As Iran crashed out of the tournament their fans let us know what they think of the world
cup
This Stoke fan managed to photobomb a picture of Messi
And as the Suarez controversy rages on we want to know, Is there anything crazier than
biting someone in front of millions of people? Guess it depends which fetish website you're
on. Well apparently there is, imagining you saw someone bite someone in front of millions
of people.
That's amongst a whole load of bullshit being spun by the Uruguay camp including the photoshop
conspiracy theory
It's the World Cup news!
So the Uruguay camp claim that the latest Suarez bite didn't actually happen, lining
up Father Christmas, the Easter Bunny and some lizard from the Bilderberg Group as expert
witnesses.
The Uruguayan FA president, Wilmar Valdez says the proof against Suárez is not "convincing."
Let's get this straight right now Wilmar -- Wayne Rooney playing on the right isn't convincing,
Vin Diesel in a Jane Austen adaptation isn't convincing.
Suarez-chomping-Chiellini? That's pretty convincing.
Valdez continued "We've prepared another video of the game in which we discovered there was
other behaviour similar to Suárez's which did not generate a similar reaction from the
press" -- which is Uruguayan, we presume for Mario Balotelli.
The Uruguay captain, Diego Lugano went for the vintage Jedi Mind Trick defense claiming
the television pictures of the incident "don't show anything" and were "nothing important".
FIFA promising to resolve the case urgently, gave a press conference reminding everyone
how vital it was for that the matter to be resolved quickly. Then they broke for dinner,
dancing, and cigars, reconvening in the morning.
FIFA are more than a little bit stuck between a rock and a hard place with this, as any
ban greater than 6 matches, could face an appeal which would mean that Suarez wouldn't
immediately be removed from view. So any significant Suarez related action during the rest of the
World Cup-- like biting someone else's shoulder, or scoring a goal - may have a major impact
on the destiny of the trophy from a player that would later be banned. FIFA know they
need to act strongly but by doing so may indavertently cause more controversy.
Speaking of which, the Ghanaian government has decided to send a plane full of cash over
to its team to the tune of $3million dollars to stop a player revolt. Situation normal
then.
Here's the cash making its way through Brazil. 3 million to keep the Ghananians sweet? Which
got us thinking, just how much would it take to do the same for our all conquering heroes,
Team England? We sent Marek Larwood to find out.
The Ghana squad got paid £3million for their World Cup appearance. How much would the England squad be paid? I went to find out.
I think they should actually give money back. I don't know what they get paid but it's too much.
I would pay their expenses and it should be pride to wear the shirt. You shouldn't not have to get paid to play for England.
They shouldn't need to be paid. But let's give them ten thousand each.
A penny. For the whole team? Yes.
I just like meeting guys. Back to you.
And the manager exodus continues unabated with Carlos Queiroz, quitting Iran in the
least surprising walkout since any of Donald Trumps ex wives left him....as the
Bosnian game played out and Queiroz realised his fate, he seemed to reach a zen like peace
with it all
Add his name to the list of managers walking following poor World Cup displays that includes
Japans Alberto Zaccheroni, Ivory Coasts Sabri Lamouchi, Italy's Cesare Prandelli and Honduras'
Luis Fednando Suarez. Roy Hodgson is 66.
The United States must draw or beat Germany to be certain of advancing to the next round.
Team USA have some German talent of their own with their squad featuring five German-American
players.
Head coach Jurgen Klinsmann won a World Cup with West Germany in 1990 while four of their
five dual-nationality players compete in the Bundesliga.
A point would result in a second successive last 16 berth for Team USA, something never achieved in their history.
Ok that is just about it for today's news. What do you think about Luis Suarez?
Let's say he gets banned, appeals the ban and is allowed to play in the rest of the tournament. You call that justice?
