LS on poss FIFA action "I don't know anything, if FIFA analyse each case separately it's going to be complicated"
— Matt Critchley (@MattCritchley1) June 24, 2014 Video showed Suárez appear to bite the shoulder of Chiellini, causing the Italian defender to react in shock, pain or both. Chiellini repeatedly tried to show the match referee the spot on his shoulder where he claimed Suárez bit him, but there was no punishment handed out for the incident on the pitch.
FIFA will now review the referee’s report and video evidence before determining if any action will be taken against the Uruguay striker.
