1. Luis Suarez Bites...Again
As if the flesh of Otman Bakkal and Branislav Ivanovic weren’t enough, Luis Suarez opted for some Italian in the final match of the group stages. Frustrated by the defensive making of Giorgio Chiellini, Suarez reverted to his old self, sinking his teeth in the defender's shoulder. He escaped punishment and Uruguay advanced to the second round, but FIFA would have the last laugh. After reviewing the footage, the governing body handed down a stiff punishment. Suarez is now serving a nine-match suspension, including a four month ban from all football activities.
