Liverpool striker Suarez slams Cardiff boos: You can't hurt me!

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has slammed the Cardiff crowd after Uruguay's defeat to Team GB. Suarez has condemned the abuse he received from the Millennium Stadium crowd during his country's 1-0 defeat to Great Britain.

Suarez said: "I think they jeer me and they boo me here because they must be scared of facing a player like me. They fear me, but that doesn't affect me.

"I'm hurt because we lost and we are going home. We all had a dream and that was to win the gold medal here.

"I can take the abuse. I don't mind. But I think it was a total lack of respect from the crowd to boo when we were trying to sing our national anthem. I think those things should not happen."
