Online vigilante justice may be swift, but it’s rarely accurate. Not long after Uruguay’s famously cannibalistic Luis Suarez bit Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini in a World Cup match, resulting in a suspension, Twitter users heaped abuse upon the soccer star—or tried to.
He did it again! @Suarez pic.twitter.com/H1tPAE7qKx

Trouble is, @Suarez isn’t that Suarez. After retweeting some of the funnier jeers, Diego Suarez attempted to set the record straight, noting that many people around the globe have the same surname. He joked that people might also confuse him with Uruguay player Diego Lugano. Later, he expressed disbelief that “anything you say will be retweeted anywhere in the world by any idiot,” saying he felt “responsible for the first time in Twitter.”
NO SOY LUIS SUAREZ, HAY MUCHOS SUAREZ EN EL MUNDO, NO SOY LUIS SUAREZ POR FAVOR

Lo malo de esto es que se viene otra carta abierta de Lugano

Todo lo que diga será retuiteado en cualquier parte del mundo por cualquier idiota. Me siento responsable por primera vez en Twitter

If you’re still mad at Luis, you can find him over on his verified account, where he was just recently showing off those dangerous pearly whites. Consider every smile a warning.
Thanks for coming and supporting me as always. You give me more energy than everyone else!! I love you a lot!! pic.twitter.com/jOHJkNfJGl
