The reaction to Suarez ban in his home country is quite incredible. How they think in this way is a very clear indication of another world (The last one is my favourite) Andreas Campomar, Uruguayan author of Golazo! A History of Latin American Football: What is incomprehensible is the vitriol with which the English press, in particular, have gone after the Uruguayan. Far worse things have happened on the pitch, even where English players are concerned. For many Latin Americans, the ban will have wider repercussions. It will be construed as the usual high-handedness Europe employs in relation to Latin America. A case of one rule for them and one rule for us. Uruguay sports minister Liliam Kechichian: This disproportionate sanction hurts us. We now have to see how we can help the human being (Suarez) and how the team shows the best it has and its love for the countrys colours. Uruguayan newspaper La Republica: Fifa crucified Suarez and kicked him out of the World Cup. The 2014 World Cup in Brazil will go down in history as the one in which Fifa ex officio stripped Uruguay of its most powerful weapon. Robert Lima, winner of several Uruguayan championships with Penerol: We should withdraw from the World Cup, because what they have done is so lamentable. But at least we can go forward with dignity. Ha ha, he said dignity.
