Two-year ban? Era-defining bite deserves era-defining response

Suarez clashed with Chiellini with just over 10 minutes to go at the end of the final Group D clash, in which the winning team was assured of a spot in the last 16.

It was clear immediately that this was more than a normal clash in the box between fierce rivals: Chiellini ran to the referee to show him bite marks on his shoulder, and video replays clearly showed the Uruguayan superstar sinking his teeth into the defender's shoulder.FIFA are investigating the incident - and Suarez, twice previously banned for biting, looks set to be hit with another lengthy suspension despite escaping punishment during the match.World Cup rules allow the use of video or "any other evidence" to retrospectively punish players, so there is no question that the 27-year-old is facing a long spell out of the game.(uk.eurosport.yahoo.com)Bakudaily.az
