WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

I dunno Brando, I really dunno.

I mean, undoubtedly, the guy is probably the best striker in the world at the moment and is excellent to watch when he is playing well.

But this is getting really really bad for himself and for Liverpool.

I am trying to imagine if someone like he was playing for Spurs, how would I feel. Obviously brilliant but man, he is dragging his reputation through the mud along with bringing an intense spotlight on the club he plays for. It's going to be another circus surrounding him over the summer and on.

The guy must have some mental issue related to biting, it's not possible otherwise...

You know it's world wide news when even Tuco who has no interest in soccer is talking about it.

Why no foul for Chiellini's clear shoulder hit into Suarez s mouth?!

Hopefully someone got a shot from the front angle.

There is another angle, but in that one it appears more like a headbutt. They never showed a third angle in the game AFAIK.



Chiellini has clear bite marks though, unless someone things he was previously bitten and Suarez happened to bite/butt that exact area purely at random.

An Italian player (#5) also gave Suarez a generous shove in the back about a minute before the bite, which could have given rise to his action. But that shove probably happens 20 times a game.

It really depends on whether FIFA issue an international or complete ban.

If it is international then that wouldn't really affect Liverpool as I can see Rodgers standing by him even with what he did. Your manager knows how important he is to the club so he will condemn his actions but still stick by him.

If it is a complete lengthy ban from football (i.e. 1 year+) then well, who knows.

This is the third time he has done it so are you confident he won't do it again?

Ban that fucker for 12 months.

Ban him, period. Forever. And ever. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Amen.


Seriously? Third time biting? Fuck that shit. He's a turd. You aren't allowed to do that in preschool, and you can get kicked out of preschool for that behaviour. If you're doing it as an adult, you're a waste of skin.

I get that biting is disgusting, but don't understand how people can think 10 games to year long bans are appropriate when career ending injuries, and even ones forcing players out for months still only get 3 matches. Especially from those perpetual hard men who do it over and over. Nigel de Jong kicks a player in the chest and gets a yellow card!

Oh man, I am having a strange sense of deja vu

Have we had this conversation before?

What would in your opinion justify a life long ban?

Match fixing, drug cheating.
Deliberately seriously injuring people. Roy Keane should have suffered a lifetime ban from football after he admitted as much.

Biting seems well down on the list of things done on the field that should be punished harshly, and anything beyond 5 - 10 matches seems excessive and out of proportion.

I think someone should knock all his teeth out... problem solved. In lieu of that, he should be suspended for the rest of the tournament, imo.

People have lashed out with their feet since the game began, its football so you're going to get kicked. You get elbows flying when people jump for headers. Occasionally someone loses it and throws a punch or a headbutt.

I don't recall anyone ever biting someone before Suarez.

*edit* surprising scores in the second set of games
