This issue is not settled yet, is this less dirty than Suarez's hand? I wonder...

Both examples are players being huge douchebags, but both smart plays too (especially in Suarez's case). IMO the rule should be if you clearly handle the ball to prevent a goal like Suarez did you should receive a lengthy ban (5 games) and we wouldn't see it again.

Both are WAY different examples. Uruguay paid a HUGE price by losing Suarez for the semi's. Paraguay got away with it. Not in the same category tbh

But that's because the ref didn't see it (I don't know how the linesman missed it though), whereas Suarez's was in plain sight. Whatever the Paraguay players name is should be given a lengthy ban too after this match with the video evidence there.

Personally I think the discipline system in world football is a disgrace and it should be more like Rugby.
