World Cup 2014: 25 Most Memorable Moments
3. The Suarez Bite
After Suarezs best season yet for Liverpool and scoring a brace to effectively knocked England out of the World Cup, you might have thought that the Uruguayan had turned a corner and his previous antics were a thing of the past.
In Uruguays final group game they were 1-0 against the Italians, then Suarez decided to take a bite of Giorgio Chiellinis shoulder. This is not the first time Suarez has done this, he bit Ottaman Bakkal of PSV while at Ajax, resulting in a 7 game ban and in the Premier League he got banned for 10 games when he took a bite of Branislav Ivanovic. For his latest offence Suarez got his sternest punishment yet as he was banned from all footballing activity for 4 months.
This latest moment of stupidity proved one moment too many for Liverpool and quickly after Barcelona, who were not put off by the Uruguayans actions, declared their interest and later signed the striker for £75million. But he will have to wait till late October for his debut for the Catalan giants.
Suarez returned to Uruguay to a heros welcome, many thinking that the ban was overly harsh. An apology was later issued to Chiellini for his actions, though he previously tried to claim that he didnt bite the defender but just collide with his shoulder.
