Thrice bitten: Luis Suarez does it again

Luis Suarez has done it again, caught biting an opponent while playing for Uruguay against Italy at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Uruguay knocked out Italy 1-0 to go through to the next round, but what the game will be remembered for is Suarez’s ‘Mouth of God’ moment.

The buck-toothed striker took a chunk out of Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini in the second half, but escaped action from the referee.

For those who don’t know, Suarez has a lot of form in this area. The bitey one nibbled on an Eindhoven player’s shoulder in 2010 and then tasted a Chelsea player in 2013.

You add this to a long litany of incidents like dives, handballs, punches, headbutting a referee and a racism scandal.

So what do you do with a problem like Luis Suarez?

Ban him for starters. He copped seven games for his first bite and 10 for his second. I reckon 20 and he might start to get the message. Suspend him from the rest of the World Cup and half the Premier League season and maybe, just maybe, he’ll pull his head in.

Suarez may be a brilliant striker but this behaviour is outrageous. But how do you stop him doing it again? I really don’t know.

Suarez has deep psychological issues. Last time he blamed the English media after he bit Branislav Ivanovic. I can’t wait to hear what reason, or excuse, he comes up with now.

Suarez, the 21st century footballer-turned vampire. You can’t make this stuff up.
