Consider the current World Cup, if you are not familiar with other soccer tournaments.

I've watched football for many years and I think that while so-called "cheating" has always been part of the game, it "seems" to be getting worse. I say "seems" because television and the media in general are focusing more on the illegal tackles, obstructions and dives which the referee doesn't always see correctly. I think the chief problem is in the "seeing" and I'm not sure that a second referee would help. It's a big problem because on the one hand you have Portugal's Cristiano (I refuse to call him Ronaldo) diving to win penalties and free kicks, while on the other hand you have Henry getting so frustrated by referees allowing defenders to man-handle him that he publicly states he is going to start diving in order to take justice into his own hands. All of this is too bad. It is not just diving that is cheating. There are other forms of it in the game and something needs to be done about it...

Cheating is unfortunately playing a major role in soccer, and the results we are seeing them now, wiht the 2002 world cup actually exploding these things. Before these things did happen, where in 1982, the claims on how Italy had won the world cup, in 1986, the hand of god and how the argentinians won, in 1998, and so on.....

I think it is hilarious how these "world class athletes" take any opportunity possible to fall down and fake an injury. They get carried off on a stretcher and are back in the game 5 minutes later.
What a bunch of whiny babies.

Don't think so, no. Other sports like cycling, American Football, athletics, have a lot more cases of cheating, most of them involving the use of illegal substances...

Nope. Cheating isn't allowed. Of course it all depends on the referee...

Cheating is open to interpretation...A form of cheating to one person may not seem like cheating to another...
