Furious Uruguay Coach Claims Suarez Is Being Made A 'Scapegoat'
Uruguay boss Oscar Tabarez has continued to defend disgraced striker Luis Suarez and accused FIFA of making him a "scapegoat".
The Liverpool striker was banned for nine international matches and received a four-month worldwide football ban on Thursday for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini in La Celeste's 1-0 victory on

The Sharp Ends Begins
MATCHDAY PREVIEW – It is Round of 16 time at the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ and the knockout phase begins with a pair of all-South American ties. Brazil and Chile get the ball rolling, and the host nation can take comfort from their clear supremacy in this fixture down the years, having won 48, drawn 13 and lost just seven of their 68 previous meetings – not to mention their haul of 159 goals for and 58 conceded. Games between Uruguay and Colombia have generally been more even, in contrast, La Celeste enjoying the upper hand thanks to 18 victories, nine draws and 11 defeats.
A Seleçao prevailed in two of their Group A contests and were held by Mexico in the other, but they – and star player Neymar – look to be positively growing in strength. That said, Chile will be no pushovers as they proved in a tough Group B, where they kicked off with a stylish 3-1 success against Australia before sinking holders Spain 2-0 and putting up solid resistance in a 2-0 loss to the Netherlands. They collected a few yellow cards along the way, though, and like Brazil have four key players risking suspension if they are booked again.
The World Cup Group Stage In Quotes
With 48 of the 64 games at the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ now in the rear-view mirror, FIFA.com takes a moment to look back over some of the most memorable quotes from the group stage.
Group A
"I don't think Neymar has even started his World Cup yet." Brazil midfielder Willian after A Seleçao swept Cameroon aside 4-1
"That was just frustration as a result of how the game was going. They're not bad guys – on the contrary, they're friends. They're always having fun together." Cameroon defender Stephane Mbia gives his insight into the altercation between Benjamin Moukandjo and Benoit Assou-Ekotto at the end of Cameroon's 4-0 loss to Croatia
We Have To Go For The Cup - Sneijder
Wesley Sneijder was the undisputed star of the Netherlands' last FIFA World Cup™ campaign, and ended the tournament clutching the adidas Silver Ball. But while the challenge of going from runner-up to winner, from silver to gold, has consumed him ever since, it seemed that he might not get the chance.
A discordant relationship with Louis van Gaal has, after all, plagued the last two years of the midfielder's career, and led to suggestions that he would be omitted from the Oranje team - perhaps even from the squad - at Brazil 2014. The first major decision Van Gaal had taken after assuming control was to strip Sneijder of the captaincy, and he was openly critical of the fitness and form of this former talisman. "I have the idea he doesn't get it," the manager added ominously.
