Eduardo's dive was pretty deplorable, that I'll agree with. He should have gotten a yellow card for it, with no penalty given. The fine? Sure, makes sense, I wish they'd start fining players for dives. But a retroactive two match ban??
Had he received a yellow card in the game, all of this would have been forgotten. But now it's being BLOWN UP in the media, and Eduardo is being singled out.
I have no issue if they banned him but then banned EVERY player that did the same thing, even if his name is Ronaldo or Rooney or Drogba or Torres. Sadly, I don't think that will be the case.
