Luis Suarez bites Italian defender at the World Cup, Uruguay advances

On the world’s biggest stage with his team facing elimination, Uruguay’s Luis Suarez bit an opponent at the World Cup. Suarez, who earned a 10-match ban in 2013 for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic, bit Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini late into Uruguay’s final group game. Suarez also earned a seven-match ban in 2010 for biting a player in the Eredivisie.

Wayne Rooney: England are too nice to win World Cup, we need to develop 'nastiness' in way we play


Rooney said England might have to become more cynical to win the World Cup. “I think you look at teams who have won the tournament over previous years and you can see that nastiness in them,” he explained.
“I think we need to get that in us. Maybe we’re too honest, I feel, as a team. So I think, in terms of Uruguay the other night, they stopped the game, they committed I don’t know how many fouls.
“Clever fouls, really, to slow the game down. I think we’re a bit honest in terms of the way we play. You see players surrounding the referees — I’m not saying Uruguay did that — but I’m the same now. I want to win the game.
“I got kicked 10 times and I don’t think there was a yellow card given to an opponent. We try and be honest, but maybe that’s a fault of ours.

1. Psycho needs to be banned. Permanently.

Either that or charged with assault. But giving him short-term bans doesn't seem to have gotten through to Jaws that his actions are simply not acceptable.

2. I agree, banned from any sanctioned soccer match

Banned from playing for his own country and the premier league. They had Hollyfield on CNN talking about it and said that shouldn't be happening in sports. I heard this was like the third time it's happened and the second time this season.

It looks like FIFA will investigate it, but I wouldn't hold my breath on anything becoming of it.

8. No mention of what happens when he does it again...as he invariably will...

...the only thing that i can think of to stop this fucking menace is criminal charges...it is clear that the regulatory bodies aren't willing to drop the hammer hard enough...

10. Apparently this is being appealed.

Hopefully that will result in the appeal being chucked out and Suarez being given an even longer ban.

I certainly can't see how Suarez or the Uruguayan FA think they can win an appeal on this one.

11. When it comes to Suarez, they are absolute nutters

to borrow a term...Uruguayan FA said the bite-mark pics were photoshopped...

12. International conspiracy against Uruguay exposed

http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/sport/sport-headlines/international-conspiracy-against-uruguay-exposed-2014062788039

A DECADES-LONG conspiracy to discredit Uruguay and their star player Luis Suarez has been revealed. The multi-billion operation, involving body doubles, faked footage and carried out with the full cooperation of media organisations across the globe, was co-ordinated by MI6, the CIA, and Mossad under the direct control of David Cameron and Barack Obama.

Uruguayan President Jose Mujica said: “1994, and George Lucas begins work on Star Wars prequel The Phantom Menace.

“Why? Not because anyone wanted to see it, but in order to develop the CGI techniques that, 20 years later, would be used to fool the world into thinking they had seen Luis Suarez actually biting a man on a football pitch.

“The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were a smokescreen, funnelling billions into the ongoing program to discredit our country’s hero and stop Uruguay replacing the dollar with cattle as the reserve currency.”

3. Biting in sports? It happens, more than you think

4. Story of violence and deceit

"More likely, it is deeper than that. Toddlers bite. Dogs bite. Normal, fully functioning adults don’t. When it is part of a long, unending pattern, that is when it looks pathological and the perpetrator needs professional help. We can all play at amateur psychology but the evidence here points to someone who is incapable sometimes of processing the things that threaten his ability to win, or score goals, as a normal act of his sport. Suárez takes it as a personal affront, maybe even an act of aggression.

The problem – or one of the problems – is that he is so heavily indulged it actually feels like he has started to believe what he says about it all being the imagination of others. If there is one person around him telling him he needs time with Dr Steve Peters, the psychiatrist at Anfield, we can be sure there are another 100 or so saying he is absolutely fine, and that it is the rest of the world with the problem."
