To be honest, it really hurt. Above all because I am not like that, I am a softy and my family know that. My kids know that their dad is a human being and he makes mistakes and they know anyone can make mistakes.
She asked me [about biting Chiellini] and I denied it. I had trouble believing it, let alone saying it. I couldn't understand it. I hurt her because she knew I wasn't like that. And that hurts. Everyone has their way of playing, their character. Chiellini has harboured no ill will toward Suarez since their high-profile encounter in Brazil. However, Suarez admitted he has not sought out the Juventus defender to discuss it. I didn't understand it. Not at all," he said.
I am aware that I made a mistake but I am also aware I am a human being. They have to put themselves in someone's skin and realise how it hurts. He has already been linked with moves to Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Sponsor Adidas said it "fully supports Fifa's decision" and will not use Suarez for any more marketing purposes during the World Cup. These comments are now closed. Comments Join the conversation.

They could have shown themselves to have real class by sending him home instantly but instead insisted nothing had happened, despite videos and photos to the contrary.
They now have tarnished their reputations along with Suarez. Comment posted by U, at 26 Jun U If a dog bites someone, it's put down. If you bite someone at work, you're let go. If you bite someone in the world's largest sporting event, you get banned for a paltry amount of time and fined what equates to pocket change for the offender.
To be honest, I don't think this goes far enough. This is vile behaviour that I do not accept from my 3 year old. He's been given "punishments" twice, and it's done nothing. It should have been a 12 month ban, and watch his stock plummet. He's a great footballer, but a vile human being. Liverpool are better off rid of him! Comment posted by Neil, at 26 Jun Neil. I'm a Liverpool fan and I for one don't want him back at the club. Comment posted by taylor01pe, at 26 Jun taylor01pe. Different rules for different classes.
Comment posted by Disgraceland, at 26 Jun Disgraceland. It's right that he's banned, it's right that he is punished but what he really needs is help. IMO he has a mental health issue that needs addressing. If I bit a co-worker, I would lose my job, and possibly face criminal charges. Just because he is a very gifted football player does not excuse his actions whatsoever. If anything, he's a role model! Pathetic cop out. If I did that I would be arrested and charged with assault - not fined a third of my weekly wage and banned for the close season.
If Liverpool have any honour they'll fire him and sue him for breach of contract. Would you like to take the field against him?
As bad as Suarez's bite was, what really disgusted me was the rest of the Uruguain team, trying to pull the italian defenders shirt to cover the bite mark and then denying anything had happened.
Suarez had a rush of blood for his idiocy, they were coolly and clinically trying to mislead. Comment posted by Nelly, at 26 Jun Nelly. Not long enough, not severe enough. The team is strong. They are going to win. Suarez fell to the ground holding his mouth, apparently suggesting that he had been elbowed, while the Juventus centre-back pulled down his shirt to reveal a bite mark on his left shoulder as he ran to referee Marco Rodriguez to complain.
As he did so, Uruguay forward Gaston Ramirez tried to pull his shirt back into place, while the referee took no action against Suarez. The Liverpool striker defended himself on Uruguayan television after the incident, saying: "These situations happen on the pitch.
We were both just inside the area, he struck me in the chest with his shoulder and he hit me in the eye as well. He was suspended for seven matches after biting PSV midfielder Otman Bakkal while playing for Ajax in an Eredivisie game in November , and banned for 10 games after doing the same to Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in The striker has attracted widespread condemnation for the bite, with critics including his former Liverpool teammate Jamie Carragher.
Retired centre-back Carragher told the Daily Mail on Thursday: "Luis's actions have been disgraceful, and it defies belief that he could behave as if he was in a playground once again after everything Liverpool have done for him. He's continually dragging the club's name through the mud. He's a different person on the pitch and you can't condone what he's done. Suarez is under contract until but has a release clause in that deal, with reports suggesting it is somewhere between 65 million and 80 million pounds.
Barcelona have been strongly linked with a move for Suarez in recent days, although it remains unclear whether they will try to sign him in the wake of FIFA's punishment.
FIFA officials have said the player could still be transferred during the four-month ban. On Thursday, his sponsor adidas issued a statement that said it "certainly does not condone Luis Suarez's recent behaviour. It added: "We will again be reminding him of the high standards we expect from our players.
