Rating Football's Iconic CHEATING Moments ft. ChrisMD

There are many masters of the dark arts within football, enough that Voldemort would have a field day if he ever decides to go on a recruitment spree. Some players will do just about anything to win a game, and occasionally they get away with it... Join Chris and I as we rate the performances of football's most iconic bad boys, as well as a few lesser known incidents that are just plain hilarious

Suarez's handball is Elite tier for me. The fact that he knew that the advantage gained was bigger than the punishment was genius. He made the only play he could make to keep Uruguay in that game and it worked. To do it to prevent the only African team left in it from reaching the semis at the first ever world cup in Africa makes it truly elite.

[olliedando]

we need another pack opening from this absolutely smashing duo

[adamola_]

As someone who's irish that qualifier had my whole family roaring at the telly 🤣

[tomasmugicamoreno]

On January 27, 1994, the national football teams of Barbados and Grenada played against each other as part of the qualification round for the 1994 Caribbean Cup. Due to an unusual scoring rule and the two teams' respective positions in the tournament, it became alternately in the best interest of each team to score an own goal. The result has been described as "one of the strangest matches ever".[1][2]

The organisers of the tournament had imposed a rule requiring all matches to have a winner, and this was enforced with an unusual variant of the golden goal rule: the first goal scored in extra-time not only won the match, but was also worth two goals, emphasising the "golden" part of the rule. Barbados started the match needing to win by a margin of at least two goals to qualify for the final tournament, and after Grenada scored late in normal time to bring the scoreline to 2–1, Barbados deliberately scored an own goal to force extra-time, where they could get the two-goal winning margin they needed courtesy of the unconventional golden goal rule.[1] This resulted in an unusual situation: for the last three minutes of the match, Grenada was trying to score in both goals, as either outcome (3–2 on points, or 2–3 via goal difference) would have advanced them to the finals, while Barbados had to defend both goals. Ultimately, Barbados was able to prevent Grenada from scoring, thus forcing extra-time, and scored the golden goal to win the match.





I did know about this result but I chose to copy-paste from wikipedia bc I am lazy smh

2. Schumacher tackle in the same WC
3. Sheffield Utd trying to get their players sent off to abandon the game
4. Italian fixing scandal in 06
5. Sus refereeing in the 2002 World Cup

That Suarez handball IMO is one of the most iconic and worst cases of cheating the game.

[justin]

I feel like you gotta include Joel Campbell kicking himself and getting his opponent a yellow card, amazing moment lmao

[harrisnicholson]

The try guys joke came OUT OF NOWHERE 😅😂😂😂

[adambuckers]

These videos seriously need to be 30 minutes long. Let's sign a petition!!!

[EnglishforFOOTBALLFANS]

Gabriel Jesus pretending to be knocked out unconscious vs Liverpool last week needs to be spoken about.

[euan]

Expected Wayne Rooney to be in every incident but turns out it was cheating in football games

[theprof]

I was hoping you might include the Sheffield United game where they tried to get the result nullified by getting the game abandoned through lack of players. Sending subs on just to get a red card instantly. As it was a loophole in the rules, and as a blades fan myself, there is clearly nothing wrong with it, and a monumental day in our history.

[MatthewSmith-qddu]

Feel like Ali Dia tricking Graeme Souness into playing a part of a match for Southampton is elite shithousery

[kylehobbis]

Steve cook doing the Steven Taylor esque saves for Bournemouth vs Norwich

[EdgeheadPP]

No Ali Dia? Getting a mate to ring Souness pretending to be George Weah with a half-decent cousin? Getting signed and actually playing for Southampton in the PL, despite being utterly dreadful in training and just generally bad at football?

[dantepetrin]

I was holding out for the Maracanazo incident - In a WC qualifier between Brazil and Chile, the Chilean GK cut himself with a razor blade to make it look like he had been hit by a false, and get Brazil disqualified.

Fun fact: the only reason I remembered this incident is because it happened on the same day as a plane crash

[theredspades]

Suarez’s handball is “nothing wrong”. He handballed, nobody got hurt(like broken legs or bitten shoulders), he was sent off, got disqualified, gave up a penalty. It was total Ghanas problems not to take advantage of that.

[markcraggs]

Taylor did get away with it two years after the Villa one, full stretch diving save at Old Trafford. Glorious stuff.

[delinhaa]

i feel like the suarez ghana goal clearance was honestly smart cause it was gonna go on guaranteed without him, but a penalty isnt guaranteed to go in

[trident]

I'm 26 and I actually still have a vivid memory of watching the Suarez handball live and being totally shocked
