True. Football a/k/a soccer is a worldwide sport. Here in the US growing up in the Midwest, only the kids that sucked at football, baseball and basketball played soccer. That has changed as soccer has taken off and has become very popular. My daughters all played select soccer. I just can’t stand all the flopping that takes place. One team can completely outplay the other but a flop in the box brings on an unwarranted penalty kick and a win for the weaker team.

It happens for sure, but less often than you’d think, same with diving. Now that VAR is being tested and introduced all of those problems are going to lessen significantly if not disappear

They do it to try and influence the referees decision, but that part of the game piss's me off too.
UTD Never do it though!!

Haha some united player was naughty and got caught diving weeks back, it’s escaping me at the moment

I knew I would get a strong Euro response. Ok, why do your “football” players act like they have had a limb amputated when they barely get touched? Sometimes they doesn’t get touched.

I love the game but completely agree, it is embarrassing watching it when players do this and worse when it is the biggest names in the game. I don’t get how players think they can get away with it all with the multitude of cameras and analysis on every detail! I remember the glory days when a tackle from Roy Keane would have them rolling around for real.

Young was a true embarrassment years ago but has reformed his ways...although there is not much point diving when you are a full back!

See the great thing about being Canadian is that we are all diverse, while having English roots and being an Arsenal fan from way back playback when Thiery Henry used to side foot into Peter Schmeichel's net and made sir Alex chew his gum faster than a ticking 3135 movement's second hand is the reason why "Fuhbul" is the greatest sport of all time.

Hehe. Great player in so many positions that guy.
