True dippin. However, in most such cases there is a chance at goal. In the case of Suarez, the goal was guaranteed. You can argue that there is hypocrisy and inconsistency in that, but I look at Suarez (who has dived and bitched more than anyone else so far) and I consider it sad that he was paraded around like a national hero by his teammates after they won. Is winning at all costs the lesson we want to teach our children? In a game that is follwed like a religion, and where "fair play" is the slogan, I think we should endeavor to set a better example. The IFAB need to go back and think about this one, but also many other instances where there is a need for stronger rules and better enforcement.
