Is that Luis Suarez? El Salvador defender appears to bite U.S. star in Gold Cup

Henry Romero may have tried to take a small chunk of United States striker Jozy Altidore's back in the tournament's quarterfinal match in Philadelphia

An El Salvador defender may have emulated one of Luis Suarez’s most memorable moments in the country’s Gold Cup match against the United States.

And it was not one of Suarez’s highlight-reel goals.

In the second half of the Gold Cup quarterfinal match between the U.S. and El Salvador, Henry Romero was matched up against U.S. striker Jozy Altidore on a set piece. While the two were grouped together, Romero definitely twisted the nipple of Altidore, sending the striker to ground.
