Regarding Henry and Suarez :
Henry's crim was not confessing ? I heard that a lot when it happened and it's beyond ridiculous. Of course he's not going to confess during the match, who would ever do that ? He should have been suspended (and might have been, I honestly don't remember), but confessing was never an option... Even if he had confessed, there's nothing the referee could have done. They just don't go back on their decision, ever.
ash, I don't think you understood what I meant about Suarez's hand. If a french player had done that in the World Cup, sure I would have cheered. But I wouldn't have thought it was a good thing for the game either. I don't think the way we qualified for the 2010 World Cup (Henry's hand) was good for football. It was good for us, and I was happy we qualified, but I would rather it have happened otherwise (not sure about my grammar there, but oh well).
Basically I understand why Suarez did what he did, and I don't blame him for it, but I regret that it can happen.
Also Suarez is generally an asshole and Uruguay is a team that plays awful, awful football that is boring to watch. So I was really sad that Ghana got eliminated on that, when Ghana is an awesome team (as any American would know :p).
And then this is an entirely different conversation than Suarez biting someone, which is flat-out unacceptable and should be punished by much more than 2 matches.
