Was Thierry Henry a genius?

Some will say yes, some will say no. It's a matter of opinion. He was a cheat too.

I really think football needs a citing commission like rugby where the game is viewed to see if there was any problems. It would stop all the diving, the elbowing, the headbutting etc. I think Costa should have been banned during this world cup and this would have stopped it. It'd cut out diving as well.

Zidane has done it before at 1:04. Zidane headbutting Materrazzi in the World Cup Final which was the 2nd time that he had headbutted someone got a 3 game ban. Suarez who bit someone for a 3rd time in the World Cup got a 9 game and 4 month ban. Zidane's attacks were both more brutal than Suarez's in my opinion. Fifa have to be consistent. If Zidane had gotten a 2 month ban I could understand the Suarez punishment as people view biting as worse than headbutting. The fact he got a 3 game ban, I don't accept it as the punishments are completely out of line with each other. People will say that Zidane was retiring but that shouldn't make any different to the punishment as he should have been banned from stadiums, training and any club like Suarez for it to be fair.

I personally wouldn't put the likes of Henry, Rooney, Van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo and Suarez into the category of genius.

Maradona, Zidane and Messi I would.

But as you say it's a matter of opinion.

What has that got to do with this Suarez ban. It's the first time Fifa have had some balls, even though they still bottled it imo, should've been longer

Nope it was only Liverpool domestic games he was banned for, he was able to play in FIFA's Confederations Cup

this was due to the fact it was the english fa that banned him not the international governing body.

Fifa really did miss a trick on their wording. They should have included a provision of some sort of treatment and also further sanctions (defined) if he was to do it again in his career.

But that would make sense.

you brought up the fact zidane didnt headbutt 3 times but he had been sanctioned for violent offence in the past. so its not applicable if the violent offences are varied but the book should be thrown if its the same specific type of act?

I'd never consider any soccer player a genius, well not for his playing ability anyway. Gifted fits them better. But genius just doesn't fit when we see so many of them are dumb as bag of hammers. That's just me.

OT: Completely deserved. Wonder would Fifa ever increase it if the appeal fails.

Ah FFS, George Best was a genius, Alex Higgins, Ronnie O'Sullivan. Intelligence and genius applies to sport.

Fifa have to be consistent. If someone has a similar history of on field violence, does a similar act then their bans have to be somewhat similar. Zidane should have gotten a similar sentence to Suarez. I can understand the bite is seen as worse by society so he should have got a longer ban. But a 3 game ban compared to a 9 game ban and 4 month suspension from football just doesn't seem like justice has been served. They have to be treated equally.

Yes the book should've been thrown at Zidane too, but there's not much can be done now. It's Whataboutery bringing it up in this argument. Hopefully this sets a precedent that Fifa has balls now.

So the "Whataboutery - he didnt do it 3 times" comment is baffling to me now, oh well

Just listening to the radio today and real Liverpool supporters - the likes of Lawrenson, Fowler and Phil Thompson have different opinions on the Suraz incident/s and the ethos of the club, than so-called supporters on this internet forum.

Maybe Liverpool "supporters" are so desperate for a league, they'll let anyone play for the famous club.

Just hope you don't viciously attack me now.

The podcast is on Today FM with Matt Cooper.

Lawrenson said it (Suarez biting/s) is the most bizarre thing he's ever seen in football and that he should be sold at any cost.

I think anyone with half a brain would agree - biting is something a dog or a 2 year old child would do.

But the defensive for Suarez on the internet forums does make for great comical reading. Carry on then.

Lawrenson is not a Liverpool supporter. Just a paid mouth.

6 month global ban

I'm confused as to what people's problem is really. This will hopefully clear things up a bit :P

Are those of you that are against the ban complaining because:

A) Suarez shouldn't have gotten such a severe ban because what he did wasn't deserving of it.
Suarez shouldn't have gotten such a severe ban because others didn't get similar for repeat offences of violent conduct.
C) Suarez shouldn't have gotten such a severe ban because FIFA don't have the authority to impose such a ban.
D) Suarez should have gotten a severe international ban but not a ban from playing with Liverpool.
E) Other - (Explain)

Going by his relatively good behaviour last EPL season I'd say its very likely that Liverpool may well have been doing that already. But obviously that would all have stopped once he goes away for 6 weeks with Uruguay.

It's possible. He should not have been banned from playing with Liverpool in my view and if Liverpool have been doing stuff to help with him they should come out with it. It would help him even if he may want to keep it personal to be more open if it's the case that he's been receiving treatment of some kind at Liverpool.

OK, a bit of respective,

Did Suarez or suraz (as some say) kill anybody.?

Did he end any other footballers career (like a certain other player).?

Did he assault a innocent football fan (like a certain other footballer).?

Did he have an 8 year affair with his brothers wife (like a certain other footballer).?

NO

He had a third nibble, no biggie.

Your is a possessive adjective, indicating ownership of something.

You're is a contraction (combination) of you and are.
