Far out! Arguably the best striker at the World Cup rules out. That's a big problem for Argentina. Who's his replacement? Higuain?

Lucky for Argentina they have Higuain and Lavezzi to fall back on.. Not as good as Aguero but better than what many other sides have..

 

[Xaviesta]

He's way too injury prone to be considered the best striker in the World.

When fit, and on form, he's up there with very best for me.

Well, they have options with both Higuain and Lavezzi in the squad but that really is a huge hit to their title aspirations. It's a shame with Agüero, he's a top-5 player in the world when he can stay fit.

Yeah, he is quality but the issue remains that he's sidelined every other week.

 

[Twigg]

Looks like that man has got his hands down Aguero's shorts.

 

[Sid234]

Things looking more positive on the USA game.

Road to the stadium in Recife is clear. No flooding. The problem - for teams and fans - will be breaking the gridlock in the city.

Robin van Persie and Zlatan have been ahead for a good few years. He'd probably fall behind them, ahead of the likes of Falcao, Lewandowski, Rooney (yeah) etc...

Horrible news for Argentina & Aguero, top player.

Reports in Uruguay it is NINE games for Suarez and four month ban from football!

Very light punishment if you ask me

#ARG Sergio Aguero will miss the rest of the World Cup with muscle injury, according to @Clarin_com http://mundial-brasil-2014.clarin.com/Aguero-queda-afuera-Mundial_0_1163883751.html… #MCFC

I think Aguero right now is one of the most injury prone players.

I think a year would have been beneficial for him. Enough time to try and sort the issues out that he has.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

He definitely is.

"Sport Witness ‏@Sport_Witness now
El Pais reckon Suarez has got 9 game ban and 4 more if he does something wrong again."

"Jamie Daltön ‏@JamieDalton82 now
Assume that's 9 International games and 4 month ban from all football activity if true."

Would that be from international football only?

 

[Sid234]

And the USA-Ger game will go on!

Oliver Kay ‏@OliverKayTimes now
Fifa saying #GER v #USA will go ahead as scheduled today despite flooding in Recife

 

[SolidState]

Only misses two months of the Spanish season and comes back fully fit and raring to go....extended holiday and a pay day....nice one FIFA

It's stronger than I had expected. I know it's off-season and the Spanish season doesn't start for two months but a full four-month ban is a strong statement nonetheless.

 

[Santos J]

 

[Jev]

Confirmed now with Suarez. Four month ban from football. Nine international games.

Fifa announces nine-game ban for #Suarez and '4 months ban for any football-related activity'

 

[DWelbz19]

That's passive as feck. Useless ban.

 

[Santos J]

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Four month ban is a bit stupid when it's summer?

 

[Sid234]

FIFA Media ‏@fifamedia now
DISCIPLINARY: Uruguay’s Luis Suarez suspended for 9 matches & banned for 4 months from any football-related activity.

4 months, half of which will go in pre-season!

John Cross ‏@johncrossmirror now
FIFA disciplinary committee says he's breached disciplinary code of "unsporting behaviour" against an opponent

Jonathan Northcroft ‏@JNorthcroft now
"The player Luis Suarez is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium"

John Cross ‏@johncrossmirror 3s
Fifa Claudio Sulsar said: "Such behaviour cannot be tolerated."

 

[Jev]

Can't enter any stadium for four months.

 

[Twigg]

Does all football activity include training?

 

[Xaviesta]

Four month ban is a bit stupid when it's summer?

Yeah, he can start again in October. Weak as piss from FIFA.

 

[SecondFig]

Four months would mean he'll miss Liverpool's first 9 games of the PL season... So it's fairly substantial

 

[RedSky]

Does all football activity include training?

Yes. All footballing activity.

 

[Brophs]

If that cnut plays FIFA during his ban I'm going to go apeshit.

 

[Mad Winger]

Soft as hell. Should have been out for an entire season imo. He never learns, and should be punished accordingly.

 

[Dracula]

Also cant train, like cantona couldn't

 

[saivet]

Does all football activity include training?

This was what I was wondering but surely that's too difficult to monitor.

 

[Sid234]

Jamie Daltön ‏@JamieDalton82 now
Assuming the four months starts now, Suarez should return for Liverpool's trip to Newcastle on November 1.

 

[Dracula]

Whats the point of a 9 match ban if banned for 4 months?

 

[Crustanoid]

They'll appeal and he'll be fine for the start fo the season....is my prediction

Why are barca playing newcastle?;-)

 

[Jev]

International games. Uruguay don't have nine matches within four months.

 

[Sid234]

Jonathan Northcroft ‏@JNorthcroft now
Suarez also banned from any "administrative" football activities. No keeping his hand in with a ticket office job then...

Does this mean he can't be transferred??
