Photos : Luis Suarez Biting Chiellini Goes Virals

 

Yesterday, Liverpool and Uruguay striker, Luis Suarez has caused another storm, after apparently biting an opponent for the THIRD time in less than four years, in a controversial World Cup incident.

During Uruguay's must-win World Cup match against Italy, Suarez was involved in a clash with Italy's Giorgio Chiellini, and apparently took a bite of the Azzurri defender's shoulder. Television replays showed him apparently biting Giorgio Chiellini's shoulder and it happened about a minute before Uruguay's Diego Godín scored in the 81st, lifting Uruguay past Italy, 1-0.
Immediately after the clash, Chiellini pulled his shirt down to protest the bite, showing the referee the alleged bite mark on his shoulder but no action was taken by the official. Instead, Suarez, 27, went to ground holding his mouth, apparently suggesting he had been elbowed.

It didn't take long for Luis Suarez's bite on Giorgio Chiellini to viral - although perhaps people were expecting it.

Within moments of the Uruguay striker appearing to sink his teeth into Chiellini's shoulder fans were scanning the net for photos and video clips of the incident.

And quick-thinking internet wizzes were putting together their best efforts to create viral jokes soon after.

It wasn't the first time that the Uruguayan has sunk his teeth into an opponent. Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic and PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal were previous victims in 2013 and 2010 respectively.

FIFA has launched disciplinary proceedings against Luis Suarez .The maximum time FIFA are able to ban a player for is two years.

Uruguay and Suarez have until 5pm local time (9pm BST) on today to provide evidence. He could be face a lengthy ban that would keep him out of the last-16 match against Colombia and beyond should Uruguay progress.
