Never mind this was the third incident of biting an opponent in four years to have blighted Suarez’s career. Rather, the established order was ganging up against this FIFA 15 ultimate team and their talisman. The suspicion is that the striker will be greeted in his homeland as a returning hero rather than a pariah whose latest spasm of indiscipline has most likely wrecked Uruguay’s chances at this FIFA. FIFA's punishment on Suarez is too severe The ramifications of Suarez’s gnaw at Giorgio Chiellini’s left shoulder during the victory over Italy this week are still being digested around the world. A night of deliberation by FIFA’s six-strong disciplinary committee, chaired by the Swiss lawyer Claudio Sulser, had culminated in fut 15 coins the announcement, delivered in a rather sterile media auditorium deep in the bowls of the Maracana, at a little after 10.30am on Thursday.Their message was clear enough. The Dutch league had banned the striker for seven matches for a similar offence on PSV Eindhoven’s Otman Bakkal in November 2010. The Premier League had opted for 10 when his victim was Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic in April 2013. FIFA, an organisation attempting to retain the pretence of occupying the moral high ground despite the claim and counter-claim surrounding the award of these finals to Qatar in eight years’ time, will not tolerate such behaviour. Image, after all, is everything.Arguably as shocking as the offence itself are the numbers which will dominate Suarez’s immediate future: a four-month ban from “all FIFA activities”.
