And about 90% of those suspended will be those jumping out of the way of knee high tackles. Unfortunately most of what is described as a dive, in English football anyway, is actually legitimately jumping out of the way of a dangerous tackle.

Not excusing what happened last night, but even then (as was mentioned on RTE last night) the worse grievance Croatia had was Neymar only getting a yellow for flaking a Croat across the head in the first half. If he got the red as he so easily could have done, the game would have finished differently.

I'm sure your outrage has nothing to do with who it was. Clearly diving is taught well in your country. wink

But yeah, I wasn't anywhere near the computer when it happened. It was a shameful dive.

Brilliant goal from van Judas though. Fucking prick.

Also, amusingly Ruud van Nistelrooy is in the studio on US television and he was whining about the dive. That takes some chutzpah given his slippery hooves.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

The Spain penalty was soft, but it wasn't anywhere near as difficult to imagine why the ref gave it.

Loving watching Spain losing

Holy cow, what's going on with the referees right now? Earlier today, two of Mexico's goals were not counted and now Casillas was clearly bodychecked leading to another irregular goal...
