Uruguay's Advancement Overshadowed By Another Biting...???

((HT: ESPN/FIFA))

This is Group of Champions and it appears that Luis Suarez is a chump- again...

Costa Rica and Uruguay advance to the knockout stages leaving Italy and England behind. But the larger issue is the apparent taking a chunk out of Chiellini's shoulder by striker Luis Suarez.

80th minute- a minute before Godin's goal against 10-man Forza- Suarez is in the box and jostling..


This is the third incident like this with Suarez. He received a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic in 2013.
((HT: BPL))


Luis Suarez apologized at the time:

“I am deeply sorry for my inexcusable behaviour earlier today during our match against Chelsea.

“I have issued an apology and have tried to contact Branislav Ivanović to speak to him personally. I apologise also to my manager, playing colleagues and everyone at Liverpool Football Club for letting them down.”


In November 2010, Suárez, playing for Ajax Amsterdam, was suspended for seven games for biting PSV Eindhoven’s Otman Bakkal during a Dutch league game.
((HT: Football))


Suárez never played for Ajax again after the first biting incident; the club sold him to Liverpool during that winter’s January transfer window.

And the next question is: Does Suarez get suspended and do Uruguay keep him around for international play after...??/

And what does Liverpool do now...??? Pull the contract on the table...???

OSG High: WBB Coach Accused Of Biting Player In The Face

((HT: WAPT-TV))

Doyle Wolverton is second in the country in wins for a girl's basketball team at Leake Academy (MS)- 38 years and over 1,200 career wins...

But last Tuesday, he was accused of biting a rival player in a game and has since resigned...

Chris Thomas of the Jackson Clarion-Ledger has the details, which are pretty creepy:

According to the simple assault complaint, which was filed by Toby Thaggard of Carthage, Wolverton allegedly grabbed Thaggard’s daughter “by the shirt and then bit her on the right side of the face,” as if he was getting on to her for making a bad play.

The report then states Thaggard took the player, whose name was redacted in the complaint, to the emergency room, where deputies observed a “bruised bite mark on the lower right side of her face."


Thaggard said that he didn't want to pursue charges...

Here's the early returns...

When Goalies Attack And Don't Think You're Really Hurt

((HT: Talksport/Digisport Romania))

This is what happens when situations get a little more than volatile...

You saw last time out in the eastern conference finals what everyone thinks about flopping...
Not a fan...

So, when athletes think other athletes are taking it easy and trying to take advantage of a situation, you get this...

In a Romanian league game between two teams called Petrolul and Gaz Metan, Gaz Metan striker Thaer Bawab goes down with- something... a flat tire, a cramp to his Achilles, something...

Petrolul goalkeeper, Mircea Bornescu, takes a chunk out of the dude when the pile gets together to encourage the guy to get up and stop faking...


The end result was 11 yellow cards, six reds, and 15 minutes of extra time.

OSG Prem: Liverpool's Suarez Fined For Biting (UPDATED: 10-Match Ban)

Liverpool's Luis Suarez now is the Premier League leader in biting with two...

He had done it once before when he was a player at Ajax...
Suarez was given a seven match ban for his teething...

Over the weekend, he pulled the same stunt against Chelsea's Ivanovic...
((HT: SkySports))


"For my unacceptable behavior yesterday, the club has fined me today," Suarez wrote on his Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Suarez said he wants the undisclosed sum to be donated to families affected by the 1989 Hillsborough Stadium disaster, which killed 96 Liverpool fans. This past weekend was the anniversary of the tragedy, so Suarez's timing wasn't the best...

Ever...

He still could face a long ban from the Football Association for his munching, but surprisingly, the team isn't budging on their thoughts on his future.

"It affects his future in the sense that we have to work with him on his discipline, but Luis is a very important player to the club,"
Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre said. "He's a very popular player with his teammates. As we keep saying, he signed a new four-year contract last summer, and we'd all love to see him here throughout that contract.

"He's a fantastic player, top scorer and everything we'd want in a striker, so there's no change there. This is more about getting him back on the right track."


The Professional Footballers' Association (the player's union) has offered the services of counselors. Adidas, Suarez's sponsor, released a statement:

"Adidas takes this type of incident very seriously and does not condone Luis Suarez's behaviour. We will be reminding him of the standards we expect from our players. Luis has admitted his actions were unacceptable and we support the way Liverpool are planning to handle the situation."

WEDNESDAY UPDATE: The FA has given Suarez a 10-match ban...

The ban begins immediately, so Suarez is done for the rest of the regular season. He has until midday on Friday to appeal the additional seven-match suspension.

Liverpool's managing director, Ian Ayre, told Sky Sports: "Both the club and player are shocked and disappointed at the severity of today's Independent Regulatory Commission decision.

"We await the written reasons tomorrow (Thursday) before making any further comment."
