Unfortunately Luis Suarez is once again in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, having being suspended from all footballing activities for four months after being found guilty of biting.

Uruguayan media outlets have blasted FIFA for their decision. The UFA has launched an appeal, while Liverpool fans are crying foul that their best player has been ‘unfairly’ suspended for club matches.

Simply out, they’re aiming their anger at the wrong people.

Their anger should be directed at the man responsible for the act – Suarez himself.

For the third time in his career, Suarez – the EPL’s player of the year – has been found guilty of biting an opponent.

There is absolutely no doubt that he bit Giorgio Chiellini late in Uruguay versus Italy Game two nights ago.

The footage is clear as day and Suarez knew it as soon as he went to ground, but in something that unfortunately become a trademark for the Liverpool superstar, he immediately diverted blame elsewhere.

After claiming that he has been unfairly targeted by the English media, Suarez did the unthinkable, and took a piece out of yet another defender’s torso in front of a worldwide audience.

FIFA did not deliver a huge blow to Uruguay’s chances of advancing further in this World Cup, Suarez did.

FIFA did not take away Liverpool’s main man for their first 13 fixtures of the 2014/15 season, Suarez did.

It must be pure coincidence that the media is always there when Suarez acts up?
