Suarez should receive a 5-10 match ban from Uruguay for that biting. I just do not get it either, why do it?

That seems a bit generous to me. He did it before and got a 10 match ban for the second instance. Doing it a third time in the biggest event in the world where everyone's watching and, well, let's say I won't be surprised if he doesn't play at all next season.

Well, the big thing to me is he should not play the rest of this tournament.  Beyond that the number of games is open to interpretation.  If you suspend him for 15 or 20 I am not sure if would be getting to Copa America or 2018 Qualifying or not.  I think FIFA needs to at the ery least make some sort of statement about this kind of behavior which is habitual now from Suarez.

He could actually get a season long ban at this point, 3rd time he's done such a severe offence most players learn their lesson the first time but he's done it 3 times now with the latest incident in a WC. He must lack some serious self control and have a bizarre mentality as most people tend to just throw punches and kicks when angered, Liverpool must be face/palming hard right now thinking "Not Again" as he's not only let them down but Uruguay as well. The sad thing is I thought he'd learned his lesson in the same way Cantona did after his ban, coming back and driving his team but Suarez has gone and jumped into a deeper hole.
