Gabriel and Mac Allister's cheating is not just embarrassing, it's malevolent and wicked... players need the threat of red cards for such dishonesty and if that fails punishments after review, writes IAN LADYMAN

Football’s law makers like to meddle. The problem is they do it in areas that tend not to need any meddling. Like around handball and offside and other places that were doing just fine as they were. So here’s a tip for the meddlers at the International Football Association Board. Meddle somewhere that needs it. Meddle in a way that would be meaningful and important and in a way that would actually help the game. Please meddle with cheating.
