Nowadays, I don't play too many team sports or possession-based sports, but I do play tennis a lot, and very rarely with a ref, so I make my own calls, and I always try to err on the side of accidentally telling my opponent that there shot was in when it was out, as opposed to the opposite, and always call my own double bounces, etc. I'd like to think that my opponents will do the same, but I've played against some cheaters before-cheaters with talent are hard to beat.
Yeah, same sort of ethos that we try to follow at RB. If your livelihood depends on your success and you know there's no real penalty to trying it, I think a lot of people take a different approach. But in games/sports one plays for recreation, I don't see the appeal of cheating.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

The guy actually plays for the team that is the main rival of the team I support. I saw it happening live on the TV, when I was rooting against them. It was funny when it happened, but according to today's news, the guy actually damaged his knee ligament and he'll be injured for quite a long time, so I pity him.
But it's just too stupid to do such a thing. i can't believe so many players do it.

Man between this and getting Isco from Malaga, I really like what RM has done this offseason. Yeah Barca made the splashy signing but they didn't do anything to help their biggest issue: defense. Can't wait for La Liga to start back up again  .

Given Real's form on buying in young players, expect both of them to spend a few years at Castilla before being released and resurrecting their careers slightly lower down the food chain.

What I want to know is, why was a 23-year-old player winning the U21 championships?
