Rumour is the ban will be 6 games with Uruguay given the right to appeal. Uruguay are expected to appeal and given the time it would take to appeal, Suarez would be able to play till at least the Semi Finals..
Uefa would then hope Uruguay will be eliminated by then anyway, to avoid more bad publicity...
6 international games, or any competitive games?
2 game ban max would be a great way for FIFA to piss off the UK press.
Nobody is defending what Suarez did, but the majority are attacking Suarez' critics in the UK media for being totally OTT and/or hypocritical about the incident.
You were in the tunnel in Paris?It's like when that Diana lass died, me & my mate saw it live & thought, meh, then gradually almost the entire country went insane in some ultra-faux outpouring of grief for this obscenely rich girl they'd never met.

😱
Ha. Yeah, I was just walking along with my halogen torch (it was dark) & suddenly this car drive into a pillar.
Nah, me & my mate had stayed up drinking all night & were just about to go to bed when it appeared on sky news, some silly O clock in the morning time.
3 match ban, back to score the winner in the final.
I'll defend him - I think what he did was absolutely right, and I am annoyed that more players don't undertake a bit of tooth tickling more regularly. The game would be a much more exciting spectacle if this was more widespread
Let's face it, Luis isn't very skilled in the biting technique. You can see him doing it a mile off. The club needs to appoint a specialist coach to show him how to perform better at it.
People aren't *absolving* him of blame, but loads have *defended* him. I know I and a few others have taken the 'ok it's weird but is it really that bad' kind of line.
Surely that's defending him.
What do people make of the Suarez defence that it was just casual play?

So long as they're both consenting adults, I don't see how it's any of our business.
On a roll today mate.
