I doubt that one goal where he fought to stay on his feet is going to change his whole outlook on life and the game, but I hope something does.
Hoestly, out of all the divers and whiners that I've ever complained about, at this moment Suarez is worse than all of them. I've never seen anyone behave this way on the pitch.
Hopefully one day, and one day soon, he'll realize that you cant pull this kind of crap and that he'll score far more goals being strong on his feet and on the ball than he ever will on his ass on the ground.

I wasn't thinking along the lines of that goal creating an epiphany for him where he doesn't dive anymore. I was thinking that he has probably been hearing a lot of negative things from media/fans/opposing fans lately, with the diving and racism accusations. I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to keep it as clean as possible for a while.
I also wouldn't be surprised if it continued. It is hard to get players to stop diving when you see games being decided in their favor as a result of the dive. The advantages of diving far outweigh the consequences.
