Sterling goes charging into the penalty area. The chasing defender is about 2 yards behind. Sterling kicks the ground and drops dead. The ref gives a penalty. When he sees the replay, I expect the ref to resign and go into hiding. Sterling deserves a BIG BOOT up his arse. He was one-on-one with the keeper. there was no reason to dive.
Hopefully, he will be charged with bringing the game into disrepute

The video won't play for me, so I may be completely wrong, but is it certain that it was an intentional dive to get a penalty, and not simply a case of the player tripping and not being able to avoid falling? I would still hope that he would be honest enough to point out to the referee that it was not a penalty, but I don't think many players would do that.

You may see the incident somewhere else hopefully. But yes, a really bad decision by the ref who seemed to have no doubt that Sterling was molested but the Shaktar man was a yard behind him when Sterling tripped. Either way, Sterling indeed wouldn't have done his reputation any harm if he had have pointed this out to the ref. |

What makes me believe that Sterling dived was the fact that after he "stubbed his toe" he clearly threw himself to the ground like a little drama queen.
