- Luis Suarez criticized the behavior of the Colombian players after Uruguay’s semifinal loss in the Copa America, saying he was most bothered by their “mocking and celebrating”.
- Suarez said there are always clashes and words during matches, but the way the Colombians mocked Uruguay made no sense to him.
- Suarez recently joined Inter Miami in MLS and has reunited with former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets, with the goal of winning the MLS Cup.
Newsypeople- After the intense argument between Uruguay players and Colombian fans after the Copa America semifinal, experienced forward Luis Suarez has asked for togetherness and fair play in the football world.
Suarez, who did not directly take part in the conflict, shared his worry about the bad behavior shown by both teams.
“There are always arguments, jokes, words, and all that.” “But what worries me most is how they make fun and celebrate, it makes no sense,” he said.

The football player from Uruguay talked about how crucial it is to respect opponents, even when you lose. He said, “We beat Brazil, but not one of us ignored any Brazilian player.” Instead, we went to give them congratulations.
We work in the same field and understand how hard it is to experience a loss. Going by a colleague without acknowledgment seems bad, but the higher power watches all actions, and what you do always returns to you.
Suarez told his teammates and all football people to not let feelings take over and stay together. “We need to rise, keep strong, and be united,” he said. “We will often face similar situations,” he said, pointing out the necessity for everyone to work together in dealing with such events.
The main organization for football in South America, CONMEBOL, has also spoken against the violence that happened after the game. But it is not certain if they will punish anyone involved yet.
Suarez asking for unity and good sportsmanship shows us that football is mainly a game to bring people together, not push them apart.
As everyone looks forward to the final match between Colombia and Argentina, those who love football wish to see a game highlighting the sport’s nice values and fair play spirit.
