part of FIFA's revenue comes from TV rights, these countries have very large viewership, then not to mention the fans who travel all the way to brazil, ticket sales, & even marketing rights (for even the not so big stars)

Despite the lack of notable stars in the French side, I can assure you Benzema & Pogba are more marketable than any African, Columbian or Costa Rican player.

omar22:

Are you serious?

Yaya Toure is more marketable than both players mentioned above, Andre Ayew is more marketable than Benzema in France, then you mentioned Pogba compared to Rodriguez, Martinez and Falcao. Please market wise France in nowhere in the position to influence FIFA's finances, Germany/English yes but France hell no

shymexx:

Lmao...yet he didn't achieve anything with a star-studded Argie team at the 82 world cup, no? And he was disgraced out of football as a cheat. He was great, no doubt - but he's not even close to the great Pele!

No one is ever going to touch Pele!

shymexx: Dzeko's disallowed goal against Nigeria.

I bet this is Nigerian conspiracy, no?

Guykhena: And risk getting rabies?

omar22:

Yaya Toure is more marketable than both players mentioned above, Andre Ayew is more marketable than Benzema in France, then you mentioned Pogba compared to Rodriguez, Martinez and Falcao.

abatically:

Pogba is more marketable than toure right now due to their age. Pogba can easily be sold for 50 million, u can't get more than 25-30 million for toure. If u know about football u should already know toure is already 31. Also benzema is more marketable than ayew.
