The face of the beautiful game suffered a huge gash with Uruguay’s football star Luis Suarez biting Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini during a FIFA World Cup Group ‘D’ game in Natal on Tuesday.

So what is the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the supreme football authority doing about it? It has opened disciplinary proceedings in the matter and will wait till 5 pm today (Brazil time) for Suarez and the Uruguayan Football Association to produce evidence to suggest that he should not be punished.
