    Italy v Uruguay

    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...

    Italy v Uruguay

    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...

    Italy v Uruguay

    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?

    Luke Shaw signs for Man Utd

    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.

    Glad your kids feel that way, but there will be children who most certainly will follow if he's allowed to get away with it.

    I did say minimum. As was said on TV, children watch these matches. If we don't totally nail this, this is going to start being replicated on school playing fields.

    England v Costa Rica

    I thought we played okay in spells and certainly controlled the game, but I'm not sure quite how much effort Costa Rica put in. Thought Sturridge was poor, particularly his first touch. Jones did okay at right back and I thought Luke Shaw was excellent at left back. I liked Lallana and Wishere...

    Don't care how brilliant a player he is, Suarez should be banned from the game. 12 months minimum, starting next game.

    Win that and then it's Chile.

    No, Turkey.

    Italy v Uruguay

    Yeah. No reason why he couldn't have gone over and watched the game from the stands in one of the stadiums.

    Toumani Diagouraga targeted?

    You sure he really exists with a name like that? Toumani Diagouraga is an anagram of Origami Auto Dung

    Italy v Uruguay

    Was surprised we weren't a little more, let's say, rugged, with him. We left Pirlo alone on Saturday and then on Thursday we also allowed Suarez too much space and didn't give him any grief at all with a few robust challenges. We all know if you get to him he starts doing the stupid things he...

    Should Roy Hodgson Stay On As England Manager?

    Very fair assessment, Stupot. Think we were determined to play Welbeck and esepcially Rooney come hell or high water and tried to accommodate them whatever other players were around them. Also think you are correct about the midfield. In neither of the 2 games did we control things or indeed...
