STATS: World Cup’s Biggest Cheaters

[HuSsAiN]

FantasyCheatersLeague.com has compiled statistics of the biggest cheats from this World Cup and it saddens me to tell you that Brazil, currently lie in first position.

There is also a break down of the cheating players with some unsurprising findings. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lucio have the most points for strikers and defenders respectively. However, Joe Cole, Frank Lampard and James Milner all feature in the top 20 cheating midfielders, with Glen Johnson, Ashley Cole, Gabriel Heinze, Nemanja Vidic and Martin Skrtel in the top 20 cheating defenders, and Carlos Tevez, Emile Heskey and Park Ji-Sung in the top 20 cheating attacking players.

[radin119]

wtf is yard stealing?

[EKBATAN]

there is no way to gage this some people take this conspiracy thing way too far

[OFFSIDE_1]

stats are based on the number of times one cheats ..... ofcourse, if you get eliminated in the first round, you have less chance to cheat which makes you a non-cheater .... so if Bahrain were in the WC, they would be one of the most honest teams in the tournament .....

Lol the scoring is funny.


When a player falls to the ground in a feeble attempt to get a free kick. Flailing arms are a dead giveaway. Often the culprit will not have been touched, but occasionally there'll be a bit of contact. If he 'makes a meal of it', it's classified a dive, end of.


When a player commits a foul that makes you wince. Or gets you out of your seat with rage. It could be a real leg-breaker or a sneaky trip on a player that's clean through on goal. Either way it's scandalous.


When a player goes down under a fairly innocuous challenge but clutches the wrong part of his anatomy in an attempt to fool the ref. Giveaways are peeking through their hands at the ref to see if their Oscar nominated performance has worked.


One of the sneakiest, yet seemingly unpunished cheats. Commonly used by players gaining a few yards when taking a throw-in or a free kick.


This will be determined by you and other managers through Twitter and Facebook. The player regarded with the most disgust after a game will be awarded 10 bonus points. Get in!


When a player makes a scurrilous attempt to get another booked or sent-off by rushing the ref and trying to influence his decision. Granted the opposition player may have taken their team-mate's knee cap off, but that's not the point.


A sneaky handball that the ref doesn't see. Maradona and Thierry Henry are grand masters of this art.


We're watching out for the keepers on this one. They'll bang their boots against the post (come on, there's no mud on the pitches they play on), position the ball repeatedly when taking goal-kicks and hold onto the ball far too long after claiming it. With outfield players, textbook time wasting offences include dribbling the ball to the corner flag and taking longer than necessary on throw-ins and free kicks.


When a player commits an offence so dirty that it's beyond the realms of cheating. It's just pure evil. Materazzi calling Zidane's mum a slag would warrant this. So too would Ronaldo's wink after getting Rooney sent off. Other filthy offences include spitting, head-butts, elbows, stamping, nipple tweaking and Chinese burns.



If a player commits an offence from the list above and is caught they will lose points for the resultant yellow or red card. Basically because they weren't clever enough to get away with it.
NOTE: Only red or yellow cards that are connected to a particular cheat from the list are accountable. For instance, a player can get yellow carded for 'persistent fouling' but this is not covered by our points system so they won't get the (-1pts) for a yellow card.

However, if a player commits a Cynical Foul (a professional foul or a malicious premeditated foul) AND receives a yellow card as a result, he will earn 4pts but lose 1pt for the card - leaving him with 3pts.

yah, the teams that strangely always manage to not have any bad calls pined against them, or be a victim of bad officiating for 80 years of football, They either have some really good luck or they are cheaters. Witch do you think they are?

I dont usually get in debate with ppl who are new here since they often tend to belong to a young and ignorant towards football community, but Im gonna give you an example since you think you know the 80-year old history of World Cup, in 1966 the hosts England managed to become Worldcup champions, something which never came even close to happening again majorly because of an error by the referee, and guess who was the victim who lost that final, Germany!!!

[Türküm]

done incorrectly because its not averaged per game and teams don't play the same # of games.

aww poor germans, they only have like what 5 titles? Maybe it was made so that england won because they are the hosts, usually the host team goes really far or wins the tournament, world soccer is rigged my friends, those who are in denial about it are the real ignorant ones, not a person who questions things. You should go watch the world cup games and pay much closer attention to these teams when they play other teams, see how all the Hispanic and Asian teams get every call against them when they play these europeans/white latins

your telling me that you dont find it odd that out of 80 years of football, there have only be 7 teams to win and 2 being only once, so that makes it like 72 years of world football played, and only 5 teams managing to win, now you may use the argument that these teams are amazing etc, but when you rule in referee errors, this fact becomes VERY striking and suspicious.

[Shervin.]

every ****ing national and club team does yard stealing ALL the time.
