> [@levdrakon](#): > > Is there a medical condition that causes people to compulsively bite? It almost looked like Suarez hurt his teeth. Why would he bite if he knew it would hurt his teeth? I can’t say for sure, but it looked to me like Chiellini threw his elbow up into Suarez’s face in response to the bite. Which seems to me like a completely sensible reaction, BTW. ---

Wow, lovely sweeping move by Greece, ending with a shot hitting the crossbar. ---

I wonder what Liverpool’s reaction will be. Will they have the guts to sack him? ---

> [@amanset](#): > > I wonder what Liverpool’s reaction will be. Will they have the guts to sack him? I can think of 80 million reasons why they won’t. Though it might force them to the bargaining table if there is a team out there sufficiently morally bankrupt to sign him. Who am I kidding? there’s never a shortage of brazen opportunists in football. ---

Nooooo! ☹ Japan finds the back of the net in extra time just before half. They must have taken lessons from the Americans. At the break it’s 1-1. ---

I can picture Luis Suarez hunched over a drink in some bar ten years from now. “Do they call me Suarez, the Goal Machine? Noooo. Do they call me Suarez, Player of the Year? Noooo. But you bite just a few defenders…” ---

> [@Isosleepy](#): > > Oh, football gods, please don’t let Greece through to the next round after scoring one (1) goal all tournament. Please! I understand the sentiment, but Greece have been playing very nicely today. They just whacked the crossbar with a powerful strike for the second time today. ---
