This is a blog for the discussion of curious trivia (as the name was designed to suggest). I read all comments, so don't hesitate to post a comment even if the post is years old: these are long-term interests of mine! I don't post every day, I'm afraid, so I suggest that, if you are interested, you go to http://www.changedetection.com/ and put the name of this blog in it, so that you will be e-mailed when there is a new post or comment.

Professional fouls

Does anyone know of a case in which a footballer has committed a blatant 'professional foul', such as picking up the ball illegally in order to prevent a certain goal, without any attempt to conceal the nature of the foul? Or does anyone know of a similar case in another sport?

Has any professional footballer (or other sportsman) ever been criticized for not committing a professional foul in such a situation (e.g. to prevent a certain goal)?
