Hidden: Joga Bonita, yeah right: The beautiful game has taken a huge hit. Seems like the Nike campaign is great in theory, but most of its own featured athletes are hypocrites. Henry- badge of courage for not diving...tell that to Spain with the phantom elbow to the face that he acted on. Figo headbutting an opponent during a game 2 feet from a ref and getting a yellow card. Capt. America flaming out big time. If the time wasters have to spend a day in hell for every minute they waste, most of the winning (sometimes even) teams will be spending years there. I am a huge fan and get sick of trying to explain why a stretcher is necessary ten times a game. I have broken limbs on the pitch and never needed a freaking stretcher. No wonder the refs miss half the calls and get the other half wrong...cheaters, liars and fakers. Yet we expect professionalism from a referee who is constantly being decieved by both teams. I say to make the game beautiful again we give the ref a stun gun and if you spend more than ten seconds on the pitch without major injury he gets to zap you. That'll keep the game going.
