The cheating here is just the tip of the iceberg. The fact of the matter is that you don't get anywhere near the professional game if you are an honest player. Mike Hall

From: JCQ on 2 Jul 2010 19:01 It's amazing that people still complain about cheating. It's up to the ref to decide that and to get the calls right. The players will try to get away with as much as they can because the opponents would do the same if given the chance. What Suarez did was part of the game. He had no choice but to use his hands. It was very clear but if the ref somehow misses it and doesn't call a penalty it's still not cheating.

End of. Take up the argument with the English language. However I am not going to demonize the guy because many of us would have done the same. Mike Hall |
