The Official 2014 FIFA World Cup Thread

And of course no card for Cavani either. Utter robbery.

Like I said, Italy was going to lose the game anyway. A few missed penalties won't change anything.

I would have thought that penalties for Italy rather could have changed the result.

I think we wanted the penalties less because they would help Italy to victory and more because it would give Suarez his comeuppance.

Though the penalties would have certainly helped Italy, and might have even helped prevent that Uruguay goal, if not given Italy one.

Excuse me?
Guess what, Uruguay could score only after a bullshitty red card for Marchisio and a Suarez NOT getting a well-deserved one for the n-th time.

That's why it's all better when you're a neutral fan.

Guess what, Costa Rica didn't score on the worst team in Group D and still advanced.

[Rupudska]

I think I hear the entirety of New Jersey and Italy detaching from their respective continents to collide with Uruguay out of pure rage.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

I would like to point out that if the local Mexican consulate goes up in flames I'll have a perfect alibi.

Wait, how is Mexico involved in the defeat of Uruguay?! Or why should it be burnt up in flames?

The ref was Mexican.

[Saugeais]

So, I think this is the last we'll see of Suarez this tournament, seeing he has ANOTHER incident of cannibalism against another player. Any transfer of penalty over to domestic play as well?

Get in queue.

Yeah but less pull another "standard WC 2014 ref" and just gloss over.

[Qazox]

So, Luis Suarez needs to have his teeth kicked in, right?

[The Archregimancy]

If that really was a bite, then we've surely seen the last of Luis Suarez for a very, very, very long time.

And I expect an Italian-Ghanaian permanent friendship pact of shared righteous outrage to be announced by presidents Napolitano and Mahama within 24 hours.

I'll see if I can convince Alaska to help as well.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

The clock ran until 5:55...

Utter bullshit.

That last sentence sums up a lot of this cup so far.

I mean really, if they were going to give an entire minute might as well changed it to 6' and marked it; not keep it until "5, but we've kinda decided to pull an extra minute out of our ass"

[Maineiacs]

Well, the Italy-Uruguay match didn't really give us much food for thought -- unless you consider cannibalism thought-provoking.

[Constaniana]

So, Luis Suarez needs to have his teeth kicked in, right?

Indeed. But it needs to be thoroughly done so he only has his gums, or else he'll use the jagged remnants of his teeth to bite people even worse.

[Risottia]

I would like to point out that if the local Mexican consulate goes up in flames I'll have a perfect alibi.

I have no idea. As I stated, I'll have an alibi.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

Wait, how is Mexico involved in the defeat of Uruguay?! Or why should it be burnt up in flames?

The ref was Mexican.

Ah, yes, now THAT makes all the difference.

To be honest, the Salvadoran refs have been doing a better job than the Mexican ones.

[Ifreann]

So, I think this is the last we'll see of Suarez this tournament, seeing he has ANOTHER incident of cannibalism against another player. Any transfer of penalty over to domestic play as well?

Can he actually be penalised, since the ref didn't see fit to card him at the time?

[Cata Larga]

If that really was a bite, then we've surely seen the last of Luis Suarez for a very, very, very long time.

We can only hope.

[Constaniana]

Good, good.

[The Archregimancy]

So, I think this is the last we'll see of Suarez this tournament, seeing he has ANOTHER incident of cannibalism against another player. Any transfer of penalty over to domestic play as well?

Almost certainly.

If the alleged bite can indeed be proven, then he's not going to be playing any football anywhere for a long time.

So there goes Liverpool's title challenge for the 2014-15 season.

[Rupudska]

So, Luis Suarez needs to have his teeth kicked in, right?

Indeed. But it needs to be thoroughly done so he only has his gums, or else he'll use the jagged remnants of his teeth to bite people even worse.

No.

Suarez is clearly a vampire and thus must be killed with blessed silver bullets and/or stake through the heart.

[Qazox]

So, Luis Suarez needs to have his teeth kicked in, right?

Indeed. But it needs to be thoroughly done so he only has his gums, or else he'll use the jagged remnants of his teeth to bite people even worse.

If he had done that in almost any other sport he would've been curbstomped right there by the player he did it too.

[The Icemark]

It wasn't a bite folks. It was a touch of endearment

Guess the ref heard that people were complaining about his actions all game and decided to give Italy another minute to try and work some magic.

Therefore, Italy fans should be grateful that the ref gave them an extra minute.
