Luis Suarez Doesn't Learn

Luis Suarez, to many people, is a scumbag. Despite currently being one of the world's best strikers, he does things that make you say "What drugs is this guy on". Before today, he was previously suspended twice for separate biting incidents when he was playing for both Ajax and Liverpool, respectively. You would think that he wouldn't be stupid enough to do it again, would he? Well, unless you were living under a rock, it happened again.

Near the end of the World Cup group stage match between Italy and Uruguay, there was an off-the-ball incident in the Italian 18-yard box where Luis Suarez apparently bit the shoulder of the Italian defender, Giorgio Chiellini and then fell down clutching his teeth. The referee and his assistant didn't see the incident and didn't issue a booking to Suarez, despite Chiellini showing a clear bite mark on his shoulder.

Two minutes later, Uruguay scored on a corner to win 1-0 and advance to the Round of 16.

When I was watching the match, I initially thought that Suarez tried to headbutt Chiellini, but the replays have shown that there was some sort of biting motion that was going on. Luis Suarez, you just don't learn, do you? This is the third time you've bitten someone in a match. Even Mike Tyson only ever bit one person in a boxing match. You knew you got lengthy suspensions for your previous biting incidents. Why would you even think that it was a good idea to do it again? Is biting someone a Uruguayan custom for showing respect?

With your past behaviour, I'm not even shocked or surprised. I would just like to know what went through your head when you sank your teeth into Chiellini's shoulder. Were you trying to win a penalty? Because that bite (and your subsequent dive) was a terrible way to get one. Were you trying to get in the head of Chiellini? What you did could work, but it is a very slim chance. I don't know what was going through your head, and I most likely never will.

There is no defending your actions, and to those who say that Chiellini rammed his shoulder into Suarez's mouth (lets face it, most Liverpool fans will try to defend him), you're a colossal idiot. Watch the replay. As for his punishment, I really hope that FIFA investigate this incident and hand Suarez a strong punishment for being a habitual biter. He has to be thrown out of the World Cup, and be banned 1-2 years from all football-related activities. Also, make sure that Suarez gets the help he really needs, because with all his incidents, surely there must be some deeper issues he is facing.

This is going to go down as the biggest moment of the 2014 World Cup. Already I've seen hundreds of Suarez-related memes about biting and hunger in general, and I've seen food companies jump on the Suarez bandwagon sending tweets mentioning Suarez in order to get clicks.

Overall, to sum up what I said above, I'm not surprised that Suarez did something like this, because of his past behaviour. He's already my most hated footballer, and this incident has sent my hate for him into the stratosphere. I hope FIFA has some balls, and suspends him for a very long time. Honestly, I hope they suspend him for this upcoming season, from all footballing activities.

I didn't think he would do it again, but guess what?
