Uruguay’s star striker Luis Suarez has been accused of biting a player for the third time in his career after an incident with Giorgio Chiellini at the FIFA World Cup following their win over Italy this morning.

The Liverpool striker attacked the Italian defender shortly before Diego Godin scored to give Uruguay a 2-1 win.

Chiellini pulled his shirt down to show the referee a mark on his shoulder but no action was taken by the official.

The maximum ban Suarez could face if governing body FIFA takes retrospective action is 24 matches or two years.

Suarez told the BBC after the match that there are things that happen on the pitch and they should not make such a big deal out of them.

Meanwhile, eight teams have qualified so far for the knockout stages.

Uruguay will meet Colombia in one elimination game at 8am Sunday while Brazil takes on Chile at 4am.

On Monday at 4am the Netherlands will meet Mexico at 4am followed by Greece and Costa Rica at 8am.

16 teams will be part of the eliminations where the eight winners will go through to the quarter finals.

Tomorrow at 4am Nigeria face Argentina, Bosnia Herzegovina will take on Iran and at 8am Honduras face Switzerland while Ecuador meets France.

Looking at today’s results Greece defeated Ivory Coast 2-1, Colombia beat Japan 4-1 while England drew nil all with Costa Rica.
