Johan Cruyff did the same years ago......
I'd personally say its bad sportsmanship & is there also not an argument to be had for offside?
Not offside as they are behind the ball when played.
As other threads have been talking about interpretation of the Laws of the game, I'll chuck in that this should have been re-taken because Suarez was inside the D when Messi kicked the ball. A TV ref review of all angles should have disallowed that!!
Sorry!

Why not just let somebody else take the pen then?Most people don't do it because they would rather score, but Messi is a class above everyone else and isn't selfish. You wouldn't see Ronaldo doing it

Would this be allowed in a play off final? Usually all the remaining players stand on the half way line

You can see clearly that Suarez is outside the box...the top of his head is visible and behind the line...Sorry!

Not true. The ball becomes dead when the penalty kick is concluded in a shoot out. So it could hit the bar and go in off the keeper and it would be a goal.Yes in a shoot-out, the ball is dead the moment it is kicked, hence no rebounds off keeper or post are allowed.
In a sport rife with diving, appealing for thrown-ins/corners when you know you've kicked it out, timewasting etc, I'm flabbergasted (just wanted to write that really...) that anyone is saying this is 'unsporting'!
Just like the panenka, it's simply a different (legit) way of scoring a penalty.
But people complain about those other methods as well, they are well within reason to bemoan this.
