I think slow-mo always gives a harsher impression. In reality, I think he was just stepping over the ball to plant his leg to turn, but the other guy's knee happened to enter the same space. It's reckless, but not vicious or overly dangerous (like a studs-up tackle, for example) and the position on the field was meaningless. I think it was more deserving of a yellow.

I've reconsidered my stance on this foul.

He lost control and his attempt to recover/block the ball from the other player was clearly reckless and intentional (if not vicious...more like instinctual).
 
I don't understand that picture. Was that a bet that Suarez would bite someone? And someone bet yes and won a bunch of NOK? Whatever that even is...


edit: apparently a NOK is a Norwegian Krone, which is worth about 0.16 USD. So, he won less than $1,000. Not a bad bet though. I surely would have taken it had I been presented the chance.
 
god damn he got 175 to 1 odds on that? now I'm thinking its a conspiracy! Suarez just made a hundred mil for that bite! A Nordic gambling ring conspiracy! Hm...actually that may be german and not some nordic country.

The currency is Norwegian, so I would assume the language is as well. I don't know of any countries that speak Norwegian as their official language other than Norway, but I could be ignorant on that matter.
 
Norwegian. Will Suarez bite an opponent? Yes. They bet 32 kronor. At 175:1 odds they won 5,600.

Haven't read any Norwegian in about 20 years....so I am sure i am missing something.
