Uruguay's Luis Suarez appeared to bite an opponent during the final minutes of his team's critical Group D match with Italy on Tuesday at the Estádio das Dunas in Natal, Brazil.
The incident happened during a scuffle with Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini with the score deadlocked at 0-0 in the 80th minute. The players collided while competing for a corner kick and Suarez clearly threw his head in Chiellini's direction.

The action of the Uruguay forward is not at all a strange one. He had done such before.
April 21, 2013: He was suspended 10 games by England's
FA for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in a league game in
the 2012-13 season. Liverpool drew 2-2 on a game-tying goal by Suarez.
"I was angry after giving away a penalty -- I completely lost it,"
Suarez said later in a newspaper interview. Suarez had been shown a
yellow card for a different incident in the match.
Nov. 20, 2010: While playing for Ajax, he received a
seven-match ban for biting PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal in a game. The
game finished 0-0. Suarez was not booked in the match.
Suarez, one of the world's most devastating strikers, scored both of
Uruguay's goals in a 2-1 win over England on Thursday. Afterward, he
credited his mistreatment by the English media as his inspiration for
revenge. It was unclear to what he was referring, but many believed it
was Thursday's front page of The Sun, which made light of his toothy history
