It's official, FIFA won't extend the one match ban on Suarez. Spain has to be faster on the counter to stand a chance against Germany. The other side of the draw is weak. Dutch are not as strong on defense. Germany's cup to lose.

It may have all been done by the book, but for me, as a fan of the game, he ain't no hero - he's not so much a cheat as a fucking sleazebag.
The reason?
Not the foul.
Not the red card.
The reason is his unbridled delight as Ghana missed the penalty. Geez, I hate that whatever-it-takes mentality. Shameless. I hope they get smashed. Actually, i hope they get beaten 1-0 by a dubious penalty.
The punishment fits the crime: Ghana fails to progress, he misses a match. Yeah right ...
I'm all for utter caution when it comes to rule changes, but the gamesmanship seen at this WC makes me cringe.
Exactly Ghana missed the PK. Thanks for proving my point for me.
