great headline

Ahahahahahhahahahahhaha. Headline of the year.

 

[krishian]

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.

Lavezzi?

 

[$200]

That was quick.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

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.

I don't know if you were aware but punishing players after the fact has happened plenty of times before.

This is just embarassing

 

[Salsa]

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

yeah you are, you just got taken out

 

[PsychoSoldier]

I wish I could be more outraged about Suarez but I'm way more happy that Italy's no longer in the tournament.

Oh well.

 

[Fox318]

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

juajua

You know nothing. Post match banning has been a thing forever if the referee hasn't seen it.

In every single league in the world, for at least the last 10-15 years.

 

[Raist]

Heh, Valderrama on BBC.

 

[Baleoce]

great headline

that is fucking genius.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

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

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'll admit it is a different situation, but that's not what i'm asking about. What I am asking about is if the Uruguayan media and it's fans are going to ignore this incident or if they are going to be like everyone else and criticize him for it.

 

[Az]

Tabarez posts on GAF. Great.

 

[Irminsul]

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

That's because the ref didn't see it, not because he didn't do anything about it.

 

[kamorra]

yeah you are, you just got taken out

Enjoy your stay, you guys are great. Blatter agrees.

 

[Haunted]

wowowow

 

[Wanchan]

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

Oh, now i can totally see this, nevermind me then.

I didn't watch the match, came back from work, saw the pics, will watch tho cause this is disgusting.

when did I say I was not aware? I just think it's a can of worms and that FIFA and any league is very delicate about it.

Soccer rules are shit in many aspects and many things need to change. No one's denying that.

 

[AstroLad]

Disgraceful that someone on GAF didn't think of "Chewy Luis" first.

 

[Arksy]

Also, who was the staff guy from Italy's side that got sent off by the Ref? What happened there?

 

[Buzzati]

Lavezzi?

I'm retarded. nevermind.

Banning players after a match is part of the rules. The referee will be asked if he saw it and made the decision not to do anything. If he says yes, nothing happens. If he says he DID NOT see it and thus made no decision either way, there can be a ban after the match.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Today is the day.

Will Shinji fade into irrelevancy?

Or will he break his cursed fate and escape the terror of Moyesus?

Pfff. Are you trying to pull a David Hayter "I'm not in Metal Gear 5, true story" or something?

Perma me if Columbia doesn't win 5-0, with every single goal being preceded by a front flip over a defending player.

 

[Judderman]

bite marks look like the same shop from every angle

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

Are you fucking dense?

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

Like ball bearings, got it.

So let's say if someone knocks someone in a coma but the ref doesn't make the call, you can't punish the player later?

Go home Salsa, you're drunk.

 

[Kurtofan]

Suarez is a total loon

 

[Salsa]

regardless of anyone's opinion on the banning matter I just honestly think it won't happen, which is what im saying.

never said it should or shouldnt

Why not just come out and say you think Suarez should be suspended. You know deep in your heart it's true but you don't want to because your team needs him and you don't want to lose.

But in any other situation you know what you would be thinking and saying.

 

[Buzzati]

Pfff. Are you trying to pull a David Hayter "I'm not in Metal Gear 5, true story" or something?

Permaban me if I mix up an Argentinian with a Uruguayan.

 

[Sickboy007]

Totti was disqualified for three games after getting caught on tv spitting on Poulsen. Not banning Suarez would be ridiculous.

 

[figadapaura]

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

there is a reason for this, you know?

 

[TrumanBurbank]

I hate Suarez so much.

 

[LNBL]

HAHA wtf? Did that ref really ask for Robben's shirt?

 

[Doomshine]

Perma me if Columbia doesn't win 5-0, with every single goal being preceded by a front flip over a defending player.

oh boy.

The "can of worms" was already open, Tassoti was suspended by FIFA after the match because he was violent against Luis Enrique. That was in WC 1994.

Actions have been taken before m8.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

If it doesn't happen the other players should boycott until he is disciplined. Who the fuck wants to play against a guy who could bite them and get away with it? What kind of precedent is that setting since you're so damn interested in precedents and slippery slopes.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

HAHA wtf? Did that ref really ask for Robben's shirt?

Well he is the best player currently in the tournament

 

[CoolOff]

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

It's a red. The ball is on the ground, close to him, and he instead puts the studs up into the knee of another player.

Clear red.

 

[Salsa]

Why not just come out and say you think Suarez should be suspended. You know deep in your heart it's true but you don't want to because your team needs him and you don't want to lose.

But in any other situation you know what you would be thinking and saying.

Not really. I honestly don't have a strong opinion on the matter. If it happens i'll be bummed for what it means for our chances, but i'll understand it.

 

[bud]

how is it opening a can of worms when a player who bites someone for the third time in his career--as far as we know--gets a post-match ban because the referee didn't see anything?

 

[Arksy]

I'm glad Italy is out, but damn Suarez needs to go.

 

[ReadingRambo]

regardless of anyone's opinion on the banning matter I just honestly think it won't happen, which is what im saying.

Delusional

 

[alfredofroylan]

Even the President of the Italian Football Federation has resigned

beIN SPORTS ‏@beINSPORTSUSA 6m
BREAKING! Cesare Prandelli & President of the Italian Football Federation, Giancarlo Abete both resign from their positions. More to follow.

 

[krishian]

regardless of anyone's opinion on the banning matter I just honestly think it won't happen, which is what im saying.

never said it should or shouldnt

Oh, it'll definitely happen, I'm just worried FIFA come up with some "we'll look at the incident after the WC" crap.

 

[Scotch]

regardless of anyone's opinion on the banning matter I just honestly think it won't happen, which is what im saying.

never said it should or shouldnt

Except that it can, because it happened before in 2006 with Frings.

 

[KingJolly]

So Costa Rica could beat Uruguay and Italy, that both beat England, but couldn't beat England themselves.



The beauty of Football

 

[Spl1nter]

Disappointed of course with the loss. I was in shock at the Marchisio red card but the Suarez bite, amazing, just too funny now.

Prandelli resigning is good, especially after saying he wants to play more attacking football but goes for a draw in both games. Bringing Cassano in for either game....
Should be a big transition in how the national team plays into the Euros with all the talent on the wings being developed. Time for almost a complete overhaul.

 

[Salsa]

So let's say if someone knocks someone in a coma but the ref doesn't make the call, you can't punish the player later?

Go home Salsa, you're drunk.

is that what happened?

pretty big difference between a player getting a serious injury or not

Except that it can, because it happened before in 2006 with Frings.

it can, it wont
