That's not a bite.
Word. Dude got shouldered right in the teeth. In between the teeth, even.
That's not a bite.
What is it then, a friendly nibble?
Diving, in America at least, is the biggest barrier keeping casual fans from getting into the sport. It's why it has the reputation as being for faggots here. It's not just FIFA, though. All domestic leagues tolerate it as well.
Watching this World Cup with family members has been embarrassing at times. The NBA had problems with flopping and swiftly took measures to end it. The fact this hasn't happened in soccer makes it an inherent part of the sport now, and it's ridiculous. Institute retroactive punishment for diving ASAP. And force refs to take a no tolerance approach to it.
Oh now I remember and the next time they played everyone were wondering if they were gonna shake each other during the opening ceremonies, I think Suarez went for it and Evra pulled his hand away.
If I was Uruguay I wouldn't even want this guy on the team anymore. He's a great player, but he's such a fucking cunt that it taints any of their victories with controversy like this. Just like last WC with his handball to knock out Ghana.
I think that they deliberately skipped each other.
This. I understand (and agree) with the people that don't want instant replay in games because it'll slow down the play, but retroactive punishment after the game should be applied to blatant dives. Also would like a system like MLB, where an off-site official is always watching a game on monitors, so that the ref could consult with them over the headset for a second opinion on certain actions.

In the World Cup final what does a retroactive red card do if a striker dives in the box and gets a PK out of it? Ban the guy from the next game? Lolz he won the World Cup...
All PKs should require instant replay after the ref calls the foul.
the problem is dives outside of the box, if a goal is scored or assisted because of a flop... and it wins a championship game retroactive cards are meaningless.
Fifa vice-president Jim Boyce says football's world governing body 'must investigate' Luis Suarez.
Boyce adds: "I have watched the incident several times on television.
"There is no doubt Luis Suarez is a fantastic footballer but once again his actions have left him open to severe criticism.
"There is no doubt that Fifa must investigate this incident very seriously and take whatever action is deemed necessary."
This just popped up on my twitter feed..
Someone actually won a bet that the dude that bit someone would bite someone.. jesus lol

Uruguay captain Diego Lugano: "You saw this, really? You need to show me because I didn't see anything. Did you see it today or did you see what happened in other years. You couldn't have seen it today because nothing happened.
"The worst of everything is the attitude of Chiellini. He's a great player, with an enormous status. It doesn't correspond with Italian football. As sportsmen leaving the field, crying and appealing against a rival. As a man he disappointed me totally."

Reading some of the responses from the Uruguayan staff and players is kinda funny. Are they really trying to act like Suarez is being unfairly persecuted? . It's like he doesn't think before he does this things, he just goes in for the bite.
Biting someone once during a match is already peculiar but doing it two more times on different occasions; you can't just brush that under the rug as someone being unfairly targeted. This i probably gonna ruin his move to Spain this summer. What a dumbass.
Sometimes, it's very obvious.Its difficult for the ref to tell whether its a dive or not. No foul != dive.

What a bitch.
