Has Suarez done it again?

You have to understand that in the "modern game" they will do anything to gain an advantage. You can bet a penny to a pound that the Italian players and anyone playing Uruguay would all try to turn any clash with Suarez into a biting incident given half a chance....and would have been prepped to do so. OK, so this was a biting incident but without the benefit of replays he probably saw it as an attempt to get Uruguay's best player sent off.

Perhaps in hindsight being sent off might've been the better option... As FIFA could've deemed incident as having been dealt with... But as you rightly say players wouldn't of had the benefit of replays...

I read that if he gets an internationals only ban it could actually increase his tag up, as he'll be available more, won't be as tired from travelling and won't be getting injured whilst away. Thus making him more attractive to a big club.

Perhaps a lengthy ban from the CL and its equivalents might be a better option...

Pretty sure you cant ban across different competitions....if you're red carded in a league game or international that ban doesn't carry across to the other competition.
 
I must be the only person who thinks 'meh'.

It wasn't big or clever. But in the same game we saw an Italian go studs in to an Uruguayan's knee which could have caused him some severe damage. We see players from most nations feigning injury and rolling round like they've been shot.

Plus the ruling body is either spectacularly incompetent in that they would award it's major football tournament to a country the size of East Anglia with no footballing tradition in which players could feasibly do themselves severe damage, may be even die, if the matches are played there when the tournament usually takes place. Or they are corrupt. And they are more than happy to try and play the race card, accusing the British press of being racist for exposing their corruption, but then have a very poor track record of tackling racism at football grounds, especially in parts of Europe.

So in the grand scheme of what is wrong with football, some chap with issues biting someone is nothing I can get too worked up about. I'd much rather see FIFA reconstituted than Suarez being banned.
