World Cup 2014

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

bear in mind I spent today off work after inappropriate contact at five a side last night

was that a work-related game of five a side because yr conduct policy probably covers social engagements too y'know

can see i spent the hour i managed to be at work for today usefully

sadly not

NV otm, not much worse than elbows etc., the punishment should be similar...

However given that behaviour was entirely within the cynicism taking place during the match -- Chiellini kept play acting -- I wouldn't ban him and allow him to play in what would be a terrific match against Colombia.

For Football's sake.

xyzzz's trolling otm this time

+z, can't sell you short

btw its not trolling. I didn't like Chiellini's behaviour. The match was always going to be bad tempered and cynical. Its all good and part of the game.

Amazing there was no brawl in the end although I think the Italian assistant was sent off.

six match ban for the bite would def leave a nasty taste in yr mouth, it all hinges on how chiellinis elbow is treated but that's a matter of a pinion

:D

are you suggesting when it comes to a decision that FIFA will just wing it? cause that wd be a choker

idk but too see him out of the next round would leave a lump in the throat, something to chew on and tough to swallow

masal bugduv, tbrr, with the teeth on him

Uruguay through by the skin of their teeth

trap(ezius) (take)out

TBH have rarely seen a footballer who was feeling himself as much as Suarez was in these three games, he's such a chronic masticator

don't think he should be punished for having a dental misorder

awes

not punishing him now surely introduces the possibility of eh the Belgians trying something similar

t would be a molar hazard

B+

TBH nothing is going to top Chewy Luis and the Blues, the New York Post should buy out that writer's contract immediately

fair

all UK tabloid subs super pissed off tonight on realising they could have used it wrt Ivanovic bite had they thought of it

the swiftness of its dropping tonite makes me wonder if the author had thought it up some time after Ivanovic and then their eyes lit up when he went in on Chiellini

bullshit man, bullshit. Suarez was in on it maaaan, this goes all the way to the top

lol I forgot that he also sucker punched that Chilean defender last year

tbh any kind of justice system where biting somebody gets punished more than this, I don't want to be part of it
