I love it that football at all levels is the same sport - and would not like to see rules introduced to differ from the top level to the grassroots - however, that said, at the very top of the sport I'd like to see the likes of FIFA and UEFA grow some balls over the players who cheat by feigning injury, and those who intentionally hurt others.

Would it be so difficult for them to turn around and say that someone who headbutts another player gets an automatic 5 game ban, or elbows someone gets a 3 game ban, kicks someone off the ball, dives when there is not contact, feigns injury to the face or head when there is no contact, shirtpulls, surrounds and/or harass the referee and his offcials and so on...?
