    	    <description><![CDATA[If I was a coach I would probably do it a lot worse. But at least I would forbid my players to act on the footballfield and I would make sure that whenever a player violates this rule he would be immediately exchanged.

I mean... What happend to the good old sportmanship? 

I would rather lose a match with good sportsmanship then winning it by deceiving the referee. 

They should act way harder on players trying to cheat their way through. It has to be a yellow card at least if someone tries this. Therefore off course, Damn dumb FIFA should allow electronic devices to help the arbitor.

Second thing that is ruining this sport; 

WHY do they allow players AND coaches to try and manipulate a decision by the referee. I really can't believe it, sometimes..., it's 100% clear to EVERYONE that a ball passing the line would be a throw in for one team. But still, it doesnt matter how clear the matter is. These days, the opposing team will "allways" raise their arms and point it in the opposite direction of the referee. 

I mean... is there even any sportsmanship left in this sport ?]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[<i>Quoted from longas</i>
		<blockquote>[...]

Germany vs Spain, THAT match should have been the final, fair play and 0 cards. tbh I didn't expect this dirty game by holland. I don't know what i've watched today, a football match or a bruce lee film.

And for the people who says that this has been a shit match, you can't play a "beautiful" match when the other team is making fouls over you again, and again and again.</blockquote>

I agree they played dirty, many deserved cards. But there were over a dozen instances in which the game shouldn't have been stopped. Give each team 2-3 time-outs per game which they can use to contest referee decisions. And go from there. The sport has gone to shit. Its always a vicious circle, starting from schwalbes into harder fouls by the opponent, or hard fouls leading to more schwalbes, because players get frustrated.]]></description>
