2014 playing for Uruguay at the Brazil World Cup |
For the third time, Suarez was accused of biting an opponent when he appeared to dig his teeth into Chiellini's shoulder in Tuesday's World Cup group game in Brazil between Uruguay and Italy. For the third time, the referee failed to pick up the incident but TV replays may again be the downfall of Suarez.
Suarez was blocked off by Chiellini while going for the ball in the penalty area and then appeared to bury his mouth in the Italian's shoulder. Both players went down, with Suarez holding his mouth. Chiellini also pulled down his shirt to show an apparent mark on his left shoulder. About a minute later, Uruguay scored for a 1-0 win to eliminate Italy.
Chiellini said the referee not sending off Suarez was "ridiculous."
"It was absolutely clear," he said of the bite. "There's even a mark."
