I wonder with Suarez's 4 month + 9 international matches ban if those 9 matches start with the next match or after those 4 months. It'd be better IMO if those 9 matches start after those 4 months. So 4 months + the next 9 matches should be it IMO.

Both bans start from today.

Typical FIFA derp

Yep, I'm not sure how many internationals Uruguay will have in that 4 months though.



Around the Network

So 9 international matches for Uruguay and and 4 months of everything else, right? That would mean he's banned for (Reddit as source):
- 9 international matches for Uruguay
- 3 Champions League matches for Liverpool
- 9 BPL matches for Liverpool

So that's basically a 21 game ban for Suarez.

EDIT: The matches Suarez will miss for Liverpool

Aug 16: Liverpool v Southampton
Aug 23: Manchester City v Liverpool
Aug 30: Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool
Sep 13: Liverpool v Aston Villa
Sep 16: Champions League matchday 1
Sep 20: West Ham United v Liverpool
Sep 27: Liverpool v Everton
Sep 30: Champions League matchday 2
Oct 4: Liverpool v West Bromwich Albion
Oct 18: Queens Park Rangers v Liverpool
Oct 21: Champions League matchday 3
Oct 25: Liverpool v Hull City



USA are playing so well that I'm actually pretty excited for their match with Germany. Wouldn't have said that 4 years ago.

Looks like they have one friendly in October against Saudi Arabia, plus unkown number of matches at this WC.

He'll miss Liverpool's first League Cup game as well, so its 22 games he'll miss

Schweinsteiger for Khedira and Podolski for Götze in the starting XI

Even better :p



Sticking to funky names of countries

Portugalia 2:1 Ghana
Stany Zjednoczone 1:3 Niemcy
Algieria 2:1 Rosja
Korea Południowa 0:3 Belgia



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

IMO Suarez gets what he deserves :).

Some of the "advertising" mocking the biting incident must have hit the FIFA hard. They don't like it when people screw with the advertising income.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

In case people didn't know: Muntari and Boateng have been kicked out of the Ghana squad.
