Uruguay Through to Knockout Round by Skin of Suarez's Teeth
Maybe Luis Suarez is really crying out for a dentist. He’s got some overbite, obviously.
Suarez is the Uruguayan star with a Dracula-like penchant for biting
opponents—he’s been suspended twice for it, once in 2010 and again in
2013. This time, on the World Cup stage, he apparently got his choppers
into Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini in front of the Italian goal, in a scene
witnessed by everyone except the ref.
A minute later, his teammate Diego Godin used the legal part of his
noggin to head a corner kick past Italian keeper Gianluigi Buffon to
give the South Americans a 1-0 win. Italy had already been reduced to 10
men because of a red card for a non-biting foul.
Uruguay now advances to the round of 16, although that could likely be without Suarez– unless they bring a muzzle.
