agreed.I'm sure if the skin was broken the Italian team's doctors would've put the fellow on a course of amoxi/clav right away. Standard procedure for any bite, really.

Suarez has large teeth.This thread is 40 pages. What are the highlights?
yeah, but still he mentioned rabies. Chances of having rabies are extremely low.why rude? if he has any kind of infection it is a concern.
Sad, bitter, Piers Morgan. Go away, you're not even amusing.Tweet

Very rude but I thought it was funny.
Just because it happened against Italy doesn't make it right either. Instead of making numerous excuses you could simply send him home.That's what I found absolutely hilarious about it all. The Italians complaining about underhand tactics... and the world rallying behind them. You couldn't make it up

genuinely spat out my coffee.There seems to be a few of you underestimating the ramifications of this. My friend works at a school just outside of Manchester and told me three stories about Liverpool "fans" in his school today.
================
No. 1 was a little young lad in year 7. He'd been supporting Liverpool this year because they play "well good and stuff". He supported Chelsea last year, but comes from a spoiled background and always changes his team. Well guess what. He's changed again. He apparently come in today in a full Man United strip. He said he "couldn't support a team with such abhorrent morals" and that "Suarez exemplifies a child not accustomed to getting his own way" So thanks Suarez, you've just boosted Man United's coffers by 100.00. At a conservative estimate, if one lad per school changes allegiances to United he'll have gained hundreds of thousands of pounds.
================
No. 2 was a bit older. Just about to start his GCSE's. He doesn't seem that interested in football, but apparently his Dad pushes him into it. His Father has often come to parents evenings in full Liverpool kit an threatened to "Knock out" anyone who claims Lucas isn't the best Brazillian player in the world. Once a little lad went around his house and he had a photo of Suarez hanging in the dining room, this is right after he bit Ivanovic. Well today it was boiling hot apparently yet his boy was the only one with his blazer on. My mate told him to take it off as he was sweating and apparently he looked ridiculous. Eventually he had taken it off to reveal his Dad had written "Suarez - 7" on his back in permanent marker. All of the other kids started laughing. Someone called him a "biting bastard". This lad was popular before and now apparently he's a social outcast. He isn't allowed to stop supporting Liverpool because of his Dad but as a result he's lost all his friends.
================
No. 3 is the worst. Lovely lad apparently, just finished year 10. Fantastic footballer. School captain and has played for both United and City reserves. Playing football today on the all weather he tried to get around a defender, got tackled and bit him. The other players played on as if it was normal, but the teacher on duty was shocked.
"What do you think you're doing lad?!?!"
"Sir it's ok, we all bite now. If Suarez can do it, why can't we"
Apparently all the other kids agreed. They all thought it was acceptable because Suarez had done it before and not got properly punished. "We only aren't racist because you're here Sir"
Well at this point the teacher was shocked and got the child to go inside. He had to phone home and suspend him. The boy couldn't believe he'd done anything wrong. He watched Suarez on MOTD and assumed it was ok in football. Rumours are he'll be expelled and have to go to a school down the road which specialises in expelled students. A whole life ruined.
===============
And this is from just ONE school. So yeah talk of a 4 match ban is ridiculous. He should be banned for the full 2 years.
Amazeballs. You should do stand-up.Dentist : Hey Suarez, Lets see how good is your teeth .
Suarez : With Pleasure !!
Den : Look at all that blood , your gum is bleeding ..
Suarez : Nah!! My gums are fine thats the blood of the last guys i bit ..
Den: ????
Its probably because of 1950 final and all, but as I said what that lawyer said is completely delusional.Brazil is afraid of us, they always are. We've beaten them with far worse teams.
You clearly haven't been to Brazil, or their Football Museum in SP. Well worth a visit, you will walk out and realise they are paranoid about two things: Uruguay and the French. The latter is more a cultured observation but they consider them their permanent bogey team while Uruguay is the one that captures the imagination of the masses (where the players emerge from).
The argument is flawed, mind
As for the bolded part I really dont know what are you talking about.You really really don't understand what little he had to work with in 2006. Where he has got us is a great achievement. Sorry it doesn't meet your tikitaka-meter, but it's what we can serve.
No, that Ghana press conference should have been a bit more about the enirety of the game, the achievement and the game to look forward to and not completely derailed by people screaming murder at the handball incident, as if the red and suspension for the next semi wasn't a huge punishment to pay for a non-existent free kick followed by two offsides before the handball.
Of course he will be pissed off when, after beating both England and Italy, against the odds, the first three questions he gets are in English and banging on about Suarez, again.
Get some perspective FFS, we have less than half the population of London, I can understand the man for being unhappy. You watch Brazilian TV here and they all find time for Suarez but also to repeat, endlessly, how shocking it is that a small country like that keeps getting itself in the mix and punching above their weight. That's a bit more balanced and fair, don't you think? It's not like it isn't a team sport and, frankly, it wasn't Suarez winning that yesterday, there were at least 4-5 players who played better than him.
Rawk told them it all Ollys fault.Reports are that the Uruguayan FA are going to claim nothing happened and it is all photoshop.
I don't know how they manage to walk with balls that big.
Suarez is clearly the victim of racist abuse by the English media.Yep, the questions were only from the British press and it's driving the Uruguayans crazy

