I was waiting for the official confirmation of Eduardo's ban to make this post official.
Apparently, Eduardo has been given a two match ban for diving. More precisely, Eduardo was trying to influence the decision of the referee by diving.
According to me, this is absolute rubbish. UEFA should be ashamed of this decision. What about players feigning injury to get a player booked/sent off? What about players appealing for a throw-in/corner even though they know that they touched the ball last?
Don't these incidents/actions count as influencing the decision of the referee? Would UEFA take action on these players as well?
In my opinion, a referee is there to make decisions based on what he sees and not based on what players appeal for. If a referee feels he has been influenced by the player or any other external force, I'm sorry to say, he shouldn't be in a referee's shirt.
UEFA should stand up, look in the mirror and slap themselves into reality. This is the most ridiculous decision I've ever come across. Yet.

After this decision, no other decision by any other Football Authority could possibly come close to taking me by surprise.
