They can't do nothing, this is what, the third time he's tried to take a chunk out of someone?
Yes its the 3rd time and personally I dont think FIFA should have anything to do with it. Instead I think it should be the Brazilian police. Its a pretty serious issue and it is an assaultColour Scientist said:
Suarez is a disgrace, he wants banning from international football for this. It's the third time he's done this so he clearly hasn't learnt his lesson, not to mention all the other bullshit he's pulled over the years. The man clearly doesn't give even the slightest shit about sportsmanship and fair play.
On the plus side 'Chewy Luis and the Blues' was trending on Twitter earlier.

he must be banned surely?shootthebandit said:
however, Liverpool will LOVE big clubs backing off due to this!
Suarez is their/our main man.
yeah he is clearly not right but what a talent he is!
*sigh*
Of course Greece moves on. I hope you're ready for a boring 0-0 draw against Costa Rica.

If Liverpool had any dignity they would have got rid of him already, they haven't so they won't this time either. The number of Liverpool fans who were talking about how Suarez was a 'reformed character' or 'it's unfair to judge a man by his actions' this season.shootthebandit said:
The truth is football is too big with too many passionate people for anyone to want to not win. And there's bound to be some executives in Liverpool, or even Suarez himself, who'd be happy to slip FIFA a million or ten to keep him on the pitch. Think of the advertising revenue alone.
I bet there's not a team in the premiership who wouldn't sign him today if they had the chance. It's a frigging disgrace.
I'm still pissed off about how he single-handedly handballed Ghana out of the world cup and now Italy had to play with 10 men against a team who'd bitten one of their guys. If Suarez had been sent off, that's the main striker who then wouldn't have to be marked for the corner that led to the goal. He's robbed two teams of their world cup places in two world cups and he's bitten three people in four years. But the worst part is we're going to see just how corrupt and dishonourable the football organisations are as once again nothing of meaning happens.
Can't believe Greece got a penalty in the 90th minute and what's even more surprising is that Georgios "the donkey Jesus" Samaras put it in. Samaras is kind of lovable in the same way that a dog chasing its own tail is, A for effort D- for execution.
Rodriguez looks like he could be player of the tournament if Colombia get far enough. He'll probably get unfairly pipped to the post by Neymar though because Neymar(had a good game against Cameroon) is the "Golden Boy". If
Brazil win the WC or get to the final, Neymar wins player of the tournament.

Yeah, I think they have to give a serious penalty for it. I originally missed the clip that clearly shows the bite but it's pretty obvious now that he really bit Chiellini. I feel bad for the rest of the team though. They don't have a chance without Suarez. Not that they would have made it far with him either but now they are doomed for sure :/shootthebandit said:

What? Third time? I knew about one previous biting incident but it just blows my mind that this is the third time he does it. Plus, who bites people? I don't condone any kind of violence but at least I can understand when players shove each other/start throwing punches. Biting is just bizarre/creepy/gross.

Well, if you have to look for one positive side of the situation, the inevitable meme-photos fill that spot nicely.
Oh man, this World Cup is one of the most entertaining ones I've seen in ages. Big teams getting their asses handed to them, so many underdog countries doing so so well. Fans from said countries must be having the time of their lives. Tons of fun to watch those surprising matches, Costa Rica's win against Italy was an absolute hoot.
And of course, my own team's wins, the brave Dutchies, have been good too, if a little more...iffy. I'm not sure what they're trying to do, what I'm hoping is that their 'counter-football' is mostly to conserve energy for the upcoming matches. We'll see.
I'm a little more skeptical about my second favourite team, the Belgians. The surprising speed they showed in the qualifying matches seems to be gone, and they struggle against relatively weak teams. I'm still happy they're doing as well as they are but I can't see them getting very far if they keep playing like this.

He got done for biting PSV's Bakkal back in 2010 (2 match ban by his own club, and then another 5 by the Dutch FA)... then got whacked with a 10 game ban for biting Chelsea's Ivanovic in 2013... and now... by the previous trend, he should be banned for at least 17 games from Uruguay's schedule... -_- Which would delightfully equal: international career over...
Yeah, he has one HELL of a short fuse, and it seems to only be getting shorter as he ages...
Well fuck, there goes Japan. Shame, but Colombia was the superior team and certainly deserved the win. Japan just didn't play the way they did in 2010, instead of running the life out of their opponents they tried to play way too complicated. They should've stuck to the basics.
Italy's gone, and while I don't want to offend their fans, they deserved to be eliminated for trying to get a draw. You just can't do that, you have to go forward, not play defense for 90 minutes and just try to keep the ball out. It's a shit tactic and it rightfully bit them in the ass.

Apparently there's a chance Suarez may yet be sanctioned/expelled by FIFA in light of him tysoning another player's shoulder. Not gonna happen but oh well, here's hoping.
That's one of the weirdest things about it. People could be in the middle of a barfight and if someone bit them they'd still have a 'dude, what the heck is wrong with you?' moment.Uhura said:
Biting is something dogs do. If he didn't want to use his hands (any of the three times this has happened, I'm not letting that go
) whats wrong with the traditional headbutt?
I don't understand the big deal about the biting. It doesn't even look like he broke skin, but people are furious over it. Does he have herpes or something? I mean sure, he shouldn't be allowed to do that. He should have gotten a red card.
Play to your strengths. His strength is clearly his abnormally goofy teeth (I can say that because hes a dick)BrotherRool said:That's one of the weirdest things about it.

The problem with football is that footballers are NOT employees of the club. They are an asset, clubs pay big money for these players and they lose out of they get banned. Its not a case of banning a players penalises just that player. Footballers are like livestock, you have a bull youve spent a fortune on and it starts being aggressive. Do you want to kill it? No because its worth a lot of moneyJohnny Novgorod said:
It's more to do with the fact that he's a serial biter(three times) and he as been done in the past for racial abuse so he's a bit of a hate figure. The ref didn't see him do it and he couldn't take a player's word for it that's why he didn't get a card. At the end of the day biting is violent conduct and should be punished. Alex Song got a three match ban for an elbow to the back and yet people are calling for a 24 match ban for Suarez, it doesn't make any sense. There should be a standard punishment for all kinds of violent conduct, it's silly to judge on a case by case basis.manic_depressive13 said:
Hey? Shouldn't the individual circumstances be taken into account?Total LOLige said:
In any case...third time. Either you have to do something about him, or stop pretending to take this sort of thing seriously.
Well, I mean, there should be a universal system to decide the length of ban for violent conduct. Now they should split violent conduct into categories and increase the ban length as the actions increase in severity and risk of injury. Like a one match ban for spitting and "squaring up", three match ban for punching, kicking, headbutts, nibbles etc. Of course if the offence is severe enough(repeated kicks and punches, head stomps and the like) the length of ban should be decided on a case by case basis but there should still be a minimum ban for that offence that is increased depending on the circumstances. At the moment it's inconsistent and seems that UEFA, FIFA the FA etc make it up as they go along. It doesn't seem fair to ban Suarez for twenty four matches and Song for three simply because one is a repeat offender.thaluikhain said:
