Luis Suarez left a mark on this World Cup - and also on Chiellini’s shoulder - with another of his inexplicable actions.

He has now been given a four month and nine-game international ban by FIFA, which is subject to appeal,  what happened in the Estadios Das Dunas and the Liverpool striker could face a ban of up to two years.
