Uruguay is considering a boycott of their Round of 16 match vs. Colombia
According to Vicky Davila of Colombia's La F.M., Uruguay is considering a boycott of its Round of 16 match against Colombia to protest the suspension and fine FIFA levied against Luis Suárez.
Delegado de Uruguay dice que selección de ese país estaría incluso pensando en no presentarse, tras sanción contra Suárez.

Translation: Uruguay delegate said they would even consider not showing up, after sanctions against Suárez.
It's worth remembering that "considering the threat of a boycott" is not the same thing as actually forfeiting a match. However, even the consideration of such a drastic measure exhibits the discrepancy between how Uruguay views Suarez's biting incident, and the perspective of the rest of the world.
