That's his sweet spot too.

Man Suarez, I want to like him but what a ******* savage. He's going to get himself banned from all competition.

And don't forget that one !!

 

[El Argentino]

Still having trouble justifying the cannibal, but this article is a fantastic look at the problem

I'd like to see what Uruguayans will say once the emotions die down a little. I chatted with quite a few of their fans in Sao Paolo and Suarez could not do any wrong in their eyes. Let's see how they justify this.

 

[Mark Anthony]

ill intent and dangerous play are key factors not secondary issues. So it is hard to argue that was the case here.

I still feel after watching from three angles that Marchisio's boot never actually touches Rios. They bump but not the boot. And if so, dear god it barely grazes.

If that technically is a red card, most matches would end 7 v 7.

Uruguay did defend well and Italy did not have the answer though, you felt they were getting a bit closer.

Ultimate irony is Suarez will surely be banned from the rest of the tournament. No Suarez, no chance in hell.

At least if it had gone 10 v 10 after the "missed with the head butt, but since I am here I better bite him" this could all be different.

Enjoy all.

Go Iran, Netherlands, Germany!!!


BTW - Can I call last word on this??

 

[arnathor]

Glad to see Mark Anthony cheering on Netherlands now!

Now Portugal has to pull a miracle to make it through, James Street is going to be quiet except when the Dutch fans make it out! I predict Hamilton is going to become Netherlands Central!

 

[LA Guy]

Changing between games, figuring Ivory Coast has least chance chance of being boring, I missed the Columbian goal. Fml.

^ hope you didn't miss the Japan goal. Pretty exciting.

Serious? Geez. I did see the Greek goal.

 

[erictheobscure]

Well, it was exciting chiefly by virtue of its timing--at the last possible moment of added time.

 

[El Argentino]

Not that Colombia has a weak player base, but watching this team in the WC reminds me just how good a coach Pekerman is. Argentina should've gone much further in 2006, but for Kahn and his little papelito

 

[HRoi]

This schedule where both group games are played at the exact same time is deliciously overwhelming

 

[HRoi]

Oh wow, they are actually going to give Greece a game winner penalty for that!!??

 

[Neo_Version 7]

yay Greece! Bravo Elladara mou
