    What are the chances the next penalty Suarez gets is from a dive? Would that be too perfect? Would it be his last ever <laugh>

    Evans one was never a penalty and I dont recall the other ( probably due to so much about the Evans one ).

    Rio slightly brushed his hair at one point and I was about to call the coroner as I though Suarez had died due to massive internal head injuries. A few seconds later Jesus had helped his recovery ( I assume it was Jesus, hes the miracle maker after all )

    Considering there was absolutely no contact with Valencia that's a little smug :)

    Maybe he needs to train with your lads to get it looking more authentic

    In a game where Valencia can get a penalty for falling down I think both of Suarez were more of a penalty shout and considering the criteria for earning a pen on the day.. a little strange

    Course there was contact but it wasnt a penalty for me, Valencia ****ed up and made the wrong choice. Tbh Vals no diver but I think he panicked as he was probably going to get a boot at his head for being stupid and not passing or shooting earlier.

    thing is, Valencia's never even looked even remotely like one. I could see he tried to stick his leg out towards Johnson just as he went down, it was premeditated mate sorry. Pires invented that trick didn't he. Kick the keeper and go down

    Bale is totally incomparable to Suarez. You'd be hard pushed to find more than 2/3 occasions where Bale dived or went down easy last season, I posted a video where Suarez threw himself to the floor without being fouled 3/4 times against us in one game and the video wasn't even focused on him and there was no real coverage on it because that's just a normal game for Suarez.

    Of course there are plenty of other divers in the league, people were contesting that Suarez is a serial diver, hence why we're talking about him and not anyone else that has dived recently.

    Hows it going Mossy <ok>

    Dare I say it but looks like you might have found the right manager this time.

    One other thing about the Suarez/Bale comparison is that Bale diving is probably the only unsavoury part of his game.
    Suarez can't really say the same, can he? He's offended an entire nation, for a start.

    Ghana?

    A lot of players would have done what he did. Including I imagine Bale, Vertonghen, Dembele etc. In fact I imagine most players would have. Stakes were very high.

    I might have done the same thing but i would have dissapeared straight down the tunnel and not reappeared, instead of hanging around at the side then running on the pitch to celebrate at the end
