World Cup 2014

if it's Greece, good lord

if it's Greece, I will be enthused tbh

FIFA should be even open about its corruption and just put ivory coast through anyway

nah not really. mexico are beautiful

Danny Mills just said playing Greece would have been a bye to the next round before Lineker told him to can it.

if suarez gets suspended they should boot uruguay and put one of the african teams thru

executive order from sepp blatter

All-african superteam, why not.

Columbia were great to watch, there.

ffs Luis

lol at lineker's quizzical specs

ok genuine question: do you guys think that greece should've been awarded a penalty there or was it too light of a foul?

was a clear penalty tbf

Saw a tinge of embarrassment from Lineker as he pulled the glasses out.

It was a pen.

Greece also hit the crossbar twice.

greece really, really deserved that one

so a team out of holland/greece/mexico/costa rica in the semi final

Wait, does that mean the four South American teams will put each other out?

not a pen. The defender's leg is there and Samaras hooks his leg onto it. If anything it was a free out

fella on my fb re Suarez: innocent til proven guilty. we still live in a democracy.

one man one bite

Fucking love James Rodriguez

moral thundering about suarez is gonna be so tedious

nah even my Dad cdn't work himself up to outrage he was too busy laughing

RAWK on Suarez bite is a hoot.

i mean he can't complain if he gets a 6 month ban but nobody's really vexed about it

40 acres and a tooth

Pen does look a bit more ambiguous in slow motion. Still think there is obstruction.

Nightmare if there was anything like video reviews for that.

I have lolz and thank him for the incident

but if the usual suspects are gonna actually claim no bite here then we will genuinely have to start looking at euthanizing fuckers

it was a softish pen but i don't think anybody's been robbed except football fans

Greece played the better football in that game though

Somehow whatever happens in world football, Greece remain the same. Really feeling for CIV but they should have had Bony on from the start. And not been so suicidally attacking near the end.

tbf they knew they had to win in open play

xp

Ivory Coast defend like crap for the 1st goal so no sympathy.

Greece are thrash - showed less than nothing for most of that group. Hope Costa Rica go through.

For Football's sake.

or IC were appalling for that 1st

Poor Costa Rica, expecting all that glamour and having to play England and Greece back to back.

Suarez on Uruguayan telly:

"(The bite) are things that just happen in the box. Chielini touched me with his shoulder, which also isn't very nice."

Literally? Yes, literally.

Luis is correct in many ways about the double standards re: violence in football, and yet surely by now he's worked out what happens when he bites somebody

comfort eating he probably doesn't even remember going to the fridge

I'd be happy for him to redeem himself in the usual way, please

I agree, but Suarez isn't the spokesman for Double Standards Inc. Not after tonight. That is one debate he should make a pass on.

Xxp

I'd be happy for him to redeem himself in the usual way, please

what, you want him to score a hatful for Real once he's unbanned in November?

big aul chomp out've yerman, probably thinking about his plans for Sunday if its nice, or maybe reading TV times, realises its a fuckin human being ah tits not again, coffee cup falls to ground in slo mo to reveal DONT BITE ANYONE YOU FUCKING LOOPER just another day out around the penalty spot for luis

Perhaps the continued biting campaign is a noble crusade to expose these double standards?

xp then pick up the kids on the way home

Nasty, but I would love to get to the Freudian bottom of his behavior. Three strikes/bites = out. Shit is pathological. Did he not get to suck the teet enough? Is it Oedipus complex? The possible psychological deranged reasons for Suarez' behavior are endless.

nobody's defending the boy's dining habits but the outrage this shit invokes compared to dudes who've made careers out of casually elbowing faces/trying to snap legs is out of all proportion to the relative damage done. yeah but biting is really really bad i know! but y'know weird acceptable/unacceptable aggressions

he does other stuff too

there's constructive ways of bringing attn to inappropriate contact in yr place of work, and biting may well be a suitable response in some cases, I just ain't sure that for Luis Suarez in 2014 its the option to go for

fair and measured
