SAO PAULO, Brazil — The U.S. national soccer team will arrive at Arena Pernambuco in Recife for Thursday’s pivotal World Cup match against Germany after playing in Amazonian air as thick as hummus four days earlier. Germany will take the field for the Group G showdown with the benefit of 27 extra hours of recuperation and preparation after competing in another northeast coastal city, Fortaleza.

Saw this one:
He needs to cut down on the Italian food. #Suarez
paulmhuston: In Suarez’s defense, Chiellini was being a total tease wearing bacon grease on his shoulder like that. #suarez #worldcup #suarezbite
It’s a darn shame, because he is a great player, but he’s just too much of a head case.
Imagine him and Mike Tyson in the same room.
omg_its_candice: So Suarez bit Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini, also Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic. Both teams have a blue kit. #suarezdoesntlikeblue #suarezbite
iDoLikeSpam: Other players’ body parts. #SuarezBite MT @brazilian_fball What goes through that mans head!?!?!?
carter4real: Hey! I’m eating an italian sub for lunch and apparently so is Luis Suarez. #SuarezBite
Suarez involved in yet another biting controversy. Stupid from him, he's going to ruin his career with these stunts. pic.twitter.com/Nq3KGKvclq— RedDevilsDaily (@RedDevilsDaily) June 24, 2014
It does seem to be an Italian specialty, provoking opposing players, like Zidane.
alexhayter: GQ cover in 6 months: Suarez, topless, playfully biting an Italian salami. Cringe at the thought. #WorldCup #Suarezbite
I was thinking more along the lines of the one Hannibal Lecter wore in Silence of the Lambs.

“L’Uruguay plus mordant (Uruguay plus a bite)
L’Uruguay se qualifie pour les 8es de finale, aux dépens de l’Italie, en remportant leur duel (1-0), grâce à un but de Godin (81e). Luis Suarez a mordu à l’épaule Giorgio Chiellini, sans être sanctionné. 25”
I think it’s fun to see how this is covered internationally.
This will be remembered, I don’t know how big it will be.
Unconfirmed Italy’s manager resigned?
