FC Barcelona star Luis Suarez is the most well-known soccer player when it comes to biting opponents, but the world might get to know El Salvador defender Henry Romero, too.
Romero appeared to bite United States forward Jozy Altidore in the second half of the teams’ 2017 Gold Cup quarterfinal game Wednesday night at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
Ummmm hi… red card.

To the surprise of everyone watching, Romero was not given a straight red card for his actions.
Romero already had been given a yellow card for a poor challenge in the 18th minute. He easily could have been shown five or six yellows for his reckless play throughout the game.
CONCACAF might also take a further look at the incident and consider if any post-match discipline, such as a suspension, is necessary.
