These cheating Brazilians

So then it should also come in for players blatantly claiming throw ins, corners and goal-kicks as well. If you penalise one offence, you have to do the lot.

Not really Greengrass. Think it through. They're different scenarios.

I was thinking zero tolerance, it's all cheating. For those other minor offences, players should be yellow carded.

It's like when defenders arms go straight up claiming offside when replays show the striker was well onside...these things can all be claimed in the heat of battle and players are convinced that their view is correct.

This poll is more about blatant, in your face, cheating.......retrospective banning would stop it immediately and it would mean Daniel Sturridge would have to stay on his feet....which would be nice.

Im not so much against people diving for penalties as much as I am somebody feigning injury to get a man sent off when in reality nobody touched him.

Firstly, those things aren't as clear cut.

Secondly, if you brought that in you'd end up with 3-a-side.

Thirdly, there's no difference between what you're saying and a cricketer screaming "howzat" to the umpire.

Both equally as wrong IMO, and both will continue forever unless FIFA brings in punitive legislation to finally banish it from the game.

Some on here may be too young to remember, but before Sky and it's money turned football from the working man's sport to big business in this country, and Klinsmann introduced "diving" to the British game in '94, the FA used to have rules like "ungentlemanly conduct" and "unsportsmanlike behaviour" which always kept issues like this in check.

With the availability of post match TV analysis, the ruling body (FA/FIFA whatever) should actively review blatant cheating, players throwing themselves to the ground, feigning injury etc and then impose a worthwhile punishment. I suggest either the team starts the next game without the cheating player for the first 10 minutes so they're down to 10 men or impose a yellow card that carries into the next game so the player effectively goes straight off for his next yellow card offence.
The managers would soon get fed up with missing players.

I am available to collect my reward for this excellent idea on completion of England's World Cup run....oh wait a minute....

What if the cheating player wasn't going to be picked?........

Personally think he shouldn't be given the opportunity to get picked for the next game.... give the actor a straight red card for cheating followed by a 3 match ban. Job done!!!!:Players will soon stop doing 'bambi on ice' impressions!!
