whenever I take my daughter to the park or to a play centre I try to get other kids playing in teams. It's getting increasingly difficult. As I said - I know cheating has always happened in football, but it's just a joke now. Kids just throw themselves onto the floor if they lose the ball and feign injury until they realise nobody's taking any notice. There was one kid the other day and his Dad was watching and he didn't say anything to his lad, I'd have been really embarrassed if it was mine. How are they going to learn to play sports when they're emulating cheats at 7 years old? I feel that footballers/sportsmen have a duty to show a good example, but they are ruining the game.
