England had lost to Italy in their first game, and with the loss to Uruguay, the English national team's chances of progressing in the tournament were dashed.

After his heroic victory, the Uruguayan striker faced the ire of England fans and social network sites were abuzz with hate messages for him.

From politicians to celebrities, many fans vented their anger at the footballer who was previously slapped by Liverpool with an eight-game ban for racist slurs.

Labour MP for Dudley North, Ian Austin tweeted: ''Of all the people, it had to be the dirty, cheating violent racist cheat Suarez.'"

Former X Factor singer Frankie Cocozza tweeted: ''I would f*** love it if Suarez got shot in the mouth. C***. Below are the death threat tweets by England soccer fans.

Meanwhile, the Uruguayan president Jose Mujica praised Suarez for his 'marvellous' performance, which elevated the team's winning spirit.

"Luis has made the Uruguayan people happy again. I'm sure the English will understand a bit better what happened to them because Suarez played and they know him," Mujica said while congratulating his team.
