If you define it like that, every singe fucking club cheats about once every 5 minutes in football.
He did post a happy face, making a heart gesture like Bale, to FF in whatsapp lol

Isn't that why red cards are invented?
Yes, as a punishment for said cheating
I'm sure we've had this debate before.

Smuggling those kids cost us two transfer windows. Might as well give em a shot over proven failures.

Yeah, they do, I agree.
But that's what it is right, what else would you call it.
There are different levels obviously.

What is the point of the red card though?
If you break the rules you get sent off. If you break them by accident or on purpose shouldn't matter.
If you did an intentional foul/handball and didn't get sent off, that would be cheating(like Henry vs Ireland)
Or using HGH.

I believe someone said it was Busquets.

or smuggling small kids, that won't even get to see their parents more than once a year, in name of a football academy.
Was pretty hilarious. A real cunt move, but any professional in that spot should have done the same as Suarez did to win.

It's a matter of degrees bruv
Knowingly taking a throw-in 5 yards further up from where it went out is cheating.
Diving over your own teammate to win a penalty in the last minute of a World Cup final is cheating.

Xavi is still amazing.
We were good when cesc came off. Terrible when he was on.
We lost because we had 2 people defending(for some reason) in the 85th minute of a final. stupid to push forward that much
We aren't equating diving with a last man taking one for the team tackle are we?
Pls no
I agree some parts of the game are annoying, diving and footballers generally acting a prick are two. They should be clamped down on.
But fouling someone isn't cheating. Fudge me, we're gonna turn this into a non contact sport debate.
I ain't going there

This is a possibility btw. Roma was above Inter in the last few games too.
And Mou Mou'd and Ranieri Ranieri'd
I love the stats from that Barca - Real game.
Barca with 68% possession and more than double the amount of passes. Still lost.
Praying that Spain get knocked out of the World Cup early doors. I want this awful, tedious, bullshit "tikka takka", tippy tappy game to die a horrible and high profile death this season.

Chelsea can do it all themselves now. But the team will most likely play brilliantly against Liverpool and then fail at winning against some trash like Cardiff, the Chelsea way.

Couldn't risk going to extra time and have Messi run over 6k.
BOOT IT SON
I don't hate it as much as some, I just think teams have worked out how easy it is to snuff it out.
I think it will naturally go away as more teams wise up as how to beat it.
It will return though,
Now you get why I hate Pep

Deserved victory for Madrid but those guys obviously need to be forced to play a pass instead of playing lone wolf all the time. Bale faster than Usain Bolt was nice to watch. Only downside all those theatric scenes of falling players and demanding cards.
Lets not forget that Xavi put in a perfect pass to Neymar to tie the game but he somehow managed to fuck-up another easy chance on goal.
Milan so good.
One of my fav Barca players. He's fucking great.
FF, pls. Xavi should be benched. Iniesta4evar!

Xavi is still good but he can't operate as the fulcrum of the team anymore, age catches up with you eventually. He basically ran the match for 90 mins for like 50 games for the last how many years. He can't do it anymore.
Barca need to switch things up. Either find someone else to do the same thing (not sure they can) or switch the focus more to Messi and maybe let him run the match...although they would then lose his power in the final third.
