What Suárez did is NOT cheating, it's playing football, if I was a coach and a player didn't do that he'd never play under me again, you gotta do your utmost to save the ball from going in specially when it's min 120, it's exactly the same as commiting a professional foul, you do it so your team has another chance, the punishment is fine, Gyan failed the penalty, tough luck. If that were so, all players that ever commited a professional fouls would be cheaters. Fuck that, commiting a foul has to be cheating, right, in the end, it's violating the rules so you get an advantage (cut the advancement), so that player has to be a fucking cheater, right? Please, the things you gotta read in this site... |
It is cheating. You can play it up all you like as to how every other player would have done the same and how he even would be expected to do as much but that doesn't change the fact that he delibrately cheated. And yes, committing a professional foul is also cheating. You are delibrately breaking the rules to create an unfair advantage for your team. It's just that it is seen as acceptable within the game. I'm not going to argue that any other player would (or perhaps even should) have done differnently but that doesn't change the fact that he had absolutely no intention of playing fair in stopping that certain goal which to me (whether he made the 'right' decision or not) is professional cheating. Just because someone is punished for doing something wrong doesn't stop what he did from being wrong.
