Cheating.

Right now, England are playing a friendly against Hungary. Lampard has just missed a penalty against Hungary, and in spite of being an avid England fan, I'm glad he missed. The penalty was awarded for a foul on an England player that never happened. Yet again, we witnessed a player faking a foul, just to steal an unfair advantage.

How do we expect the kids of today to learn to respect fairness and fair play if their heroes demonstrate none on live TV? Players should be sent off immediately if they fake a foul. We have the benefit of immediate action replays these days, lets give that benefit to the officials, and allow players to be sent off after they have been viewed for faking it. I hate cheats, and today, an England player has just cheated in front of thousands of people. Then one of the commentators of the the game has the audacity to say "Other people get away with it, why shouldn't we?". The reason we should not get away with it is the old adage..."Two Wrongs Do Not Make A Right."

Get the cheats off of the TV and the sports field, then perhaps we will have less of them in real life.
