This is bullshit. If Krasic gets punished for this than any player who dives in the box should receive an equal punishment whether they earn a pk or not.
Two matches seems arbitrary to me anyway. Had he been caught diving he would have received a yellow card yet since the ref didn't see it he gets a two game ban? That doesn't make sense, instead give him a yellow card and ban the ref for two games IMO.

There is no question he dived and he should be banned.
However, the fact this rule is not universally applied is what infuriates me. How many suspensions would there be every week if they video reviewed all controversial fouls? Easily dozens, considering how soft Italian refs are and the corresponding behaviour of players in serie a who exploit this at every opportunity.
Diving is a big problem in serie a, but the Italian media only make a spectacle of it if a penalty is won and/or a Juventus player is involved. It is ok to dive all across the pitch or fake injuries to get the opposition to kill their possession and/or receive cards, but the second this behaviour infiltrates the pk box, it's a scandal. If the opposite were true, Paponi would be serving a lifetime ban after yesterdays match, considering all his diving and injury faking every time Motta came within an inch of him. Maybe if his name didn't end in a vowel things would have been different for him...
It's a blatant double standard anyway you look at it, and the Italian FA is once again demonstrating how backwards they are (as they have done with the foreigner issue, calciopoli, fan violence, and up until this season, media rights).

I didn't understand a word apart from FIGC, but I sign everything you said up there 
Hey, FIGC, if you ban Krasic I pray to God UEFA screws you over Italy-Serbia.

Why are some people here defending the ban? do you want fair play? Go watch a different sport. This is football, it's how It goes, especially in Italy. Barcelona won the champions league with no fair play at all against Chelsea. Inter won against Barcelona with the first goal being offside and went to he final. Adrianos goal against Milan in 2008 was clearly a hand ball and even the next one against bologna was a hand ball too. You want to win right? Well sometimes when the team is playing badly you need to do something about it like fool the reff.
