not moronic in the least but a stroke of genius-- especially the bullshit face-grabbing and fake rolling on the floor he did afterwards. he got cavani thrown out of the game! in spite of the later sanctions, he couldn't have done better for his team.
although that was probably bribe money... fucile was thrown out on a non-existent foul as well. truly scandalous. yes, yes, we still love this sport...
anyway...

So, the finger shit, that was crass as hell, but payback was a-coming...

strikers and defenders usually develop a history of some kind; i didn't know of this feud in particular but i'm not surprised. uruguay sucked in those qualifiers, and barely made it via a playoff with an oceania team (new zealand i think it was). so their fate did not change there.
but anyway, in a different setting--- google cavani-chiellini for some hilarious photography. why wait, i'll post it here, ha ha ha ha
