Brasil 2014

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?

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.

Greece ahead 1-0. Nice goal!

Ooooooo! nice finish but the Ivory Coast lad was dozy in the extreme and got robbed. His team-mates did not look happy.

Nooooo! :frowning:

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.

Oh, football gods, please don’t let Greece through to the next round after scoring one (1) goal all tournament. Please!

Too busy today to look at the group scenarios other than that Colombia is already through.

Vampirism

He can’t be a vampire, he is OK with crosses.

If anyone is under any doubt about the bite, it made quite an impression.

Seconding this prayer!

“He hit me in the teeth with his shoulder! I swear!”

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…”

Goooooool! Jackson Martinez for Colombia!

Colombia 2 - Japan 1

Ivory Coast just can’t finish!

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.

Colombia wastes a 3 on 2 breakaway…

Bony!
