I am by no means FIFA's biggest fan, but I felt like they warranted a bit of recognition for the way that the Suarez matter has been dealt with.
They moved swiftly and decisively and have reached what I hope most people will conclude is a reasonable decision.
Admittedly the fine is a bit of a nonsense, but then all football-related fines are, but otherwise I say the FA could probably learn a thing or two given the protracted and frustrating way they have gone about disciplinary matters in the past.
Also, I have a bit of sympathy for Liverpool if he ends up missing the start of their season (but not for any club who buys him in the meantime. They know what they are paying for), but it had to be a world-wide punishment.
Like one commentor neatly summed up, if I get caught drink-driving, I don't just get banned from driving in that town.
