He's been quoted as saying he was "shouldered in the mouth" and that "we shouldn't make a big deal of this".
You're done mate.
Would the ban be only internationals or domestic also?

Has anyone else bitten an opponent since 2010? I mean is it only him?
There's a certain element of logic or truth to the 'at least it wasn't an elbow or a leg breaker' line of argument, but we also punish seriously [Poor language removed] up [Poor language removed]. I mean you'll probably go to jail if you get caught [Poor language removed] a cat, admittedly it's not ideal for the cat, but as long as you get the cat into the welly then no human gets hurt. And it's only a cat. They get sexually assaulted by other cats All the time. It's how kittens are made, or how homosexuality is expressed in cats. Consent doesn't play a big role in the life of cats.
However the level of injury to humans isn't really the issue here. You'll probably go to jail, and your reputation will take a bit more of a blow than if you punched someone. But a big part of the punishment is that such behaviour is rare, abhorrent and you don't want it becoming more common place. I mean everyone has punched someone at some stage, but not everyone has indulged in the lonely farmer's release. That's some crazy [Poor language removed] up behaviour that needs to be seriously discouraged.
Anyway, biting people is [Poor language removed] mental. To do it once on a football pitch is too often. To do it twice is a sign that you haven't learned anything from the first time, but to do it a third time in the World Cup, well then the time has come to put the cat in the welly the other way around.
If suarez had bitten bakkal in England, I shudder to think how long of a ban he'd have received from the fa for biting ivanovic, but instead he just got a slap on the wrist. He is avoiding a lot of the consequences of his behaviour, by committing his crimes under different jurisdictions and clearly not doing Anything to prevent him from doing this again. Maybe a year long ban from football, will give him the time and space to seek the treatment he needs to make sure that he sorts his [Poor language removed] weird brain out.
He's already been banned for 30 odd games for mad [Poor language removed] over the last couple of years. We're getting perilously close to a full season stretched out over a couple of years. And that's not counting a load of over the ball tackles and other straight red cards he's gotten away with. He needs treatment, and his fellow professionals need protection from him so a year sounds about right.
That or have him spayed.
Probably mentioned but his defence has condemned him.
He has said he was elbowed in the eye. So the footage of him holding his teeth and not his eyes means he must be lying. And if he changes his story he is contradicting himself and digging the hole deeper.
great
I think any punishment must be accompanied by mandatory health treatment, whether that is therapy for a several months or something else. Its at the point that you can no longer say he's thinking 'this defender is annoying me I want to bite him', its more 'this defender is annoying me I HAVE to bite him'. The guy clearly knows the consequences so it has to be that he can't control himself. Its like he's got some kind of biting tourettes.

He isnt mentally ill though - every time he has done something like he did today, he has had a clear reason and a clear potential for gain from doing what he did. The same goes for the Ghana incident (which IMHO is still the worst thing he has ever done, given what might have happened if they had won that game), the Evra one, the stamp on Distin, all the dives etc etc. Suggesting that there might be something wrong with him excuses his quite clear, quite deliberate actions - the man is just a cheat.
