Luis Suarez 'bite': Uruguay striker in World Cup
controversy:
Uruguay's Luis Suarez has been accused of biting
a player for the third time in his career after an incident with Giorgio
Chiellini at the World Cup. Chiellini pulled his shirt down to show the referee
a mark on his shoulder but no action was taken by the official. The maximum ban
Suarez could face if governing body Fifa takes retrospective action is 24
matches or two years.
Godin's winner means four-time champions Italy finish
third in Group D at the 2014 Fifa World Cup and exit before the knockout stages
for the second finals in a row. "Suarez is a sneak," said Chiellini.
"I'd love to see if Fifa has the courage to use video evidence against
him. "The referee saw the bite mark too, but he did nothing about
it." Suarez, who committed a handball on the line to stop Ghana from
scoring at the 2010 World Cup, told Uruguayan television: "These are just
things that happen out on the pitch. It was just the two of us inside the area
and he bumped into me with his shoulder. "There are things that happen on
the pitch and you should not make such a big deal out of them." After the
clash between the players Suarez went to ground holding his mouth, apparently
suggesting he had been elbowed. As Chiellini, 29, ran after referee Marco
Rodriguez, Uruguay forward Gaston Ramirez attempted to get the Juventus defender
to cover his shoulder.
