How embarrassing and pathetic was this Italian strikers play acting(cheating)..rolling around like he had been shot in the penalty area,to 5 seconds later to miraculously recover as Italy score..imo he should be a retrospective ban at least..

Totally agree as I mentioned how well they had done in feigning injury on another thread. Even Gary Lineker mentioned it on TV and made a mockery of it.

It’s what they’re known for and has always been in their game since I was a kid. Totally over dramatic and uncalled for but you won’t get them to change.

Not only in Euros though is it Brin? How many times did we come up against championship players fooling the refs last season? They do need to come up with retrospective punishments generally in the game there is plenty of vid evidence after the game. Lets see how cheating teams get on then next season.

This is all a bit unfair

It's obviously divine intervention.

Judging by how many times you see footballers crossing themselves, looking to heaven, pointing and mumbling. It's God giving them instant recovery, like Lazarus they rise.

Linekar needs to stop mocking and just call them cheats as we would

.....all a set of cheats as soon as they cross the white line. Then they all talk about "Respect", it's even on their sleeve, then they try to cheat the Ref at the 1st chance.....set of hypocrites. Pity the FA hasn't got any b^lls and stop it but it would harm their "product".

All part of the modern game, as is abusing the officials. It's just that some people are better at it than others. It could all be sorted with stronger authority post-match. Cards and fines handed out later. Sadly, there's no will to do it.
