One reason is because all you need are some bodies, a pair of shorts and running shoes (or bare feet). Anybody ever outfitted a child in hockey gears? EXPENSIVE!

Well said fingers. Cheating of all sorts happens in every sport. The problem is that in soccer one good fake dive can and often does change the outcome.as a former pro soccer player in Greece i honestly dont c what the fuss is all about guys...soccer is played with alot of cheaters, only difference is he got caught on video doing it...big deal...every player who gets tackled and falls as if he just got shot cheat all the time.....maradona cheated....players cheat on every corner kick with all the shirt pulling....free kicks are 10yds away but always the wall creeps up a few yards again cheating......what about throw ins? never a time a player does not walk up 10 extra yards before he throws the ball, again cheating.....its all part of the game....
the ref missed the call, plain as that......
Well said..they cant complain because they have no credibiltyNo, he should have admitted it immediately, then the goal wouldn't have counted - that would have been REAL sportsmanship!

Similar screw-up but because it's Georgia, no one gives a shit. But poor little Ireland gets a bad call and everyone goes ape shit.
And no, Robbie Keane didn't admit it, and Ireland did not call for a replay.
I realize that definitely plays a part.One reason is because all you need are some bodies, a pair of shorts and running shoes (or bare feet). Anybody ever outfitted a child in hockey gears? EXPENSIVE!
