Players should understand by now that watching a game on television, in slow motion, instant replay, you tube etc exposes them completely for what they are attempting to do. Getting away with a fake trip in the penalty box and winning a penalty kick to win the game does not make you a wise player, just makes you a good cheater. Thanks to technology we can now see players for what they are trying to get away with. Referees are paying more attention now because it is getting so bad and I'm sure they are frustrated after reviewing tapes and seeing replays of players who have fooled them on the field. An intentional hand ball in the box, that wins a penalty, is still an attempt at cheating, even though he gets caught and the other team is given an opportunity to capitalize. Character and reputation are everything to players today with commercialization and endorsement opportunities that they have. I would be more careful of how I display my character on the field. How much of a price do you think Henry and France paid for his handball? Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10115371702444185591noreply@blogger.com
