Well done to Arsenal, but the cheating...

As much as I dislike the Gooners, congrats to them.

The diving and cheating from yet ANOTHER foreign side in Europe is disgusting. Why does it seem all Spanish and Italian sides dive and play-act whilst on the pitch?!

And why are most international refs so blind to this? It frustrates me so much. It's going to be seen so much in the World cup, I'm sure of it. It'll be a dodgy ref decision, or a diving foreign cheat that screws up our World cup chances, mark my words!

Whilst I don't disagree I'd keep an eye on Michael Owen as well, he's won England seriously dubious penalties in the last two world cup tournaments!

Including the one that won the penalty that meant we beat Argentina in Sapporo!

I see what your saying but we don't have the rolls, the leg clutching and the faces that look like their in so much agony from Owen. How much had Argentina dived/cheated in that game anyway? A LOT I seem to remember. Coupled with the constant trying to get other players booked.

Speaking of divers, that Reyes is just as bad as the rest of em. Oh yeah, he's Spanish too, isn't he? Hmmmm...

As far as Arsenal making the final...of course I'm happy a so called English team has made the final. But to be honest, they played crap last night. They will have to put in a tremendous performance to beat Barcelona or AC Milan...personally I think Barcelona.
