[QUOTE="Salty25, post: 226523, member: 185281"] Unfortunately, its too late to do anything about Italy or Portugal's victories, but would you agree that had there been extremely harsh suspensions against diving/cheating, players would think twice before trying. It wasnt as if Italy were losing was it?
