But for all the brilliant Brazilian bendiness, what about the hockey-style rebound off the nets? On reflection, doesn't the goal look like kicking a ball against a wall in training?
Suarez's effort deserves much better.
How much better might this goal have looked if the nets weren't made of trampoline, weren't yanked back to full tautness and there was no ground support spoiling the aesthetics?
What if the net actually retained the ball?
Might it look like this?
The ball goes dead.
The keeper stays beaten.
Everyone watching can pause in the moment to reflect that they've just witnessed - and while the ball remains motionless in the net they are still witnessing - a great goal.
