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

That's hardly what I said is it. Cheating is cheating full stop whenever it happens but are you seriously telling me that you can't understand why someone would talk about that hand ball incident over any normal foul? As if I'm likely to take notes on every foul so that I can complain on an internet message board in the same manor as when such a major incident like that handball occurs.
