bite marks look like the same shop from every angle

tabloids gonna tabloid, im not convinced. we'll find out in a while.

Still in the denial phase huh

 

[AstroLad]

Which pisses me off because their World Cup coverage has been fantastic.

Oh well time to stop watching espn after this then.

I honestly don't think it will affect their WC coverage much. Maybe less baseball on Sportscenter (woohoo!), and NBA Draft will definitely take a hit. They have every interest in hyping this WC and USA angle is playing out pretty perfectly for them.

So much denial... how is this even possible?

 

[Herr K]

Abete, the FIGC president is also resigning.

 

[Nerokis]

On what planet could Uruguay knock out Columbia? Even with beaver mcdracula not* suspended?

You apparently think more highly of the Colombian soccer team than I do, even though you apparently don't know how to spell the country's name.

 

[artist]

Still in the denial phase huh

Is it better than deflection? (from Italy's loss to the bite saga?)

 

[Salsa]

I could care less about the bite marks: he did what he did

for the umpteenth time: im not defending him and im from Uruguay

 

[Talon]

Uruguay manager Oscar Tabarez says he will see how he can defend Suarez. "This is a football World Cup, not about morality."

Tabarez just made a long defense of Suarez, including lashing out at media for targeting him. One journalist clapped afterward.

Uruguay coach suggesting questions about Suarez bite are because he's the `` the preferred target of certain media.''

It's not the morality World Cup lads.

LMAO

That spin.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Italy-GAF, are you ready?

 

[Tecl0n]

So, can anyone tell me what Uruguay commentators/fans saying about Suarez's bite. Are they praising him as a hero like in 2010, indicating that in your eyes, he can do no wrong? Or do you actually have standards and are condemning him for it?

In 2010 the illegal action he performed was sanctioned while in the game. So i don't see how it's a comparable situation.

is greece still alive?

Reuters is not a tabloid. It's an international news agency. Sorry mate, the bite marks are real.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Salsa's mental gymnastics are hilarious. First he says I'm not defending Suarez he's an asshole and then he says he's a victim of being a tabloid target. Then he questions whether a bite happened at all, saying he only believes it was a headbutt.

Come. the fuck. on. He bit the guy, nobody forced him to do it. Accept it.

Wtf dude. I have seen it LIVE when they zoomed in on his shoulder. The marks are real.

Was photoshopped live m8.

 

[Empty]

So Reuters is a tabloid now?

you just don't understand how deep the media conspiracy against poor suarez goes

 

[Acorn]

I thought the Iraqi general was executed, apparently he now lives in Uruguay and has a gaf account.

 

[Wanchan]

Yes, there were bite marks.

How can you bite someone with only your upper teeth tho? Also seeing the teeth mark, his mouth is fucking huge....anyway looks fishy to me, i guess what happened was that the italian player hit his shoulder in Suarez teeth, there was never a biting attempt.

 

[Kikujiro]

For the umpteenth time: You are.

Reuters is a tabloid guys!

jeez this is not what he did at all

dude got asked questions about Suarez 10 times and said he already answered them plenty. There was no flip, just that he couldnt comment without having seen the footage.

Chiellini deserved a red card for hitting Suarez teeth with his bite marks.

 

[kamorra]

So he did bite him and deserves to be punished for?

 

[aronnov reborn]

Yes.. they beat ivory coast and Columbia beat/draw japan they're in.

Those were left by his bottom row of teeth. Bite came from behind.

 

[Kiever Sher]

Knew I should've bet a few bucks on a Suarez bite

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Also, anyone against giving .5 UEFA slots to Oceania should be banned from football.

why should they even have a slot at all.

I honestly don't think it will affect their WC coverage much. Maybe less baseball on Sportscenter (woohoo!), and NBA Draft will definitely take a hit. They have every interest in hyping this WC and USA angle is playing out pretty perfectly for them.

Oh I know, I just used to like watching sports center and espn but the constant fellating of lebron is tiring so I won't be watching after the world cup.

Spoiler

NBA is the worst fucking league

Lol did you even watch it? Suarez moved into him, not the other way around. And just because no lower teeth marks shows doesn't mean it's impossible or they have not been used. On top of that, i think i see a lower mark.

 

[Xater]

The slo-mo they just showed here in Germany showed that be bit quite low and used mainly his upper teeth. Hope you guys get to see that as well.

 

[Arksy]

So what does GAF reckon, did Machisio deserve a red card for his kick? Or would a yellow have been more than enough?

 

[Lkr]

Yes.. they beat ivory coast and columbia beat japan they're in.

ok, nate silver's site sucks with scenarios. i want to see greece advance because it would be funny

Hi, i'm dumb.

[inky]

social media blows up if Suarez farts after eating a sandwich

not saying he's not being an asshole, but he has the biggest tabloid target on his back, no need to make decisions based on that

LOL

Oh Salsa... at minimum he's out of the Cup. Just stahp pls.

 

[YianGaruga]

What is the origin of the pic without marks? Is it more credible than reuters?
Suarez is a piece of shit and he definitely tried to bite, but I'm interested in who is really lying here.

 

[Salsa]

So he did bite him and deserves to be punished for?

I think if you open up the can of worms that is banning players after the fact you'd get a whole bunch of different WC outcomes with people complaining from all sides possible. All im saying.

Should have been called on the field? YES, as any other foul play. What happens now is beyond the point im making about this match.

 

[Ros8105]

great headline

lol

 

[MutFox]

Looks like a birthmark...

 

[sestrugen]

This is the weakest attacking Uruguay team in history. What on earth happened to Cavanni? Lavezzi devolved into a sub. And Suarez can't stop biting people and will probably not play. I'll take a perma ban if Columbia doesn't beat them by 2 points. Quote me on this.

stahp

 

[Kensuke]

not uruguayan but I still can't believe the salt over the 2010. The guy got a red card (e.g. was PUNISHED) by the handball. The Ghana player missed the penalty after that. Had he scored, nobody would've given a shit about the handball. There's a difference between that and biting somebody.

I actually praised him for the handball. Not a shameful action at all. As you say, biting is a completely different issue.

 

[Arjen]

So what does GAF reckon, did Machisio deserve a red card for his kick? Or would a yellow have been more than enough?

Red, kicked to injur a player.

 

[Lkr]

if Suarez doesn't even get a warning for biting someone, Machisio doesn't deserve a red lmao

Now I'm really dead. This is too much.

 

[The Cowboy]

The slo-mo they just showed here in Germany showed that be bit quite low and used mainly his upper teeth. Hope you guys get to see that as well.

The BBC just showed it and its clear as day, he did bite him. What's more shocking is the other bite he did in another match (didn't catch which it was) that looked like he was actually trying to eat the other player, how on earth was he not banned already?.
