So what are Ronaldo, Zaha and Busquet's excuses for being first class footballing liars?

Videos on youtube of dozens of clear Ronaldo dives, also delayed falling to the ground holding his face when in an altercation, when no one touched him. Trying to get fellow pro's sent off. Agree with you about the other players you mention. The Porto team that beat Celtic in 04 and ManU in...

We'll have to agree to disagree I've watched a lot of La Liga going back a very long time. People in England, especially Chelsea or Real fans, always single out Busquets as part of their Barca hatred. But Busquets is joined by long list of La Liga cheats including Pepe (as you mentioned)...

Ronaldo and his Portugese cheating colleagues are up there in the highest category. He gets a free pass with closet ManU fans.

Shearer and Kevin Davies were experts at that. Refs mainly say Murray was the fouling player.

30 years ago it was rare. By 1990, Germany and some latin countries were experts at diving / exaggerating. It crept into English football in a big way in the PL era. The latest change I noticed was with pundits. Say three years ago, old school players now pundits, like Shearer and the others...

Ronaldo's always been on the cheats list. Talent plus doing absolutely anything under the sun to gain an advantage, has always been his nature.

Deliberately standing / gently stamping on foot or ankle = a red card. Clattenburg just said the same. I do agree with all the comments about Neymar's acting. But it was a red. If Milivojevic did that to Gross, I'd want the snide sent off. That sort of sneaky foul is commonplace in the PL.

Zaha should look at how truly great players you mention, stay on their feet. They simply want to play, create, score. Their first scheming thought is not "how can I gain a penalty?"

They have been the best team IMO. I know everyone on NSC wants the 'names' to fail. Mexico playing better now.

ITV's Charlie Nicholas?

Both teams playing football, NOT doing a Russia. A lot of talented ball players on show.
