Nobody watching then ?

Russia already 2 down, looks like the drugs don't work.

What a horrible diving shit that Cavani is - you've only got to give him a dirty look and he goes down rolling around in "agony". I think this has to have been the worst World Cup yet when it comes to faking.

That first goal was bizarre. If Suarez had missed, would they have given a penalty anyway for the comedydefending by the Russian wall?

Brilliant penalty save in the Egypt game by the way.

the play acting at this has got so out of control.

The only way around it is the let the trainers on and keep the game going... soon get up then.

- Only meant to stop for head injuries, otherwise play on.
- If the player needs treatment he is taken straight off (no treatment on the pitch) at the nearest point on the touchline.
- when he is recovered he makes his way to the halfway line and waits for the next break in play.

Would stop all the faking immediately.

Surely that’s a sledgehammer that would punish teams that had a real injury?

Did it again a couple of minutes ago. Lovely little ball played into him, and he takes a poor first touch, so dives theatrically. A decent (and likeable) striker would have just put his foot through it first time. Cavani is an absolute DILDO.

Pathetic wasn't it. He had the time and space to get a shot away, but instead decided to cheat and try to get a pen. Cheating is in his DNA, its instinctive.

He's far from alone in that, but he is a particularly revolting specimen.

Quantity of "faking" yes, but the "quality" of faking is still this incident. Not sure this can ever be topped, and for such a GREAT player, this is always my abiding memory of him.

Lots of telly talk towards the end of Russia getting a 'Reality Check' today. Couldn't help but think all such comments may well apply to England after the Belgium game. Only so many patsies you can knock down before you run up against a bit of quality. Should be very interesting on Thursday.
