Hazard is from Belgium. Belgium is one of two countries to have a 'u' and a 'g' in it. The other is Uruguay.
Tenuous, I know, but I can't think of another link to kicking a ballboy to Luis Suarez, but I'm sure James Lawton and Martin Samuel will find one. Perhaps the play-acting ballboy has a Latin American penfriend?


Did anyone see Ireland put the ball in the net last night and look over at the linesman, even though he bloody knew it was offside? And why not - play to whistle, as I used to say to the team of eleven year olds I managed in a Sunday league years ago.
Notice Lawton, Champion, Samuel et al wrote no hand-wringing, pious articles about it though.
Hazard was stupid, you can't go kicking players never mind ball boys
However, I think the ball boy deserves some **** too, fancy lying on the ball![]()
