"It was reported that the entire Italy squad waited in the dressing room for Prandelli to finish his Press conference before getting on the team bus – all except for Balotelli, who sat on the bus by himself."

Fifa has announced it will open an investigation into allegations Uruguay striker Luis Suarez bit Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini on the shoulder in Tuesday's World Cup encounter in Natal.

A FIFA spokesperson told Press Association Sport: "We are awaiting the official match reports and will gather all the necessary elements in order to evaluate the matter."

Celebrating afterwards was quite shameful but don't think same can be said about the handball itself. Shocking yes, but a smart piece of thinking on his part to give his team a chance to stay in the world cup.

 

He got red carded, opposition team got a penalty, not his problem that they missed it.

 

You see players diving quite regularly to win penalties for their teams in every other match, atleast in this case he was punished for cheating. In most cases of diving they just get away scot free while earning their team an undeserving penalty.

So, this was probably Suarez's last match in this world cup?

 

It better be. Otherwise FIFA is up for a huge amount of backlash.

 

And I know money > morality for just about everyone these days, but what kind of club/country would be okay including such an offender in their playing XI.

 

On that note, did Pepe's ban get extended beyond one match, or is he playing against Ghana?
