2014 World Cup Bite Club

FIFA fined three time Bite Club champion Suarez 100K Swiss Francs, in addition to a 4 month world wide playing ban which includes the rest of this World Cup.  He will now miss nine international matches and the first nine matches of the Premier League season for Liverpool, as well as three Champions League matches.  Lost in the shuffle... 

Rules of Bite Club:

1st Rule: You do not talk about BITE CLUB.
2nd Rule: You DO NOT talk about BITE CLUB.
3rd Rule: If your opponent says "stop", goes limp, taps out, screams at the ref, the biting is over, you lay down and act innocent and as if injured.
4th Rule: Only two guys to a bite.
5th Rule: One bite at a time.
6th Rule: No blood, no foul, no ejection, play on.
7th Rule: Biting will go on as long as it has to.
8th Rule: If this is your first time at BITE CLUB, you HAVE to bite.

Does playing 30 minutes + with 10 men make a difference?  Yes. Without this advantage would Uruguay have managed to win 1-0? We will never know the answer to this question.

Replay clearly showed that Italian defender Marchisio was ejected for not even touching an opposing player.  

With Bite Club champion Suarez past history of making like Mike Tyson (this is his 3rd ban for biting), and after taking a chomp at Italian defender Chiellini, the referee looked the other way, called no foul and allowed him to continue playing. WTF?  

In front of millions, how does FIFA justify this kind of WWF behaviour by its players and blatantly biased misconduct by its officials? Well, we know the answer to that one.

At any rate, the Italians were listless in their last two games and proved, they need a new coach, a large infusion of youth, and if you don't play to win and don't score, you can't win. 

Meanwhile Uruguay proved if you can't beat em', bite em'.   We find the Twitter posts below regarding Suarez's being a little peckish quite hilarious.   The first two are our favs.   A holler out to SBNATION for the posts.
