"These are exceptional circumstances, it is the third time he has bitten someone. It is ridiculous.

"I think Liverpool will be panicking, they have a player worth maybe £60m and could be banned for the whole season.

"Three strikes you have to be out. Biting someone at a tournament of this prestige, they have to throw the book at him and lock him up forever."

Luis Suarez's controversial incident with Italy's Giorgio Chiellini has sparked a huge Twitter reaction.

BBC commentator in Natal

"No matter what TV screen you look at on this planet over the next 24 hours, you'll be seeing replays of Luis Suarez's mouth and Giorgio Chiellini's shoulder.

Former England captain Rio Ferdinand

"Tell me Suarez didn't eat someone. He was the hero a couple a days ago."

Nick Varney:, external Luis Suarez never learns. World class but has to be facing a 20-odd match ban now.

Dazzler:, external If Suarez was banned for 10 games in the Premier League, surely he should miss the rest of the World Cup and then some?

"Luis Suarez was kicked, he was chased, he was pulled and he hadn't reacted. But he reacted at the end and he is not allowed to do that. If that is a bite then he is going to be a out for a long time. Even if it was just a head butt, he is going to be suspended for the next game."

Jerry Elumeze:, external Italy deserve to lose for their negative football, and Luis Suarez deserves a life ban from football.

Niklas Lanwehr:, external Refereeing at this World Cup has gone from bad to worse. The Claudio Marchisio red card was very harsh, Luis Suarez should be off, Uruguay lucky to advance.

This has been a World Cup to savour. It's been raining goals and the tournament has been lit up by a catalogue of magic moments.

But this was an ugly game. In addition to the Luis Suarez incident, there were free-kicks from the first minute to the last.

"Apart from anything else, what Luis Suarez did is a sending off anyway, whether it was a bite or not. It was off the ball and the officials didn't see it."
