Suarez on cloud nine

SAO PAULO. — Uruguay match-winner Luis Suarez says his country’s 2-1 World Cup soccer win over England brought him retribution against his critics in England.
The Liverpool striker (27) scored in both halves to condemn England to their second successive loss in Group D and leave them close to a World Cup exit.“Before the game, too many people in England laughed about my attitude over the last few years,” he said.

“This is a very good time for me. I want to see what they think now.”

Suarez, who missed Uruguay’s opening World Cup defeat by Costa Rica after a month out following knee surgery, has been subjected to heavy criticism since signing for Liverpool from Ajax in 2011.

He was banned for 10 matches after biting the arm of Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic in a Premier League match in April 2013 and was given an eight-match suspension for racially abusing Manchester United’s Patrice Evra in October 2011. — BBC Sport.
