World Cup 2014

[El Kabong]

Brazilian striker Fred and Legend Diego Maradona have come out against the FIFA punishment of Suarez calling it too harsh and unfair.


I tend to agree seeing how Antonio Valencia was able to choke Raheem Sterling and nothing was done about it during the game or afterwards

I've been reading the Liverpool forums and the fans hadn't been defending him at all though. Although now they are quite rightly pissed off that the ban is pretty unfair on them. I sympathise.
He drags Liverpool's good name through the dirt. Many comments were saying that like to see the prosposed transfers actually go through now.

I'm a Liverpool fan and I don't see the big deal. Now granted YES there are very good reasons to worry given the way LFC has been portrayed by the media in the past, but Suarez wasn't playing for Liverpool when he did this, he was playing for Uruguay so why does Liverpool get penalized for it?

There are a lot of Liverpool fans who believe in this moral high ground and we should ship Suarez off immediately but what other club worth it's salt would react like that? I know bloody well Manchester United wouldn't as they gave Cantona the captain's arm band AFTER he kicked a Palace player and attacked one of their fans. I know Tottenham wouldn't as Jermaine Defoe bit Mascherano and not 1 damn thing happened to him.


Put Suarez's bites into perspective, it's a bit like a headbutt. Nobody is permanently injured, nobody has to leave the game, nobody has to get medical treatment....the "foul" of the situation is just that it is shocking he would bite somebody and even then shit he's done it before so again why so shocked? Was anyone shocked that Valencia tried to strangle Raheem Sterling? Hmmm odd that.


Luis Suarez catches heat because he's an amazing player, he's hated by everyone EXCEPT fans of his teams, and in England he's hated because he's foreign as well. He plays hard and gets irritated on occasion, but shit everyone does that....they just don't bite, they'll trip, push, elbow, headbutt, choke, punch....that's all


It's a nonevent IMO

Biting and spitting should be immediate ban. I think he got off lightly. I don't know why but I consider these worse than headbutting ?!

If Barca still interested then liverpool should sell

There's something about biting that gives the aura of craziness and/or mental instability, much more so than head butting, punching, ect. Call it the Mike Tyson Effect I guess. It's such a primitive, animalistic thing to do.

[El Kabong]

It's a nonevent...Suarez didn't hurt the guy a headbutt can be MUCH worse than a tiny little bite.

[Beanflicker]

I don't think it's a non event. He jumped on a guy like a zombie and bit him. That's something to talk about for sure.

[Beanflicker]

For me it's not just the bite. I've seen guys in hockey get face washed by someone and bite the fingers, and I'm like "ok, well if someone was mushing my face with their hand, I could see myself losing my temper and biting them."

But I've never seen anyone actually jump on a guy from behind unprovoked and just bite someone. The guy is a psychopath.

The "face wash" is one of the WORST insults you can give someone....hockey gloves stink.

You're right there, the three biting incidents haven't been opportunistic bites he is going pretty far out of his way and grabbing the opponent to bite them :S...... It's just weird .. I would imagine proper bite like suarez likes to lay on people would be pretty painful, so get him banned for sure.. 4 months and 120,000 quid is a pretty fair deal for him..

It's a real shame. One minute you're the EPL MVP with your fans chanting "MVP, MVP" every time you're on the soccerball field but then one little bite and you're written off as a nutter and banned for half the season again.
