You are mistaken. That's what your missing. Suarez has been painted that way by the biased English media.

He's fights through more contact to score goals than Robben has ever done. He scored a goal from on the ground this year after being taken down.

Obviously you just don't know the sport.

Depends on what you mean: in common usage, perhaps, but I have no way of quantifying this. In academic prose, I'm not sure I've seen a noticeable increase or decrease in usage (and I read a lot of late-19th century, early-20th century things).

Ah well there's our problem...most academic prose goes practically unread anyway.

Perhaps you're thinking of Ashley Young, or Adnan Januzaj, or Gareth Bale. Or pretty much any Spaniard or Italian.

Not sure if you've noticed, but the South Americans really don't flop very much. Except Fred, but I'm not convinced he's South American. He certainly doesn't play like one.

Lololololololololololololololololol Blaming the English media

Also diving less than Robben is not an accomplishment.
 
Scoring 31 goals without taking penalties is, especially when you don't get the calls you should because of previously mentioned bias in the country.

They just stopped giving penalties in the Man U game because it was ridiculous how often they were fouling Liverpool players, and the game was completely out of hand. Rather than call them all, the official just decided to try to get the game overwith. Liverpool should have been credited for holding their composure in the face of such thuggish tactics and cowardly officiating, but weren't.

I don't recall denying that he's an absolutely phenomenal goal scorer.

Also I don't give a fuck about Man United

http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/video-all-of-the-bad-challenges-refused-penalties-suffered-by-luis-suarez-this-season-so-far/

And that was just in a part of one season. And through all that abuse, the absolute negligence on the part of the English FA (at best, in reality it was not negligence, but outright corruption and conspiracy to have him leave England) and the silence to it from the English media, he has never missed a game due to injury for Liverpool. Just an amazing athlete.

So yeah, you don't know shit of what you're talking about.

If you don't think the treatment of Suarez in England and the US vs. other countries is down to the press, well then you are completely ignorant of everything that has happened the last few years there. And the press in England has been anti-Liverpool (not just the club, the city as well) dating back to Thatcher.
 
Let's hope the refs don't give another European team a win over CONCACAF.

Possibly my favorite. The two-footed lunging tackle that he turns into a dive feigning like he had been fouled.

Speaking of terrible Suarez challenges... these could have been straight reds:

Maybe he simply lost his balance, which made him jump, and he just happened to fall two-footed into his opponent's leg? I'm sure that is what happened.

There was no racial abuse, only a cultural misunderstanding by a board of xenophobes that was poisoned against Liverpool by a Man U executive, and nothing has been admitted or proven in the World Cup.
 
LOL DV must have a bookmark of Suarez footage organized by category so he can cherry pick any set of footage for any situation.

Impressive, but really a pretty sad statement on one's life.
 
I can't produce a video collage of Man U player transgressions because it simply doesn't matter enough to my life to keep one.

But we know that in just a handful of games, a Man U player has been booked for diving more often than anyone in the league.

Proof positive of the bias against Suarez in the FA and media ... he has never actually been sent off from a game in England. It's always the media winding things up after the fact that gives the FA license to do things that would otherwise be unaccept to fair minded people.
 
In short, you can tell any story you want by cherry picking video. Proves nothing, really. Suarez plays through contact more often than most, and most of the times he does dive it's out of frustration for not getting calls where he was fouled but no call was made because he keeps pursuing the ball and trying for goal.
