Re: USA vs Germany - Escape to Victory
For those who aren't keeping an eye on the pregame coverage, FIFA has handed down the penalties for Luis Suarez' biting incident against Italy.
Suarez is fined ~$112,000.00 (100,000.00 Swiss Francs) - the only part of the penalty which can be appealed - as well as banned from Uruguay's next nine International Matches and all FIFA affiliated Soccer activity for the next four months - which means a handful of Liverpool's EPL games and half of their Champion's League season. He isn't even allowed to enter the Stadiums during that time.
Pretty heavy penalties but, in my opinion, not at all uncalled-for given this being his third such offense.