Tabarez didnt say British press, he said he hadn't seen the incident but wasn't surprised to once again find "certain sections of the press waiting on the sidelines waiting to pounce on anything Suarez does".The British press have an agenda against Suarez.
The same British press that voted him their player of the year last year.
Come on, you are just arguing on semantics here.Tabarez didnt say British press, he said he hadn't seen the incident but wasn't surprised to once again find "certain sections of the press waiting on the sidelines waiting to pounce on anything Suarez does".
It was very much an "I'd rather talk football than entertain tabloid reporting questions" sort of reply.
I don't think you get banned for the break, that's kinda irrelevant. It's the tackle, you can break a leg in a fair challenge and nobody gets banned.You only get a three match ban for breaking a player's leg.
The overall point is that smashing a player's leg unfairly usually gets less punishment than is currently being touted for Ratboy.I don't think you get banned for the break, that's kinda irrelevant. It's the tackle, you can break a leg in a fair challenge and nobody gets banned.
Suarez receives bollocking for his antics (rightfully).This thread is 40 pages. What are the highlights?
Oh that press waiting for poor Suarez to do something just to gloat on it...Tabarez didnt say British press, he said he hadn't seen the incident but wasn't surprised to once again find "certain sections of the press waiting on the sidelines waiting to pounce on anything Suarez does".
It was very much an "I'd rather talk football than entertain tabloid reporting questions" sort of reply.
Maybe he should have had a look at the incident beforehand. Which I have no doubt he did.Tabarez didnt say British press, he said he hadn't seen the incident but wasn't surprised to once again find "certain sections of the press waiting on the sidelines waiting to pounce on anything Suarez does".
It was very much an "I'd rather talk football than entertain tabloid reporting questions" sort of reply.
I understand, that his coach or you dont want to talk about it, because its incredible embarrassing. You are caught between the devil and the deep blue see: You either have to throw your best player under the bus or excuse the inexcusable. Its a tough choice.Tabarez didnt say British press, he said he hadn't seen the incident but wasn't surprised to once again find "certain sections of the press waiting on the sidelines waiting to pounce on anything Suarez does".

Suarez receives bollocking for his antics (rightfully).
Chiellini claims in an interview for SKY Italia that FIFA will have no balls to ban Suarez.
FIFA pretend to want to do sth about it but apparently there are some elements missing.
Adidas (and some random poker company) held talks whether to continue their sponsorship deal with Suarez.
Uruguay and a few blokes on here claim the bite marks were photoshopped.
Some shithouse of an Uruguayan lawyer says it was casual play and that England, Italy and Brazil have an agenda towards Suarez and that Chiellini's elbow should also undergo investigation (Suarez had a black eye innit)
Finally antohan compares Suarez mental problems to Roy Keane's just because he was an aggresive player who took a revenge on Haaland.
Who was it that Sterling nearly knocked out. They played on. That shouldn't have been allowedI've been surprised that in each situation the victim has continued to play on. I always thought that a bite could lead to serious problems if not treated properly. When i was at school I remember 2 separate incidents, both relatively minor bites that didn't break the skin, where the victim was taken to hospital as a precaution.
Biting is a symbol of endearment in his culture. We're all just racists, you see.*dons tinfoil hat*
You all should forgive Suarez for his childish acts of biting... it's his way of showing a sign of affection! Look at him trying to do it to Gerrard!
FFS you might be right here*dons tinfoil hat*

aye, fixed.My quip about scouse having no antidote deserves a mention.
Would they get 3 matches if they had a history of wilfully breaking legs, surely if they admitted that they could be charged criminally. The idea that biting can be compared to kicking or poor tackling on a football pitch escapes me. We've all kicked and been kicked.The overall point is that smashing a player's leg unfairly usually gets less punishment than is currently being touted for Ratboy.
