Am I the only one that's dumbfounded as to why Suarez wasn't sent off this morning?

The referee sends off Marchisio for a challenge barely worthy of a yellow card and then doesn't even give Suarez a yellow for biting?

I didn't watch the game but I saw the highlight of the bite, it was fairly obvious. Not to mention the bite marks on Chiellini's shoulder...

You can't give a red for something you didn't see.

I do not want to start a new thread, but the real winner of today's bite is:

This guy bet $10 that Suarez would bite someone at the World Cup.

The odds were 175:1. He won $1,750.

fricking awesome.


To answer the OP, the Mexican ref didn't see it, and then didn't give a shite about Chiellini showing him the bite marks because Chiellini had acted like he was shot in the face on zero contact at least 4 times earlier in the game.

So basically IMO, he was the douche that cried wolf one too many times prior to Suarez going full retard again.

Counting senior games only, Suarez bites someone every ~120 games

Like to see what the odds are for the next game he actually plays

10 SEK = only about $1.50.

So he won ~$270.

The ref... he was Mexican. Everything he's seen in the Mexican leagues, that's probably didn't cross his mind.

My bad. That is just what I read from an English translation. Still a hilarious bet to win.

considering I haven't seen it... and judging by the responses I'm going with the "you can't call what you can't see" sentiment


now it's up to FIFA to make sure Suarez isn't playing in the round of 16 game against Colombia in Rio on Saturday

IIRC the ref didn't see Zidane's headbutt in 06 did he?

The MiB said they heard it may be a 2 year ban from international play with Uruguay.

Alexi and company are talking about it now on World Cup Tonight.

Ballack is flummoxed.
