The cannibal has struck again! Chielini looks guilty of being too tasty, from Suarez's POV, and Suarez nips in (I'm fairly sure). No one saw it, so Suarez stays on. And Uruguay score. Godin header. And Italy is very likely going home.
I look at England and there is so little to suggest they will do anything anytime I really can't see the point in them being part of FIFA/UEFA. Just be like the NFL and create your own insular league declare yourself world champions.. We can have all kinds of idiotic rules that only we understand. It will suit our Little Islander mentality

The guys a complete looney! Do FIFA do retrospective punishment like the FA? He should be banned, bound in a straight-jacket, covered in fish paste and tipped into the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean. And I'm only saying that because I despise him.
I'm not sure what pisses me off more: Uruguay going through, the ref allowing them to get away with their constant thuggery - or the ITV commentators making excuses every single time they kicked, elbowed, or bit the Italians. Please, Columbia, do us a favour in the next round and send them packing.
It does leave a nasty taste in the mouth.................................................................... and I'm not talking about Chielini either.
I spent the last twenty minutes screaming at the commentators to stop defending the Uruguayans each and every time they cheated. I'm pretty sure they could've heard me, as it's obvious that ITV's commentary team aren't in Brazil - but certainly within the Travelcard zone.
The fish paste is a little OTT. Whatever will FIFA do? Uruguay scored a minute or less after Suarez had a bite of Italian. Unlike his previous instances of cannibalism, this one is no mystery. It seems cleverly designed to get his team through when they would not have made it otherwise. It was past the 80th minute. Chiellini and Italy can't have been focused on defending the corner.
FIFA ( I 'm sure there's a "**** all" hidden in that acronym somewhere!) are going to investigate the incident. I'm sure that Suarez is already ****ting himself at the prospect!....
Bottle from Samaras there. Not just a long haired ponce taking life easy in the SPL. Columbia continue to look good. I can't see Uruguay taking a chunk out of them. Possible chompions?
We're due FIFA completely overreacting to something, so on that basis alone Uruguay may be kicked out of the tournament. Deserved? Perhaps not. Funny if it did happen? Absolutely! Japan's tournament sounded familiar: took the lead against Ivory Coast only to throw it away in two minutes, overly cautious against Greece when they needed to win, then got battered by the Columbia reserves despite playing well. It's a microcosm of Spurs under Redknapp, AVB and Sherwood respectively!
The long haired ponce showed true backbone unlike our bunch of weak underachievers . Hellas have a resolve and inner strength that England are missing. Certainly a basic team on ability but rooted in the tradition of Leonadis and the 300.
Two pieces of good news for Liverpool fans: 1. They get to keep him. 2. http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images...03632169291/Italy-v-Uruguay-Group-D---008.jpg That's the cover of next year's media guide sorted! I wonder why he's holding his teeth if they didn't just make an impact with something...or will he try to pretend that he was the victim in an impact which photos show was caused by him moving his head into Chellini's back? For whatever reason, I find self-righteous denials more annoying than biting another human being, so I'm incensed by these comments, reported in the Guardain: "Suárez denied he had bitten Chiellini. “These situations happen on the field,” he said. “I had contact with his shoulder, chest against shoulder and I got a knock to the eye – nothing more.” *Funny you were holding your teeth, then.* Uruguay jumped to Suárez’s defence, with the non-playing captain Diego Lugano sensing conspiracy and accusing Chiellini of being a cry baby. He also suggested that the apparent bite mark on the Italian’s shoulder was an existing scar. “Did you see it [the bite] today or did you see what happened in other years?” Lugano said. “You couldn’t have seen it today because nothing happened. The worst of everything is the attitude of Chiellini. It doesn’t correspond with Italian football, crying and appealing against a rival. As a man he disappointed me totally. I had him as a reference point. You have to be stupid to think that mark on Chiellini is from today.” *So are you denying he bit him, or are you just muddying the waters?* Ãscar Tabárez, the Uruguay manager, lost his patience at the questions about Suárez and he lashed out at “certain media” for what he suggested was the targeting of the player. “This is a football World Cup, it’s not about morality, cheap morality,” Tabárez said. “As we say in Uruguay, there are people who are hiding behind a tree waiting for someone to make a mistake. Suárez, despite any mistakes he might have made, is the preferred target of certain media, *And which media is that, pray tell?* of certain press, who give him much more coverage for an alleged error he might have made rather than the things for which he is really in football.” *Again, are you denying he bit Chiellini, or just muddying the waters? Of course, it is reasonable to say that a player biting another player for the third time is no big deal, and is being blown out of proportion.*
