Uruguay do just enough. Proper world cup match. Godin shoulders the burden, Waitrose are selling a Tannat / Merlot at 25% off. Suarez up to his old tricks. Marvellous stuff.

Be interesting to see how FIFA deal with Suarez, talent or not, that was unacceptable and if I was chiellini id have dropped the elbow on him too.

Well, that's made me firmly 'anyone but Uruguay' for the rest of the tournament. They've got lucky on a couple of occasions now and for all his talent Suarez just becomes a more odious individual with each match.

I'd expect my centre half to niggle at Suarez too, it's called defending. And Suarez can dish it back but biting is as low as spitting. He knew as he walked off at the end what he'd done. Dirty in my book and deserves the book throwing at him.

Total ban from the rest of the world cup and maybe a fifa 10 game ban domestic and international. Wonder what Brendan Rogers will think of all this.

I imagine something along the lines of "how much can I still get Barca or Real to fork out after this?" What a nutter. And what's with the biting? If you've had enough of getting battered by a central defender for 85 minutes, what's wrong with the traditional studs down the calf or elbow in the ribs? Why does he have to go all cannibalistic-when-did-I-get-my-last-tetanus-shot krazy over and over?

If you read interviews with him and people who know him he comes across as an OK sort of guy. It's just that moment when he snaps, you can see the exact point when he loses control. The guy needs some sort of therapy, in my non-professional view.

something tells me that Fifa will only give him a fine. they will come up with some rubbish excuse of "not enough evidence".
this is fifa we're talking about, they revolve around money. Suarez pulls in viewers, they dont want to do anything to stop that

Suarez pulls in viewers, they dont want to do anything to stop that With the pressure FIFA are under, I think they will act and ban Suarez. We all saw what happened, probably a billion people across the world did too. On such a big stage, and for the fear of looking weak and only interested in money and viewing figures, I think they will give Suarez a big ban.

FIFA cannot do anything but ban Suarez. The evidence is clear and it's not easy to brush under the carpet in such a key game.
If they let it go, it opens the door up later in the tournament. What's to stop him doing it again in the final?

lets just remind ourselves who we're talking about. this is FIFA. its all about the money to them. it really wouldnt surprise me if Suarez only got a fine. im not saying thats what i would do or thats the right thing to do but again this is fifa we're talking about.
using the words "doing the right thing", "morals" and Fifa in the same sentence seem very strange.
with everything going on at the moment id like to think they have changed but something tells me nothing will change at all.
If they do ban him, he will get a ban from international games (so kicked out the world cup) for maybe 15 games, so will be playing for Liverpool in their first game of the season (baring injury)

if he doesnt get banned, as Uraguay will play Colombia, there's a chance he could chew Bacca.

Easiest thing is to kick his teeth out !
If our defenders had done what Chiellini did and got stuck into Suarez from the off, especially testing his dodgy knee, we'd probably have got out of the group.

After all the sh ite, there's a sensible article on the La Celeste blog. As a serial Uruguay follower, a part of it sums up my feelings, and probably quite a few of the Uruguayans, too. It also shows the first conclusive footage of the bite. Throw Saurez out of the tournament and get him some help, maybe a ban till he's faced whatever it is that's broken in him. Still hoping that La Celeste can scrape through against Colombia and then fu ck up Brasil's party; but, even if they do (which I doubt) it won't be as much fun now. PS - At my first post yesterday I didn't believe he'd bitten Chiellini; not quite.

He should be muzzled for premiership games and be banned from the world stage. Children will now get the message they can bite their opponents because their idol has done it three times

Children will now get the message they can bite their opponents because their idol has done it three times "banned from the world stage" really ? Did he finish Chiellini's career? Did he finish Ivanovic's career? No,well Roy Keane finished Alf-Inge Haalands career with a deliberate over the top leg breaking tackle. ITV condemn Suarez,while they pay Keane mega bucks to talk football and kiss his arse. Clubs/countries employ him as a manager. So are ITV giving out the "message to children" that its fine to go on a pitch and break someones leg? Are clubs like Sunderland and countries like Ireland giving out "the message to children" that break someones leg and we will make you our manager? Yes its childish to bite someone,yes he deserves a ban,but "banned from the world Stage"? "Muzzled"? I think the human rights lawyers would have a field day with that one. Besides without Suarez,who are the premier league fans going to boo next season?

Besides without Suarez,who are the premier league fans going to boo next season? I agree with you. Why should someone who repeatedly bites get a longer ban than someone who repeatedly tries to injure an opponent in any other way? Footballers behave in all kinds of offensive ways, swearing at referees, shouting abuse in their faces, diving, trying to con their opponents. The reaction to Suarez is because biting is such an odd thing to do. None of the 3 players he bit suffered any long term effects. They continued the games, didn't suffer any long term injury. But some are saying ban him for life. Over-reaction? Just a bit.

jokes aside. im my opinion this is being made a way big of a deal then it is. Footballers have done a LOT worse on and off the pitch.
It's a strange and stupid thing to do but again a lot worse has been done. He probably does have a few things he needs to talk to someone about.
it seems that people think that its worse then deliberately elbowing someone in the head, cheating and match fixing.
i couldnt help but laugh when i heard it compared to Cantona kung fu kick.
15 match ban(international) but only because the FA game him a 10 match ban

But some are saying ban him for life. Over-reaction? Just a bit. He's a repeat offender - that's why there's such an outcry. You can dismiss a one-off incident as an oddity. Three identical incidents is a pattern of behaviour. He did it once, got banned, moved clubs. Did it a second time, got banned, had some counselling. He's had it explained to him a million and one ways - by his manager and teammates, the fans, the media (especially the media) - that biting an opponent is viewed as unacceptable behaviour, for which there will be serious repercussions. And yet he's gone and done it again anyway on the biggest stage there is in football. Now I do feel sorry for the guy. He clearly has some pretty deep-rooted psychological problems. He needs help. Serious, professional help. But I'm really not sure I want to be watching him in the Premiership next season, getting constantly heckled while waiting for him to explode again. It will be grotesque theatre that won't really do anyone any good. In the meantime, FIFA need to do the right thing and make sure that he doesn't play again this tournament (as they should with anyone who commits any act of wanton violence, whatever it is). Without him, Uruguay are going to get mullered by Colombia because they're genuinely not very good (whilst Colombia are, and look like a genuine threat to Brazil. Should they make it past Chile).
