Uruguay dump Italy out

Luis Suarez shocks the World Cup with a new biting storm as Uruguay sensationally dump ten-man Italy out of the 32-nation tournament with a 1-0 victory in Natal, Brazil, on Tuesday. Uruguay captain Diego Godin headed home an 81st-minute goal to secure a 1-0 in the gritty Group D battle that saw Italy eliminated in the first round for the 2nd straight World Cup. But Italy’s stunning exit was overshadowed by an incredible incident involving Suarez – already banned twice before for biting opponents – just moments before Godin’s winner. Television replays showed Suarez appearing to attempt to sink his teeth into Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini’s shoulder in an off-the-ball incident. Chiellini angrily remonstrated with Mexican referee Marco Rodriguez, pulling his shirt off his shoulder to show red marks on his neck. Afterwards a disgusted Chiellini told Italian television: ‘He bit me, it’s clear, I still have the mark. The referee should have blown his whistle and given him a red card,’ he added. Suarez sought to play down the incident in comments to Uruguayan television, claiming Chiellini had barged him. ‘There are things that happen on the pitch and you should not make such a big deal out of them,’ Suarez said. But despite Suarez’s comments, video evidence of the incident appears damning. FIFA said it would study the referee's report and the match video. ‘We are awaiting the official match reports and will gather all the necessary elements in order to evaluate the matter,’ FIFA spokeswoman Delia Fischer said, according to AFP.
