World Cup Brazil 2014 / Weltmeisterschaft Brasilien

[Sweder]

Enough geeky pedantry, this is a thread for jingoistic Jocks only.
And what better event to return us to the self-righteous soap-box than a Luis Suarez biting? His third in relatively quick succession, a disturbing misdemeanour that will surely herald his demise on the world stage.
Or will it?

Despite his cannibalistic and racially abusive behaviour Suarez was lauded by players and pundits alike last season, sweeping the boards at the PFWA and the PFA awards. On phone-ins last night and this morning Liverpool fans leapt to the assailant's defence, claiming he is no worse than Eric 'Kung Fu' Cantona. Not sure about that. King Eric served an eight month ban for his - retaliatory - moment of madness, that FA sanction on top of the one his club imposed, and, unlike Suarez, did not re-offend. No ill-conceived t-shirt campaign in support of his actions, either. Suarez was set for a big move to Spain this summer. This latest episode will see his value plummet, if indeed the move can now go ahead at all. Liverpool may well have lost a prized asset through no fault of their own and should fine him accordingly. FIFA have announced an investigation. I hope I'm wrong but I can't see this concluding swiftly or decisively.

Suarez bit an opponent, just like Tyson on Holyfield. Suarez has now done that THREE TIMES.
Throw his sorry arse out of the game. And get him some therapy, FFS.
