And of course the draw wasn't fixed was it? It was obviously very fortunate for the Russians that they had Saudi Arabia and Egypt for their first two games.

Ronaldo is the biggest cheat of all. He's dived twice in the box in as many minutes agaist Morocco. Pity the ref didn't send the arrogant sob off.

Sick of the simulation, cheating, blocking the flow of the game, pretended injuries and excessive time wasting. My God the game can be ugly. I think the modern game is in dire need of a revamp of rules or it may get killed within a few decades. To be fair, these are features of every board game played in the YT household. It’s not confined to the World Cup

They seem to be so pleased with themselves that they get the right decision through VAR (penalty or no penalty) that they seem to have forgotten about bookings for simulation

Its obviously down to the ref, if you watched the Germany Mexico game, you would have seen Germany flopping at every opportunity and the ref just glaring at them and telling them to get up. One of the reasons Germany lost. I forget what country the ref was from, but he let the game flow and we all (except the Germans) benefited from it.

Senegal's second goal scorer, allowed in by officials not having a clue should be banned for 25 games rather then allowed to celebrate a decisive goal. I think the modern game is in dire need of a revamp of rules or it may get killed within a few decades. good read about the Senegal goal Edited by michaelpearce (21 Jun 2018 9.30am)

I just saw this on the BBC website Mexico v South Korea match: “Absolute scourge on this World Cup is players lying on the ground, feigning injury, so that the opposition have to kick the ball out! Seems to happen 3+ times every match” It really is truly appalling. Why is it acceptable?! Why? It is so infuriating. It really is no wonder the USA can’t get it into true mainstream. As an American friend of mine stated “...when they stop rolling around like they have a hot tar vest on to them miraculously recover, then it will gain respect.”

The time doesn't compare to the TV timeouts, various penalties or repetitive actions of US sports. Perhaps they could spend more time watching matches rather than drinking weak beer, watching pointless shows and eating fried food out of their car boots. Then maybe baseball and NFL would take off over here.

In terms of cheating not paying off, perhaps Maradona might agree. [Tweet Link]
