9 - Luis Suárez - v1

[Bertus]

Lol. All in order for a 5m+Sanchez offer being accepted.

You guys can't be serious.

 

[Ryan_Cule]

Until then we can be out of the title race.



That sounds a bit harsh to me.

If you are out from title race with Messi, Iniesta, Neymar(with their current form) then you may as well just stop hoping for title race with or without any transfers.

Can he appeal the decision?

 

[Tomchin]

Suarez would also be back 1 month into the new season so he would likely only miss 4 games.

8 games? 4 in September and 4 in October? Here's the full statement of the FIFA btw:

[Sumlit]

The 4 month general football ban should be appealed. That is total bullshit.

 

[Bertus]

Can he appeal the decision?

He can, but usually you lose in appeal and get an even bigger sanction.

Appeal also doesn't stop your current sanction in this case.

(that's what they are saying here.

 

[LeeRomeno]

He was banned 8 games into new season last year and still ended up as best goalscorer? I think this 9 international match ban is even more relevant, this means that after that ban is over he will not travel to those stupid national friendlies and will be more fresh compared to other players.

 

[King Leo]

Good question.

Listening to the radio right now and he can't even enter a stadium for training nor join his club training activities.

I bet many players are now afraid of letting in Mad Dog Suarez, he might just start biting again.

Luis Suárez no podrá ser traspasado en 4 meses! Definitivamente el Barça está gafado!

He says Suarez cannot be transfered for 4 months, not sure if true.

· The player Luis Suárez is banned from taking part in any kind of football-related activity (administrative, sports or any other) for a period of four (4) months in accordance with art. 22 of the FDC.

What does administrative mean here? I hope it's not what I think...

Journalists here are checking.

They said Suarez' lawyer will appeal that if it's confirmed. (so suarez laywer were anticipating a transfer ban before the sanction was made official)

Iniesta's form doesn't impress me, I am yet to be convinced that Neymar can score as many goals in the league as he does with the NT and we don't know how Messi will return from the WC. Not to mention that is already hard enough for most of the players in their first year at Barca..so I don't know how long it will takke Suarez to fit in the team if he isn't even allowed to train with his teammates.

 

[Chainsaw]

Doesn't 4 month ban start from now on? He should be available by September.

 

[cro-man]

Fifa is soo funny haha. I know a bite is a bit strange but this kind of punishment? Really?? Why not ban pepe forever? I mean what is worse to strike down a player or to bite a player? A elbow in your face is much harder than a bite on a shoulder. And what did the france player get yesterday yes nothing!!!
