2) Luis Suarez

Having undergone keyhole knee surgery in late May, Luis Suarez made a miraculous recovery to score both goals in Uruguay's 2-1 victory over England in Sao Paulo. But the 27-year-old's World Cup unravelled spectacularly when he bit Giorgio Chiellini in Uruguay's final group match against Italy, which the South Americans won 1-0. The incident was not seen by referee Marco Rodriguez, but Chiellini's furious reaction - he pulled down his shirt to reveal teeth marks on his shoulder - was all the evidence FIFA needed to act. It took the body's disciplinary committee just two days to hand Suarez a four month-ban from all football-related activity, including a nine-match international suspension. It was the third time in his career that Suarez has been found guilty of biting an opponent, having been punished for the same offence in 2010 and 2013.
