He doesn't just try though.

There is no biting in Fútbol. I hope he is banned for life.

for **** sakes... sometimes you have to wonder why even bother watching sports.

my two favorite teams eliminated one after another on some complete bull. the Marchisio red card, Suarez biting, Ivory Coast displaying a vintage African team performance by just gift wrapping two goals to the Greeks.... argh.

Online bookmaker Betsafe had been offering odds of 175-1 that the Uruguayan, twice banned for biting, would sink his teeth into an opponent during the World Cup in Brazil. Sure enough, more than 100 gamblers decided that it was worth a punt. When Suárez seemingly did just that to Chiellini near the end of their Group D clash in Natal, it was time to celebrate.

One winner, Jonathan Braeck from Stenungssund in Sweden, bet 80 Swedish krona (£7) that Suárez would bite, and the 23-year-old substitute teacher is now set for a payout of 14,000 krona (£1,225) for his wager.

“First I thought I’d bet a little more, but a friend said I was just wasting my money,” a delighted Braeck told the SportExpressen newspaper. “When Italy took over the game you knew that he could go a little crazy,” he added. “I didn’t think that he would bite, but that he’d do something stupid. Then he did the best stupid thing that he could do.”

I don't like this kind of bets, there is enticement for in this case Suarez to influence the outcome. When it is on one's decision only, simple action and you can put a lot of money on it and at the same time the subject of the bet is something unethical, i don't like it. Needless the say, I don't like bets on politics, elections results. I don't like incentive for bad actions.

On he other hand crazy bets are god for laugh, but i like it better when nobody is harmed in any way.

Yeah, Suarez was surely influenced by 1200 pounds bet.

Greeks advancing is a disaster I agree. On top of that a missed chance for Bony to be a national hero in his home country as he scored at the time deciding goal. I watched the Colombia game most of the time though, they are great even with half of the lineup resting. And Mondragon made history!

I knew it. I come here with good intentions because I actually like your team and am eager to see how you finally make good decisions(as a team) and get better yet I get harassed by ignorrant fan. And now I'm gonna get reported because I'm ..."hostile". Great job sir, great job. Appreciate realistic Laker fan and don't take seriously Kobetards. Thank you.

I don't think there's a player I hate more than Samaras or a team I dislike more than Greece.

My own personal Samaras experience - last time the Greeks played at Riga, I was sitting in like the third row and it's one of those compact type of stadiums where you are right near the pitch. He got brought down close to the sideline, on our side of the pitch so after he spent more than enough time laying on the ground I naturally had to start cussing him out for being a diver. I continued on doing so until he belatedly got up and was helped off the pitch due to an injury. I felt like the **** I am.

Later it turned out he had broken his arm.

Sure. Just as someone didn't bother to get my point is not about some Swede guy's bet, I didn't bnother explaining myself and went the easy way. At least the retalation showed what is expected from us. Don't worry it is all roses here, I appologize

Did you guys notice the French fans singing the Marseillaise in the middle of the game? And not just singing it, but doing it so loud and accurate that you can easily hear it in your living room.

That was beautiful.

Thanks, I knew there had to be something to it. I should enjoy the World Cup more now as it goes along.

And there is actually a good reason for such ruling
