Luis Suarez Bit Someone Again. [UPDATE: Suspended For 9 Matches]

Ugh, did Luis Suarez just bite some dude? Yes, yes he did.

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.

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.

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.
