I wouldn't even say that it is an advantage in the modern game. Never again will you see a team like the 2005 Juventus team. Strength can be used as an advantage but by itself it can easily be bypassed. Brazil last summer and Bayern last year showed that a big, strong, fast team could play in what is more or less the finesse era of the sport, but they were set up to be able to be both reactive in terms of pressing, and technical in terms of possession. So strength can be an advantage, but it doesn't necessarily correlate like it did in the pre-2005 era.

Not sure what the exact number was but there were plenty that year.

and i have no problem with that. with strength comes lack of mobility, typically
this is more about the physical ability to accept physicality more than imposing it, though. you should be punished if you're weak
if you're weak and fast/agile and can expose a slower/stiff/strong team, then go for it

My 2009-2011 self is so satisfied.

They have a natural advantage and are skilled enough to be able to use it. Why is that an issue? They're not cheating by being short.

they cheat by flailing around when phyaical contact is initiated (or with neymar, when he initiates contact)
being short is how ronaldo elbowed mascherano. that was a foul
if 2 bodies collide and one is stronger, and it causes the other to be pushed back or fall, then that's a good thing

Being fouled and making sure the ref sees it is not cheating. It's poor sportsmanship, but it's not cheating.

In rugby and American football, not soccer.

that's stupid. it should apply to all sports. it's allowed for crosses in the box with a lot of activity going on
it should apply along the entire field and in all situations. the rules should be the same

Actually, it's supposed to be a foul. And if it was refereed properly, Celtic would have been in the quarters last year.
