Fifa may extend Suárez ban

Sat, July 3rd 2010

Fifa has confirmed that the Uruguay striker Luis Suárez could miss the rest of the World Cup following his handball against Ghana.

The striker will serve an automatic one-match ban ruling him out of the semi-final with Holland but Fifa’s disciplinary committee will look at the case to see whether he should also be suspended for Uruguay’s last match of the tournament.

It seems a bit unfair to me. Yes, he cheated, but he was caught and punished with a red card and a penalty. You cannot set the punishment higher just because it was the last minute of a game rather than the first.
