I congratulate you to a new hot item on the list. On 23 September 2009 the Danish goalkeeper Kim Christensen of the Swedish football team IFK Gothenburg was caught on television pushing in the goalposts of his goal as he started a game in the Swedish first division. The goal became aproximately 20 cm (8 inches) narrower on the ground, as a result. Being questioned, he said that he had done the same thing many times before. (Please see Telegraph.com from 24 October 2009.)

Maradonnas cheat deserves to be number one.

I used to live and breath only to play football, and now the game disgusts me!

The game is built on cheating – and the rules do nothing to discourage cheating either.

In the 2006 world cup AUSTRALIA were cheated out of a place in the quarter finals by the Italians when some italian CHEAT dived in the penalty box in the last 5 seconds to get a penalty – another 5 seconds and it would have been extra time. – The Aussies were all over the Italians who only had 10 men (the result of a previous cheat). and the aussies had 2 subs left.

The Italians had to resort to cheating to save their pride – they were not good enough to win on merit. (an NO, Im not an Aussie)
FIFA seriously need to change the rules to discourage cheating and to save this awesome game from the joke it has become.

The yellow card is a waste of time.

I suggest no yellow card, but a sin bin – 10 minutes.
when a team has a player in the bin – they cannot afford to lose another player for a dive or a professional foul.

This will result in more goals, less dumb fouls, less diving and pretending. less free kicks which slow the game down, more dribbling and players holding the ball, which is exciting.

Bring it on

Hansie Cronje would be the cricketing eqivilant of the Black Sox, but the all time worst has to be the Australian Chappell brothers with the infamous ‘underarm’ incident.

LOL @ people crying at Maradona. One moment doesn’t change the fact he’s the most epicly godlike human to ever touch a ball of any form. Maybe you should mention that minutes after he punched the ball in, he managed to run around the entire English defence and the goalkeeper to score the greatest goal ever, which only recently was bettered by Lionel Messi. He admitted he punched it in, but that moment doesn’t change the things he did at Boca, Barca or Napoli. It doesn’t change the fact that only the English and Pele don’t like him whilst every other football fan considers him the greatest ever. Even most modern footballers consider him the greatest ever – Zidane, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Cantona, Giggs, Rooney, Maldini you name it, they have said “Maradona”. Even past generation players like Van Basten, Cruyff, Platini, Di Stefano and even George Best considered him the greatest.

Soccerisforqpeoplethatcan’taffordequipment

Does soccer even classify as a sport? I can stand in the middle of the field kicking a can or a ball of yarn around for 90 minutes with no benefit to humanity what so ever…isn’t that the same thing? Anything that has an ending of 0-0 as a consitant score isn’t a sport, it’s a waste of time.

LOL. Actually Football, what you call soccer is a sport for people with skill. All your american sports are for people who have no skill. Sure, you can kick a ball around for 90 mins, but can you control a ball, slip a perfect through ball, beat 3 defenders etc. Idiot
