Suárez's World Cup Legacy
Suárez played four World Cups for Uruguay — 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022. He is best remembered for his deliberate handball on the goal line against Ghana in the 2010 quarterfinal, which denied a certain goal; he was sent off, but Ghana missed the resulting penalty and Uruguay advanced on to a fourth-place finish, their best World Cup since 1970. At the 2014 World Cup, he was banned for months after biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini. Despite being Uruguay's all-time top scorer, coach Marcelo Bielsa left Suárez out of the squad for the 2026 World Cup.
