Uruguay could have been in the mix were it not for Suarez's moment of pure idiocy and viciousness. He will probably get banned for the remainder of the tournament. Nasty little shit.0

Suarez life ban required. F@ck Liverpools lost income.0

Hmm judging by his golden boot price looks like he might be in trouble 55/1900

Leaving aside national bias, there is surely a case for WC Group D being one of the strongest groups in modern times. Am I just biased? Neither England nor Italy looked a bad team to me, given a more normal draw they both should have progressed.
Elsewhere in the tournament, Spain's group was very, very tricky. The difference is in Group D that all four teams were very decent. Australia not so much in Spain's group.0 -

Costa Rica were crap today
Uruguay are nasty thugs
Italy faded after game one
It was a poor group and neither Uruguay or Costa Rica will feature in the Semis (or probably the quarters)0 -
Hardly a mark on his shoulder - I think Chiellini made a meal of it.0
-
Did Suarez's mother put him on the bottle at a very early age?0
-
Could Suarez be banned from the rest of the World Cup?0
-
Costa Rica only needed a draw to win the group, they also didn't want to pick up any injuries or more than perhaps 1 or 2 yellow cards - they got a point and picked up 1 yellow, no injuries so far as I can tell.
Job done.0 -
If people cannot be bothered to make even the most basic security on their mobiles,then they deserve all they get. Calling it Hacking is too simplistic,it is just connecting in to mobiles with the default pin.
Even government ministers," Fatty Prescott" left their mobiles unprotected.
There should be no compensation for incompetence.
It may be more complicated,if so apologies.0 -
I have to admire Suarez. He embodies the Shankly philosophy that "football isn't a life and death matter. It's far more important."0

Sporting of Suarez. Yes he just bit someone. Again again. But in doing so he takes the media firestorm away from the apocalyptic England team.0

AndyJS said:
Could Suarez be banned from the rest of the World Cup?
Donning my ref's cap, Andy, I should say not.
Unless the bite was severe enough to leave a clear impression, the evidence would be lacking. He did however clearly stick his head into the Italian and for that he can be punished by FIFA, retrospectively. I should think they will penalise him for violent conduct and leave it at that. I'm not sure what the tarif is for this World Cup - anything from a one to three match ban, I think.
More than that would be excessive unless there's clear evidence of biting, which I suspect there is not.

It is a bit like celebrating Mike Tyson's conviction whilst ignoring the aquittal against the "Head-tree Kennedy" who was - objectively - more culpable of the same and/or worse crime. If only we had a Bill-of-Rights under-pinned by a Rule-of-Law....

your prime minister was a criminal and invaded a country illegally.

Mr Pubgoer, your comment reminds me that long, long ago in my student days one of the pharmaceutical papers published a slightly tongue in cheek article about trials of aphrodisiacs. A friend and I wrote in, offering to assist in any such trials. As I recall we got a somewhat frosty reply, to the effect that clinical trials were a serious matter.

Apparently not and understandably so.Pulpstar said:Did the referee see the Suarez incident btw ?
Play was continuing on the left wing when the incident happened round about the penalty spot. The Assistant Referee was on the right wing so the the Referee was correctly covering play towards the left. He would at best have had a peripheral view of the incident.
The Assistant would have had a clearer view and would have seen the contact and the two players go down. In theory he could have alerted the referee and indicated a penalty, but that's a big call and AR's are very reluctant to intervene in that way. He would have been some forty yards away and at that distance it's hard to be sure unless the offence is very clear.

Britain's surveillance agency GCHQ, with aid from the US National Security Agency, intercepted and stored the webcam images of millions of internet users not suspected of wrongdoing, secret documents reveal.Smarmeron said:"Theresa May: There is no surveillance state"

GCHQ files dating between 2008 and 2010 explicitly state that a surveillance program codenamed Optic Nerve collected still images of Yahoo webcam chats in bulk and saved them to agency databases, regardless of whether individual users were an intelligence target or not.
