On the other hand, FIFA has acknowledged what typically occurs when there’s an incident of elbowing.
Has a suspended ban ever occurred before this? It very much a token measure intended to give the impression that action is being taken.
Btw, my memory was right about Mandzukic being another case.

Dale’s usually a prick but this is a good piece.
But as I said there’s an acknowledgment from Fifa of the unusualness of the suspension by deciding to suspend the suspension pending further behaviours. They’ve not to my knowledge ever done this. In fact it’s confirmed by Dale
Yeah. Dude always gets hard done by FIFA.
Portugal as well, don’t forget he’s so bad now he’s actually detrimental to them. So they were probably hoping for a longer ban.
