Suarez seriously bit a person at the World Cup?

I mean that can't be true. I have to find the video. Can a person really be that stupid?

Uruguay won't kick him off. This is who he is and Uruguay knows they need him to win.

But FIFA should suspend him for at least their round of 16 game.

At least their round of 16 game? Are you kidding me?

He bit someone

If it is determined that Suarez did indeed bite Chiellini -- and current replays weren't entirely conclusive -- FIFA will no doubt come down hard on the Liverpool striker. The Italian defender was certainly in no doubt as to what happened, telling Sky Italia:

"Suarez is a sneak and he gets away with it because FIFA want their stars to play in the World Cup. I'd love to see if they have the courage to use video evidence against him. The referee saw the bite mark too, but he did nothing about it."

It's possible that Chellini had some pasta sauce on his neck that was too irresistible not to taste.

The funniest Suarez shop I've seen so far...

The big worry for the United States men's national team is that the physical and mental fatigue of the 2-2 draw against Portugal will be too much to overcome Germany.

The U.S. and Portugal played in Manaus — an oppressively hot, humid outpost in a remote part of the Amazon.

In this World Cup, the four teams who have played there (Italy, England, Croatia, Cameroon) have all gotten destroyed once they left.

They all lost their next games, and went 0-1-5 in tournament games overall after playing in Manaus.

Is there a betting service where I can fade this number and get 3-1+ that we don't go through?

In Vegas do they have real time odds on moving on to the knockout rounds?

With an unrepentant person biter terrorizing World Cup matches, FIFA has reportedly also found time to launch an investigation into Neymar's underpants.

If there's one thing that the governing body cares above all else, it's the protection of its high-paying sponsors' exclusivity. After all, you don't become a non-profit organization with a rainy day fund of $1.4 billion in cash by being concerned with players biting each other. You do it by making sure players don't have underpants made by non-FIFA sponsors peeking out of their shorts.

According to UOL, the underwear alarm went off at FIFA headquarters when Neymar's were partially exposed after he swapped shirts following Brazil's 4-1 win over Cameroon. And if you think that this is all a big joke, consider that Denmark's Nicklas Bendtner was fined €100,000 ($125,797) by UEFA (European football's governing body) when he celebrated a goal by lifting up his shirt to reveal the name of a betting firm on the waistband of his underpants at Euro 2012. For the sake of comparison, the Croatian federation was fined less for its fans' combination of racial abuse aimed at opposing players and flare throwing at the same tournament.

The first match of this suspension is to be served in the upcoming FIFA World Cup™ fixture between Colombia and Uruguay on 28 June 2014.

· The player Luis Suárez is ordered to pay a fine in the amount of CHF 100,000.

The decision was notified to the player and the Uruguayan FA today.

“Such behaviour cannot be tolerated on any football pitch, and in particular not at a FIFA World Cup when the eyes of millions of people are on the stars on the field. The Disciplinary Committee took into account all the factors of the case and the degree of Mr Suárez’s guilt in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Code. The decision comes into force as soon it is communicated,” said Claudio Sulser, chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee.
