Excellent article on him: http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/10984370/portrait-serial-winner-luis-suarez-soccer-most-beautiful-player
Zidane was the apex of craziness in soccer for me before this. He just got replaced. But the story is excellent for the way it puts together life on the edge in South America.

(6,261 posts)So much for the transfer to Barcelona/Real Madrid rumours. His market value just got cut in half.
Shame.

(23,664 posts)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.

(7,820 posts)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.
