Luis Suarez bites Italian defender at the World Cup, Uruguay advances

On the world’s biggest stage with his team facing elimination, Uruguay’s Luis Suarez bit an opponent at the World Cup. Suarez, who earned a 10-match ban in 2013 for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic, bit Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini late into Uruguay’s final group game. Suarez also earned a seven-match ban in 2010 for biting a player in the Eredivisie.

Wayne Rooney: England are too nice to win World Cup, we need to develop 'nastiness' in way we play


Rooney said England might have to become more cynical to win the World Cup. “I think you look at teams who have won the tournament over previous years and you can see that nastiness in them,” he explained.
“I think we need to get that in us. Maybe we’re too honest, I feel, as a team. So I think, in terms of Uruguay the other night, they stopped the game, they committed I don’t know how many fouls.
“Clever fouls, really, to slow the game down. I think we’re a bit honest in terms of the way we play. You see players surrounding the referees — I’m not saying Uruguay did that — but I’m the same now. I want to win the game.
“I got kicked 10 times and I don’t think there was a yellow card given to an opponent. We try and be honest, but maybe that’s a fault of ours.
