The pretending to be fouled theatrics are what really destroy the game. I love soccer, but refs continue to award this type of behavior and very rarely will they ever issue a red for “falling”. Only way you’re ever going to eliminate it is by sending the flying phonies off the pitch. It’ll never happen though....

It’s not just soccer. Watch an NFL game and see how the wide receivers whine and ask for penalty flags on every incomplete pass. I’ve seen soccer players booked for diving, I’ve never seen a wide receiver penalized for making the “nanky motion”.
