Rio de Janeiro: Brazil great Ronaldo believes Luis Suarez biting an opponent was terrible for football at a World Cup of "wonderful surprises."

Speaking after the Uruguay forward's nine-match, four-month ban was announced yesterday, Ronaldo said football must be used to benefit the world. "People have to be held responsible and accountable for what they do in the game," Ronaldo said through a translator. "Those that do not follow this have to be punished."
