I want to know why a "handball" in the goal area results in the FIFA Disciplinary Committee convening?Suarez got off easy. It's just a one-match suspension. His handball in the box was the reason his team got through. I would have done the same thing with time expiring but it is somewhat unsportsmanlike. The Committee convened because there were legitimate calls to ban him for both remaining games. He'll instead get to play in either the Final or the 3rd place match. Why does it result in a minimum one match suspension? A red card results in a minimum one match suspension because there would otherwise be no disincentive for a player to do something flagrantly and unacceptably outrageous in the final minutes of a match. The NBA has similiar rules for ejected players or for multiple technical fouls (their version of a yellow card) over a number of games. |
