Uruguay yesterday June 27th to a hero's
welcome after being booted out of the World
Cup and banned from all football for four-
months for biting Italian defender Giorgio
Chiellini. Not only were hundreds of fans at
Montevideo airport to welcome him, waving
banners of support, but the president of
Uruguay, Jose Mujica, was also at the airport.

receive Suarez
Meanwhile, Giorgio Chiellini is not happy
about FIFA's decision to ban Suarez for four
months for biting him, a decision Uruguay
says they will contest.
On his official website, Chiellini criticized the
punishment, calling it excessive. What he
wrote below
"Now inside me there's no feelings of joy,
revenge or anger against Suárez for an
incident that happened on the pitch and
that's done. There only remains the anger
and the disappointment about the
match. My only thought is for Luis and
his family, because they will face a very
difficult period. I have always considered
unequivocal the disciplinary
interventions by the competent bodies,
but at the same time I believe that the
proposed formula is excessive. I sincerely
hope that he will be allowed, at least, to
stay close to his team-mates during the
games because such a ban is really
alienating for a player."
