So...football...

I remember watching football when I was younger and being told it was a mans game. It was a contact sport. It's not anymore though, is it?

Luis Suarez has been called clever. It's been said he 'won' a penalty and I've heard that he punished Guzan for rushing out recklessly. Rubbish to all three. He could have stayed on his feet, he could have perhaps scored anyway but he chose not to.


Do I blame the referee? No. Do I blame Suarez? To an extent. Do I blame the interpretation of the rules of football and the precedent that has been set by leading figures in the game? Yes.
