Rivaldo fined for cheating antics

Rivaldo has been fined €7,000 by FIFA for his playacting during Brazil's 2-1 win over Turkey in Ulsan.

The Barcelona striker, who must also pay costs, went down clutching his face when Turkey's Hakan Unsal kicked the ball at the Brazilian's legs.

Hakan Unsal, who had already been booked, was sent off for kicking the ball at Rivaldo.

But Rivaldo's actions, given FIFA's pre-tournament pledge to clampdown on any form of cheating, drew widespread condemnation, prompting the governing body to take action against him.
