Biting incident: Luis Suarez fined £66,000, banned for 4months and from entering any stadium

Luis Suárez was doing exceedingly great in the tournament, his top form and excellent performances in Uruguay games were hailed by fans and football lovers across the globe until the ugly incident happened. For biting an opponent (Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini) in World Cup clash, the Liverpool striker has been handed a 4-month ban, fined £66,000 and banned from entering any stadium by FIFA committee.
Claudio Sulser, Chairman, FIFA independent disciplinary committee said: “Such behaviour cannot be tolerated on any football pitch, and in particular not at a Fifa World Cup when the eyes of millions of people are on the stars on the field. The Disciplinary Committee took into account all the factors of the case and the degree of Mr Suárez’s guilt in accordance with the relevant provisions of the code. The decision comes into force as soon it is communicated.”
His 9-game suspension for biting is longest EVER in the World Cup. Even if he appeals successfully, he will not be able play in any matches. Luckily, his ban will not affect any possible transfer, so he stands a chance of moving to another club next season, for now, he is on Barcelona’s radar.
Meanwhile that’s the third time he’ll be biting an opponent, I repeat, he should have his front teeth cropped.

"I'd rather receive a bite than a leg breaking challenge" Joey Barton rises in defence of Luis Suarez after latest biting incident

Finally someone from football world feels Suarez’s pain. Queen Park Rangers (QPR) midfielder, Joey Barton has defended Uruguay striker, Luis Suarez in the heat of criticisms from fans and football lovers all over his latest biting incident. You would recall that the Liverpool playmaker sunk his teeth into the back of Giorgio Chiellini when his team clashed with Italy few days back.
The English Footballer’s take is that nobody is perfect and a leg breaking tackle is worse than biting. He added he is a winner and his punishment isn’t the end of the world.

“He’s at it again! Should Suarez face a lengthy ban of 2+ years? I love Suarez. I love his passion for the game. I would have him on my team everyday of the week. I am also aware you can’t defend him here. All things considered I’d rather receive a bite than a leg breaking challenge. Whilst he should be punished, it is not the end of the world. He’s a winner. If that means he occasionally steps over the line between right and wrong, than thats what comes with the territory. Nobody’s perfect.” He wrote on his twitter page.

Toyin Aimakhu says her marriage has cost her many jobs

Well, not that she now regrets it, infact, she’s enjoying every moment of her marital life. The fair-skinned role interpreter in a recent interview with PUNCH revealed that she’s had to turn down so many scripts because of her marital status.
“I have lost some jobs as a result of my marital status but it is worth it because you can’t buy a good home or compare it to anything in this world. You can always get another job after you lose one. But once you lose your home it is difficult to get another good home.

I take up controversial roles wisely and can no longer go the extra mile with male colleagues on set or take up bitchy roles. My husband can take up any role and he knows how to handle them. My man is very decent and does whatever he feels is right. After all, location is location while home is home.”

"We respected Argentina too much. Messi is from another planet" – Stephen Keshi

With that stellar performance, beautiful brace and three man of the match awards (the first in this tournament), one cannot agree less with Super Eagles Head Coach, Stephen Keshi. The former Nigerian player in his post-match press conference heaped praises on the Argentine star who scored twice to keep his team at the top spot.

“Lionel Messi is so good he must be from Jupiter. Messi is one hell of a player. There are other high calibre players, but Messi is from another planet, he’s from Jupiter I think.” Keshi affirmed.
He also identified Nigeria’s shortcomings in the match and implored players to put in their best in the next game, which is against France.

“We respected Argentina too much. We relaxed on the second half, tried to play our game and improved then. I hope we can continue like this on the rest of the tournament. We know France is a very good team, they play very well. We know about them and we’ll have to prepare for that.” He added.
