It's interesting that in the case of spitting on an another player the FIFA disciplinary code requires a minimum of a 6 match suspension whereas the minimum is only 2 matches for assault (elbowing, kicking, etc.). There don't seem to be any mentions of biting:

I guess I don't have a problem with treating it more severely as long they're consistent about it.

Iran need Nigeria to lose. By more than 1 goal preferably. Assuming Iran at best win by one goal, can't see them doing more than that.

There was a spitting case last season, Hart the victim. The spitter didn't get 6 games. I guess the FA is different.

Bosnian player 'Edindzeko' also in German TV with inseparable name structure. Will probably never not notice it from now on.

It looked a bit like enyeama could get to it but kind of slowed down on his line at the last second like he lost his footing for a split second? Could be my stream making things look like that though.

i guess my mcdonalds ff team was so shit it wants me to sign up again and refuses to acknowledge me. great that i spent all that time trying to sign in through fb and then still having to sign up anyway to play a convoluted squad fantasy where you had to pick the 1m no hope iran players to afford anyone. well done fifa and your official sponser.
