Eduardo The Diving Cheat
Celtic players are furious and want UEFA to punish Eduardo for his blatant dive in their Champions League Qualifier on Wednesday night. As you can see in the slow motion video, the keeper didn't touch him. Did you think it was a dive at full speed. Did anyone watch it live and yell "Penalty" only to fell guilty later? The commentator seemed to know right away there was no contact.
So waht does UEFA do? Either the ref or Eduardo has to be punished right? The ref for making an error or Eduardo to diving. What do you think UEFA will do?

Wow....that's pretty egregious. I mean, Arsenal dominated the game, but the first goal is alwasy the most important, so if they go into the half at nil-nil you never know.
ReplyDeleteStraight reds! Great idea. Good name for a soccer blog, too.
ReplyDeleteI can understand the self-preservation involved in avoiding a nasty collision with the keeper, but it was a despicable dive. Eduardo realized he didn't have the shot, and just left his feet. I'd love to see him out for this weekend's match against Man U, but I think UEFA, not FA will have the authority to discipline him for this.
