The must have souvenir of a trip to Copacabana Beach today isn’t a string bikini or a Neymar top but a selfie with your body part stuck in the snarling jaws of the Uruguayan Suarez.
WORLD, AND HIS GRANNY, REACT TO SUAREZ PENALTY
As Suarez left the tournament in disgrace, Adidas was left scratching heads as to whether the Suarez billboards in Rio were an embarrassment or marketing gold. They certainly were grabbing the attention of World Cup tourists.
Tourists joke in front of an advertisement with the portrait of Uruguay's forward Luis Suarez.

“We do not accept the recent behaviour of Luis Suarez and shall remind him of the high standards we expect of our players.”
While fans in Rio were poking fun, hundreds gathered at Montevideo’s airport waiting for a glimpse of their hero. For hours and hours on end, with no sign that he was coming.

Suarez bit my finger!

He has a point.
