Some people have a tenuous grip on reality.
I think Suarez should have his teeth removed as clearly he cannot control himself. He can remove his dentures when he plays football to keep opponents safe.

This twat needs a severe punishment. Almost all of the people defending him are doing it for nationalistic reasons, i.e., are Uruguayans. Even Liverpool supporters are finding it hard to condone this, though still want their club to keep hold of this disgraceful cheat.
If Lugano's and the Uruguayans idea of "a normal taunt in football" is biting a player, I wonder what they would consider as extreme.
I wonder if the Uruguayan people realize they are fast becoming the most hated footballing country on the planet, all thanks to just one twat on their team and them having to constantly defend his ridiculous antics on the pitch.

A life time ban seems reasonable as he is a serial offender.

At minimum, Suarez should be prohibited by FIFA from participating in any professional soccer games--including games for the Portugal national team--until August 2015, the start of the 2015-2016 European soccer season.

'Even Liverpool supporters are finding it hard to condone this, though still want their club to keep hold of this disgraceful cheat.'
Oh, give the Man U rattle-throwing a rest. To begin with, many Liverpool fans want Suarez out and I agree with them as someone who has a lot of affection and respect for the club. This horrible character has disgraced and embarrassed that great club too many times. Any Uruguayan or Liverpool fan who continues to defend him is horribly blinded in my reckoning, as were many Man U fans who defended the thug Roy Keane through his attempts to seriously injure opponents - finishing one's career with one of the most horrific things I've seen on a football pitch. Are you consistent in your outrage?

Ban him from the game for life! No second thoughts !

Two-year ban sounds in order to me.

Either he was off his medication, or baited to the point where he lost it, or it was a friendly love bite. Hmmm...
The way he was sitting holding his front teeth, though, it seemed like he was saying "My teeth have a life of their own! These danged things!"
(But the thought bubble over his head was, "Now I've really gone and done it!")
OK, so the Uruguayan fans are supporting him, but that is what fans do.

Mr. Ed (Willllbuuuuur!) and Uruguay were just hungry for a win against a delicious looking Italian team ready to be eaten. But one thing's for sure, if Suarez is taken out, team Uruguay might as well start packing their suitcases.

Suarez the rodent reborn. He can't help it.

Well he was just banned from the World Cup and a fine that ammounts two hundred thousand dollars. Seems fine to me, it must be excruciating to not participate anymore in the so important Uruguay games in the quartefinals.

Suarez should be letting play with Muzzle put on his mouth. Also Uruguay Team must feed him before the game. So he won't be hunger and bitten off other players' meat during the match.
