Yes, that was what I was thinking. Pretty much any country really, Germany, Italy, Holland, France, the US. As this was a rather small incident (though the flag burning I felt was most distasteful), does this show our tolerance? Could this be something relfected in a positive light rather than...

Nope. Just making it clear they are a bunch of bunglers!! They bungle everything. :whistle:

Another way of looking at it is, doesn't this make us a much more tolerant country than most? The fact that people of other nations and backgrounds can celebrate or protest or speak up for themselves without fear (on the whole) of reprisal? This incident was very minor, I think only about 150...

Well that's not a surprise.

Now, I know this might prove to be contentious, but just wondered what everyone else thought about what went on here in Bedford last Tuesday after the Italy v England game. Bedford has at least 20% of the population being either Italian or of Italian descent, the largest contingent pro rata in...

Sorry, can't reply, my nose is all bunged up! Besides, I haven't got time to reply, I'm shortly off to go bungee jumping off my bungalow. Unless of course I bungle it all up. You getting the picture. :whistle:

“We needed to win, so if you have to hit you hit, if you have to bite you bite,” said Barbara Giordano, a 26-year-old law student in Montevideo." Well done Barbara. :facepalm:

Like one of the Belgian newspaper's headlines though. 'The Tooth of God.'

Think they should throw the whole team out. That's both the captain and manager totally denying it even happened. They had better be really quick with a retraction and apology I would have thought. If Uruguay do continue, which they surely will, I will be rooting for every other team they come...

Other press reaction in Uruguay included coverage of the response on social media and overseas, and the sense that all may not have been as it seemed – El Observador pointing to a lack of definitive photo evidence. “There was no single picture to prove there was a bite. Two images were...

The Luis Suárez “biting” incident has been explained away by a Uruguayan TV station as a conspiracy by the English – just like the 1966 World Cup final. A report on the Tenfield station’s website said Suárez’s face made contact with Giorgio Chiellini’s shoulder but only became an issue...

Evra's just signed a new one year deal though and is still playing for France in the world cup. So the question is, is Evra to be first choice for one more year with Shaw then taking over, or is Evra to be second choice to Shaw?

It's not as if he even came out and made a immediate apology or anything. Not that it would made much of difference, but to carry out the act in front of an audience of millions and then lie about it and totally deny he's done it, shows him up to be the coniving, cheating little shit he is. Now...

FIFA can't be weak here, they just can't. Got to be minimum 12 month ban and if I were Liverpool I would try and palm him off here and now.

It's unbelievable. And when you read on it just gets worse. Talk about being in denial. Uruguay jumped to Suárez’s defence, with the non-playing captain Diego Lugano sensing conspiracy and accusing Chiellini of being a cry baby. He also suggested that the apparent bite mark on the...

And it's bad enough being a diver, cheat, sneak and a biter, without being a great big dirty liar too. Post match interview Suárez denied he had bitten Chiellini. “These situations happen on the field,” he said. “I had contact with his shoulder, chest against shoulder and I got a knock to the...

Have to say, THIS is almost just as disgraceful! Uruguay manager Oscar Tabarez and his players as they left the stadium. A heated exchange with Tabarez in his news conference ended with him claiming this was nothing more than a conspiracy against Suarez led by the...

Surely FIFA won't have the authority to ban him from club football will they?

Absolutely no good for England at all unless he's number 1 choice for Man U and plays every week for them. If England are to succeed at all, we don't need squad players who sit on the bench or play for the reserves. Let's just hope he's there for a starting role.

I will be gobsmacked if he gets anything less than at least a 10 game international ban, but hey, it's FIFA, so he'll probably be given a medal or something. HAS to be banned and banned for a long, long time. We cannot allow this sort of thing to happen.
