Where are you from Stoneage?

I'm from Sweden, Varilla. Look, I just think biting is out of the order on a football pitch. Like I'm sure most people do. In your comment you downplayed the danger with it. That's why I made my comment. I'm sure you're a sound and good guy otherwise. It was just that statement I repelled. I hope you have changed your opinion on this matter. But I can't force you to do so. Take care. By the way, which country are you from?

I´m not putting into consideration if we /me/you are god guys or not. I feel great empathize for everyone in this forum because of our passion for the Stones. People here do the most weird things in their following of the band, etc. Uruguayans like me, and like Suarez, do the same for football

Me, like all uruguayans, have this giant passion for our national sport, just like you and me have for the Stones. Probably very difficult to understand for a Nordic. I can tell. I personally have great Nordic friends and i know your ways.We are just different.This not make better one or another. I can tell that this biting, while not right, is much more harmless than other actions very dangerous between colleagues.
Suarez plays like a fan, that´s why we love him. He can make mistakes, but he gives it all...
Come on, we are talking about FOOTBALL in this thread not petty morals.
He is a transgresor, just like the Stones once were. Great courage.
On the other hand i can tell he is a consummatte pro, very low profile off the field, wife and two little kids, living quietly, and making lots of good actions besides the sport.
Fifa just killed him. 9 games, 4 months, cannot even get into a stadium anywhere in the worl, kind of criminal...

I'm afraid your reasoning doesn't make sense to me at all, Varilla. I can't see how any team would benefit by having a vampire in their team in the long run. Good luck in the 1/8-finals anyway.

If you were walking down the street and someone jumped on your shoulder and bit you, that would be criminal behaviour (provided they couldn't prove he was a lunatic).

So yes, in your own words, kind of criminal...

Mr DJA, it's nice to read your comments here! And it's nice to know you enjoy this sport that takes alot of passion to some of us.

Belgium didn't impressed me that much, so the USA has a chance in his next match, it will be all or nothing of course.

Yeah, the Red Devils don't impress much, 3 Wins, allowed 1 goal.

Dismiss Belgium at your own risk.

Semi Finalists, '86, Finalists, Euro Cup '80. They have a great tradition.

You posted a clip of Germany - Austria. Although Austria has a bunch of letters in common with Algeria, it is a very different country...

Chiellini was not walking in a street. He was playing, against Suarez, a final in a WORLD CUP. VERY different.

I must admit that THIS THREAD at this site has made World Cup Soccer/Football even better than other years because of y'all's passion for not only the tournament but also the sport. While I can enjoy watching the games simply because the level of play is SO HIGH, I can only wish that I had access to all of the back-stories and history that y'all are so familiar with. Stuff like that adds a subtext to the matches that I miss out on. When I see people going back and forth about things that happend in previous decades and generations, I just smile and enjoy the banter. I can have those conversations in USA NBA, MLB, NFL & College Football & Basketball but definately not in international Soccer. So I've got to thank y'all for allowing me to exist somewhat on the edge your conversations. I may not be able to keep up but I am having fun "lurking"

I actually have fun with these big sporting events in sports that I don't follow. I'll watch the Major Tournaments in Golf & Tennis although I'll never watch a "regular" tournament in either sport. The Olympics are more fun than I should be allowed (considering how ignorant I am in regards to some of the sports!).

Thanks for the insight that the USA actually has a chance against Belgium. That's good to know. It's always mote fun to root for a win than just to hope we don't get embarassed! I'm already trying to line up my Saturday "honey-do" chore list to allow me to watch the games tomorrow... and we're not even playing!

With all apologies to my Belgian friends... GO USA!!!

Peace,
Mr DJA

Some fan was shining a laser at the Russian Goalkeeper as well last night, that is intolerable and unacceptable. In a football-mad country like Brazil, it could have been anyone but that's really bad as well. I hope they catch the scoundrel who did it and we know who it was.

Holy Crap! Is that picture real? How strong must that laser have been to be that viewable at what must have been some considerable distance. I won't deny trying to get any competitive advantage that I can within the rules but for a spectator to think that it would be acceptable for them to interfere? NO. I have no problem with making as much noise as possible but to try and inject yourself into the match itself, WRONG. Maybe it's not technicly "bad sprtsmanship" but, in my mind, it's definately "bad fanmanship".

Peace,
Mr DJA
