Group D Match Topic (Costa Rica, England, Italy, Uruguay)

If Suarez was a Chelsea player... what would you say about him?

I wouldn't expect chelsea to sell him if he did something for Uruguay, let alone in a chelsea shirt.

Lets not forget Arsenal tried to buy him too

Also don't see how one player affects the image of a whole club. That never made sense to me when people say a player makes a club look bad. 

I hope the Italian FA refuse

Can they refuse?

Can they refuse?

I doubt it. Italian FA president has also resigned.

So that's Italy out of the World Cup and the manager and the head of thei FA has resigned. And England....

Haha, it's f***in hilarious that he did it again. He'll probably harm Uruguay's chances of progressing if he's banned, but they were never going to win it anyway (sorry Quico ). To hell with all the false morality that seems to be an integral part of the game in Britain (omg a player cheated his wife, let's write long articles about that; he's bitten someone! it's the end of the world as we know it).

I remember all the fuss about his handball in 2010, many members of this forum calling him names and everything, dirty c**t blablabla, unable to realize how amazing and poetic that moment was. And unsurprisingly, after a few goals they all forgot their high morals and their gentleman mentality still stuck in the 19th century, and turned their rage into adoration for the guy a little later.

Luis Suarez! A World Cup legend. And I'm laughing

I'm with you Diego! I can't help it, but I love that mad b***ard.

And for those upset about our name being dragged through the mud just remember the phrase "Sticks and stones......" and just revel in the genius and the madness that is Luis Suarez,

I am one of Luis Suarez biggest fans, what he did at Liverpool last season was nothing short of superb exhilarating football, he was a pleasure to watch week after week, the goals he scored, the positions he got himself into, the way he fed his teammates was breathtaking, he has everything in his locker so why oh why does he have to do things like he's done tonight, as soon as I saw the incident I was convinced that it was a coming together of heads....I tried to defend him, but having seen the incident again and again I have to admit that he's guilty as hell and I'm finding it very hard to defend or support him at the moment, I just wish he didn't do it and think he seriously needs some anger management to help him.
I still think he's an absolutely brilliant player and I sincerely hope I see him in the red of Liverpool next season, but he's gonna have to have massively broad shoulders to put up with the abuse he will no doubt receive.....sad, very sad indeed.

I understand your point, but  Marchisio rakes his foot down the shin of the Uruguayan and this could break the knee, surely that is more a problem than a bit of niggle. I mean the things that can end careers or cause damage are the real issues surely. Chiellini is very physical and I have seen him sent off many times. No one impunes his character. If Luis is found guilty, then dangerous play maybe and a couple of games. I really can't see the issue. I would say this about any player.

There's been a very long and repetitive discussion about this on this forum back when he bit Ivanovic too. But it's not just about potential damage, it's also about how a person conducts themselfs. For example, you get a ban too when you spit someone in the face. For me it's pretty logical that biting is deemed more unacceptable in football than a kick like the one Marchisio did. It's actually very hard to understand for me how someone could come to biting someone else. You don't have to be crazy to do what Marchisio did, but to bite someone..

Well in Suarez's casetey probably give him a lot of personal abuse about his buck teeth so he gives them a first hand view. He isn't fom your background Bier, your probably middle class with a decent education and sense of how things should be. He is probably seen how things really are. For me, personally I wold rather someone took a nibble on my arm than followed through studs up into my knee, and were confirmed by the press as hard but fair.

Any way its just a personal opinion. I could care less what the media say as they are just selling something; the more sensational the better. I personally thing the over the  reaction to Suarez is a little bit 'beside' the game and defnitely over the top. If he is found guilty he gets a ban for dangerous play. He's not Halliburton and they got nothing.

Well, considering how uncommon it is for players to bite each other or grown men to bite each other period I think it's safe to say that it has little to do with my background. Some things are just deemed as more acceptable than others. Even Suarez himself thinks that. I read a whole thing about him saying how ashamed he was that his kids might see those incidents one day, that it had kept him awake at night. He's well aware how unacceptable that behaviour is.

I think he disadvantages himself more than anyone really, that's the sad part. Probably misses the rest of the tournament because of it, lets his team down. Same could have been the case with us this season with that ban. Besides that for me it's not a big thing, I've known how he was since before he joined us, he'll probably do something like this again sometime.

Not where I'm from!

Just checked. Got him.

Me & my missus favourite sexual position is called the ''England football team'' ! . . .

Neither of us know what we're doing or why we're there, there's no passion, no communication & we never make it past the 1st stage.

There's horrible dribbling & never a clean sheet. Its over far too quickly & when it does end I know it'll be at least another four f***in years before it happens again!

Excellent .:-)

I was at the stadiumand missed the whole thing. If its true, dont know whats inside the lads head. Dont really care to be honest

The italian had been kicking the hell out of him all match and if thats the way he reacts...well id just punch him, he opts for a bite. F**k all this. Press is focusing on Suarez nibble rather than saying that Uruguay and Costa Rica are the ones out of the Group.

And Diego...if Suarez plays anything can happen we seem to play better whith iur backs against the wall. Not many teams can beat Italy when a tie suits them. Italy and Uruguay are so similar its disgusting, haha. But seriously, i dont think many Brazilians want to meet us in the round of 8 if we beat Colombia.

Hey Rib, never count us out, we are a tough old bone, we aint pretty to watch, but we do seem to know how to get results. Something England doesent.

Uruguay are always slow starters, we havent won our first match in a WC since maybe 1954, i think. And we reached semis in 3 times in that period. We can lose with anyone, but we can beat anyone (except germany, haha)

I have lots of pics, will try to upload when i get home, im leaving today. If i go to Rio, my wife will change the locks! Left her at home with the two kids,

I'd have thought a wigid display was just the ticket in those circumstances

What are you saying?! He'd call it love making of a standard that was second only to Casanova.

On a sliding scale, it's certainly not worse than Neymar's elbow in the opening game, that went unpunished.

Correct, that had the potential to cause some real damage.

Chiellini is pretty .... physical.
