Oh come on, there is clearly a difference between blocking a certain goal in the last seconds of such an important game compared to almost 'any foul'. I think you'll find that when any one talks about this game they will mention the handball and not some foul committed in the 37th minute or whatever.

I would argue that a normal foul is not cheating as you don't have the intent of playing unfairly (i.e you are genuinely trying to win the ball) as opposed to a professional foul.

Look, I'm not saying that I don't understand why he did it or that in his place I would even have done differently myself but that doesn't mean i don't think it was cheating.

Ok, so it's cheating if it's done in the 90th minute and it's not if it's done in the 5th. Gotcha
