Biting claims aside, Italy cannot escape the fact that their World Cup is over.

After beating England in their opening match, the four-time champions failed to score against Costa Rica and Uruguay, losing both matches 1-0 and coach Cesare Prandelli says he will resign.

Italy had Claudio Marchisio sent off against Uruguay early in the second half.

Today's papers in Uruguay haven't hit newsstands yet but our colleagues from BBC Monitoring have been keeping an eye on how the Suarez storm is being reported online in South America.

El Observador, external suggests the English media, more than the Italian, have already begun "a campaign" against the 27-year-old striker.

The UNoticias website, external says: "The photos of Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini showing bite marks on his shoulders are circulating more than that of Luis Suarez on social media, but FIFA cameras also caught the swollen cheekbone Suarez… but nobody is talking about how the Liverpool striker was injured."

La Red21, external say Suarez is "again immersed in a media storm" after the incident.

"You know Fifa are taking the Luis Suarez case seriously when they press release that disciplinary proceedings have opened just before 01:00 Brazil time.

"Regular daily Fifa media briefing from 14:30 BST. In meantime, worth noting Fifa impose six-game ban for spitting. A benchmark for biting?"

It is not the first time Luis Suarez has been involved in such controversy. BBC Sport's Ben Smith offers an insight into the storm.

Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer has called for Suarez to be given the strongest punishment possible.

Here's the moment in question - see for yourself.

There's only one place to start. On a night England signed off their dismal World Cup campaign with a goalless draw, Luis Suarez stole the limelight by appearing to bite Giorgio Chiellini as Uruguay progressed at Italy's expense.

Fifa have opened disciplinary proceedings against the Liverpool striker, with the Uruguayan FA having until 21:00 BST to present their case.

Suarez last night told Uruguayan television: "There are things that happen on the pitch and you should not make such a big deal out of them."

Hello! Fangs for joining us the morning after another night of high drama in the World Cup in which every match was bursting with action and incident (except England's, naturally).

We'll be getting our teeth into all of that, taking a look at the gnashional newspapers as well as salivating over the prospect of another set of intriguing fixtures.

Rubbish puns aside, why would you chews to be anywhere else?
