Yeah the bite itself was hard to see w/o replay. Pretty clear in slow-mo though. n/t Benton D Struckcheon Jun 2014 #12

From play at any level would get the point across to him and others who do these over the top actions

So much for the transfer to Barcelona/Real Madrid rumours. His market value just got cut in half.

Shame.

The guy was running around pulling his jersey off his shoulder to show the teeth marks. They weren't visible to me but after hearing the announcers talk about his experiences with Liverpool and his previous biting incidents I'm willing to believe that a bite took place.

He should have been red carded but if the referee didn't see it it didn't happen.

Something to watch now that Uruguay has reached the elimination rounds.

It's a shame. You want to support a tiny country competing with the big boys, but it's hard to feel any loyalty to a side whose star is a dirty player.

I would support a lifetime ban. As one of the commentators I just heard talking about it mentioned, what's weird (other than the basic fact that he's friggin' biting people) is that in at least a couple of the cases, including today, these didn't seem like cases where things got heated or he was totally crazy angry. The circumstances, and he, were relatively calm- until the bites, of course.

Also, Italy has a pretty strong case for throwing out that game I would think. It'll never happen, I know, but it's pretty clear the goal that came immediately afterward was probably a direct result of the upset over this crazy behavior.
