I’m not upset at this. Sure it looks really dirty but he was trying to hit the ball even if Parker was in the way.

I’m just not going to get all subjective.

Your subjectivity is refreshing

Look at his eyes the whole time. He was following the ball not Parker. Deserved the yellow, but was not intentional.

Just such an unbelievably stupid thing to do. Wasn’t even close to the ball and his timing was way late. By the time he had started his kick, Scotty had pretty much already won the ball. There’s something wrong with Suarez’s head (outside of the whole racism thing). The way he freaks out about stuff is absurd. His reaction when he thought a Tottenham player had handled it in the box when it was only his own damn self who handled it was utterly ridiculous and painted the picture of an emotionally unstable young man. I get sports are sports and testosterone is flowing, but settle down, Luisito.

Suarez is an ass and this was unbelievably stupid

but to be fair to him, he realized he made a mistake kicking scotty almost as soon as he made it. He went to apologize and didn’t even do his customary freakout when he was shown a yellow.

Everything else, yeah, he’s a total drama queen and his antics almost certainly damage his standing with the referees.

I've always wondered

What it would be like to just blatantly kick someone in the stomach like this…

Guess I’m going to have to ask Luis about that…

My problem isn't that it's late

It’s that he doesn’t even seem to have his body in the correct position to attempt a shot on goal. He’s not kicking at an angle to come across the ball as it drops – he’s just kicking someone because he can and there’s a whiff of a disguise.

I suppose he could have half pulled out of his kick when he realized he’d never get the ball, but whatever. Dude is a dick and he doesn’t get points from me for not throwing his usual tantrum.
