Are Uruguay Liverpool in disguise?

Some extracts from an article on the BBC about Uruguay's reaction to the bite.

To sum it up:
Denying it happened.
Defending the guy to the hilt.
Blaming others.

Have they got the T-Shirts out yet?

"They came wearing shirts with 'Suarez 9' on the back. They shouted his name."

Are Uruguay Liverpool in disguise?

-------------------------
BBC Sport's Ben Smith attended a Uruguay news conference to ask about Luis Suarez. Here is Brazilian website Globo's account of events:

It fell to captain Diego Lugano to be the centre of attention for questions. The defender was engaged in a particular duel with an English journalist, who was willing to ask about 'Luisito', the centre of controversy when he was at Liverpool.

When Lugano arrived to give his interview, the Englishman was the first one to ask a question. He began by referring to the Suarez bite as an "incident".

"What incident? What incident?" retorted Lugano gruffly. "Are you talking about the Premier League? Yesterday's pictures don't show anything."

"When the journalist tried to communicate in English, he was cut short by Lugano, who claimed he would only speak in Spanish. The defender continued to defend Luisito against the questions that followed.

"I know that the British media persecute Suarez, that is known," he said. "We have played against Italy, we will play against Colombia. So what is a British journalist doing here at our team base? I don't have any other explanation. You can see by your face that you are happy about this."

"This was a camp, a country, united in denial, united by a desire to protect a friend, a team-mate, a player key to their ambitions, united by a clear belief that this was an unfair campaign driven by foreign media."

"Oscar Tabarez said that this was an incident that did not deserve the attention it had got. This was a story driven by a dislike of Suarez, a dislike of Uruguay, the team that had knocked England out."

"This was a view echoed by Uruguayan journalists in Natal and the dozens of fans who gathered at the gates of Estadio Maria Lamas Farache to watch their hero train."

"These things happen in football. No-one is complaining about Chiellini's elbow or Mario Balotelli, who kneed a Uruguay player in the head. That was a worse offence." - Marcelo Singer, Uruguayan Freelance Journalists.
