Can we all agree that we hate all the play acting and drama queen antics mainly from Brazil tonight..
All horrible traits of the modern game..
 
Diving over a players foot and tricking the ref into awarding a freekick or pen. Feigning injury when minimal contact is pathetic behaviour but not diving(sadly that won't get stamped out). Diving can be kicked out of football and I hope it is.

Eduardo got a retrospective ban for diving after a Champions League game a few years back, yet there hasn't been another one since. Shame.

It's part of the game mate, has been for a very very long time. It's win at all costs.

Token gesture to celtic was a f***ing joke. Really needs to be a fuss kicked up over it more often.

otherwise we'll get to the stage where diving for penalties is the norm and fully accepted. Players sliding in without making contact will be deemed a red card offence.

Out of the world cup with a fractured 3rd vertebrae or whatever that is, don't like his diving but exciting player to watch so sad he's out of the world cup.
 
Excellent in the confed cup, carried Brazil through games at the world cup all at just 22 and some think he's overrated, unbelievable!
I thought he was overrated until the Comfed mind but he was superb as you say. Was excellent for Barca when Messi was injured.
 
Been kicked to bits throughout the tournament and now out with a fractured vertebra - perhaps he dives to try to protect himself from such injuries as he's obviously a marked man.
