Day Sixteen: Dog Day Afternoons

Today, at the World Cup, there was no football. Not a sausage. Bugger all. Shit, it was boring.
Meanwhile Luis Suarez's grandmother, Lila Piriz Da Rosa, has claimed that her grandson has been 'treated like a dog' by FIFA after he was thrown out of the World Cup for the third biting incident of his professional career. Not, perhaps, the most sensible of similes to use in this case since a dog that bites people usually gets humanely killed. Suarez only got a four month ban. A necessary difference, one feels.
