'Wrong' Suarez receives online abuse

An Argentine man has found himself the target of online abuse after angry football fans mistook his Twitter page for that of Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez.

Diego Suarez, whose Twitter handle is '@Suarez', has been receiving thousands of hateful messages after the Liverpool forward was accused of biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini in Uruguay's 1-0 win against the Azzurri.

In response, Diego Suarez has been forced to post tweets insisting that he is not the controversial footballer.

PLEASE STOP I AM NOT URUGUAYAN, I AM NOT LUIS SUÁREZ, I DONT SAY «ENTRECOT», I SAY «BIFE DE CHORIZO»
