Luis Suarez gets 2-match ban for tunnel row

Barcelona vs Espanyol
Barcelona star, Luis Suarez has been handed 2-match ban following his row with Espanyol players after the Catalan’s 4-1 victory against the club in the Copa Del Rey on January 6. The ex Liverpool man had confronted the rivals after the game and had reportedly shouted, “I’m waiting for you, come here! You’re a waste of space,”
Barcelona confirmed the new development on its official website
“FC Barcelona received notification on Friday from the Spanish Football Federation that striker Luis Suárez was to face a two-match suspension for allegedly taking part in a scrum between players from Barça and Espanyol in the tunnel leading to the dressing rooms following Wednesday’s Copa del Rey last 16 first leg at Camp,” the club said.
“FC Barcelona will immediately proceed to appeal the ban. If the sanction holds up, Suárez would miss the return leg next Wednesday and a hypothetical first leg of the quarter-finals, should Barça qualify.
“In the appeal, FC Barcelona is expected to argue that the player, as he later stated, did not use the allegedly offensive words that were attributed to him in the referee’s official notes following the match.”

"Suarez's ban too harsh, could ruin his livelihood"- Fred (Brazil Forward)

We all feel for Suarez, well, others don’t. They deem the punishment meted out to the Uruguay striker for biting an opponent appropriate. Not because it was the verdict was the best FIFA could come up with but because he’s done it twice and has apparently not learnt from previous punishments. However, Brazil striker Fred thinks Suarez’s punishment was taken too far. Here’s what he told the press

“You can’t deny that Suarez committed a mistake, but as a player and a human being who sometimes takes things to heart, I think the ban is too severe. The majority of people I have spoken to about it think it is fair but it is a punishment that could ruin his livelihood.

I think he has to be punished, but I would really like to see him continue playing in this World Cup in Brazil.”

Biting incident: Luis Suarez fined £66,000, banned for 4months and from entering any stadium

Luis Suárez was doing exceedingly great in the tournament, his top form and excellent performances in Uruguay games were hailed by fans and football lovers across the globe until the ugly incident happened. For biting an opponent (Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini) in World Cup clash, the Liverpool striker has been handed a 4-month ban, fined £66,000 and banned from entering any stadium by FIFA committee.
Claudio Sulser, Chairman, FIFA independent disciplinary committee said: “Such behaviour cannot be tolerated on any football pitch, and in particular not at a Fifa World Cup when the eyes of millions of people are on the stars on the field. The Disciplinary Committee took into account all the factors of the case and the degree of Mr Suárez’s guilt in accordance with the relevant provisions of the code. The decision comes into force as soon it is communicated.”
His 9-game suspension for biting is longest EVER in the World Cup. Even if he appeals successfully, he will not be able play in any matches. Luckily, his ban will not affect any possible transfer, so he stands a chance of moving to another club next season, for now, he is on Barcelona’s radar.
Meanwhile that’s the third time he’ll be biting an opponent, I repeat, he should have his front teeth cropped.
