It's been such a good world cup, it was only missing a pantomime villain and now we have it.
Suarez was gloating to the press about knocking England out, blaming the UK press for giving him a hard time in England (though he seems to ignore the thousands of English fans who still idolize him despite his moments of insanity - yes Dave, Scousers are people too..). To then go and bite someone in the very next game is incredible.
Cantona had his moments of madness, as did Di Canio, both great players who were deeply passionate and let the pressure and need to win get to them at times, but there is something cowardly and pathetic about biting. It's made all that much worse by the fact he never shows any remorse or even signs of guilt. It's impossible to like or respect Suarez. Even Maradonna had the balls to admit to cheating, even if he did claim it to be divine intervention.
This is the third time he has bitten another player in a game, not to mention the racists comments and deliberate handball which knocked Ghana out of the last World Cup. If you walked out into the streets and bit someone who wasn't physically harming you then you'd get a visit from the police and a caution at best. Second time you did it you'd be sitting in a court house trying to plead you way out of a short stint in jail. Third time and you'd either end up in jail or institutionalized.
