Uruguay boss Oscar Tabarez has accused FIFA of making Luis Suarez a "scapegoat" and resigned from his role within football's governing body in protest over the striker's punishment.

"It is not wise or prudent to be in an organisation with people, those who exerted pressure to promote this decision and those who rendered the punishment, who managed procedures and values very different to those I have," Tabarez told reporters at his pre-match press conference Therefore, in the coming days, I will file my resignation to that position formally.

(This decision) is much more focused on the opinions of the media - the media that attacked immediately after the conclusion of the match. At the press conference, the only topic journalists spoke about was that one. I don't know what their nationality was but they all spoke English.

Suarez returned to a hero's welcome from hundreds of fans at Montevideo airport, from where he was whisked to his mother's home in the southern province of Canelones.
