I have to agree with Titus - in nearly 50 years of watching football, I cannot think of any player who has been a worse disgrace to our game than Luis Suarez. I've seen them all, and he is the very worst. Off with his head.

Naw, just watching the build up to the next pair of matches.
RAWK claim Chiellini dug his fingernails into his own shoulder.....
Yes.
"He made me grow as a person"......
He's actually, somehow made Barton look like some sort of an acceptable human, almost.
The Invalid Link Removedseems to be in agreement that there is no defense for his actions. I've made excuses for his diving (it's a chronic problem in the sport, and Italy made their share of dives today as well) and I made excuses for the Ivanovic bite, but I can't keep defending this guy anymore. I hope he never puts on a LFC kit again.
Anyway, on a different topic, I'm really pleased to see Italy coming back across the pond with nothing at all. If we have to suffer it, and Spain have to suffer it, then it's nice to be able to take the azzuri along for the flight too.
Ha. Schadenfreude. Sorry cheeze.

I remember the Leeds side of the early 70s - Hunter, Bremner and the like. None of them were even close to Suarez in terms of their behaviour ("Dirty Leeds"), and they're widely regarded as the worst example of this sort of stuff ever to spoil the image of the game.
See, if you guys would just hand out, say, yellow cards for fighting, this Suarez nonsense would have been taken care of years ago.
Graeme Souness, Mark Dennis, Tommy Smith, Pat Van Den Hauwe...all hard players with heavy, occasionally nasty tackles in their lockers, but you'd never in a million years see any of them biting - 3 times.
I bet the lfc PR machine are working overtime tonight.

This is from ESPN's website:
If Luis Suarez is suspended, how long should his ban be?

- 41% Rest of the World Cup
- 11% Remainder of 2014
- 21% One year
- 26% Lifetime
Rest of the World Cup would only be 1 to 4 games.
Granted, fairly large impact on the team, but he as a player needs a greater personal punishment. Heck, his foul play in 2010 stopped Ghana (IIRC?) from proceeding past the group stages.

Rest of World Cup is most likely one game. A Suarez-less Uruguay would be toothless against Colombia.
I've been on catchup due to circumstances so was out of the discussion for obvious reasons.
Can't add anything that's not been said already, this lunatic scumbag has disgraced his clubs in the past and now does it to his country.
I can't see how he can possibly get a lesser punishment than Eric Cantona - he had a rush of blood in the face of vile provocation. This louse has now done this three times - he obviously has mental issues in this regard.
Given his history he should be banned from domestic football anywhere for the entire '14 -'15 season and banned from International competition for 2 full years.
He should also have to undergo psychiatric assessment and treatment and his return should be dependent on psychiatric recommendation.
Someone who thinks he can continue doing these things, knowing that he will be caught and punished and that his behavioir is utterly abhorrent, needs treatment. He is a danger to others on and off the football field.
And in that I am trying to be as objective as possible given my past comments on the little scumbag.
