Luis Suarez is an exceptional soccer player, potentially the purest goal-scorer the game has right now. He's also crazy competitive. He's got a history of literally biting the members of his opposition during games. It's a weird thing. He might've just done it again if this Vine of his face, uh, colliding with Giorgio Chiellini is any indication.This Vine is going to get picked apart like the Zapruder film.Uruguay went on to beat Italy 1-0 to advance.And Luis Suarez lives to do something weird, again, in at least one more game, it appears.UPDATE: Here's a screen grab that's about as clear as it's going to get that this is a bite. Expect to hear FIFA's response to this soon.
I'm not sure if that's a man biting another man on a soccer pitch during a match. It certainly looks like it could be a man biting another man on a soccer pitch during a match. At the very least, it's a super-aggro move that Suarez got away with completely.
