Russia comes up flat in its own tournament. Salah carries Egypt out of the group behind a strong Uruguay squad, who isn't too troubled in any of the games.
 
I don't really know anything about Egypt except they have Omar Garber and Salah. If the reports are true that he has a disclosed shoulder then he is probably out.
 
Onside... this feels like Brazil all over again. Felt Croatia got cheated against them due to horrendous calls by the refs.

His bite reflex shouldn't get activated until at least the knockout rounds.

The fact that he hasn’t been banned for life is offensive. Honestly- biting someone is assault and he’s a repeat offender. Suarez is a total POS and FIFA is an enabler.
 
I think they did actually call it on that play - the linesman just kept his flag down at first to see how things unfolded, which is SOP in the VAR era.

The 4th goal was also offside but not called. Video review bullshit at the biggest stage.

I love suarez. I love that he's a filthy player. These guys make a shit ton of money. They can take a few bites as a job hazard. Plus its not like he tore a huge chunk of flesh away, he gnashed down and and left some teeth marks. If they guy was out there like he was on bath salts eating peoples faces I'd say ok lets think about perma-banning him, but for me I love these little antics. And he's super talented to boot.... like wtf man you don't need to do this you score at will, that just makes the zaniness even better. I don't need the whole world to be like suarez, one is enough, but I get a kick out of him.
