UEFA has found Arsenal striker Eduardo guilty of "deceiving the referee" and could be handed a two-match ban in the Champions League as a consequence.
But if he does get punished, this will open a huge can of worms for UEFA and its President Michel Platini. Will they actively punish diving players in all European competitions from here forward? How could they possibly punish everyone? Diving is not a black and white issue - there's lots of gray area where some see a legitimate foul and others simply see a dive.
UEFA clearly needs to do something. But I think this is a path they should not go down.
