I dont watch soccer (us), football (rest of world) because of the stupid flops..... Its so annoying watching everyone flopping on the ground when most of the time they dont get touched.... maybe they should make it like the NHL.... When you take a dive in the NHL you get a penalty..... |
Well actually they punish divers with yellow cards if they notice it and if theyve done it for a penalty or more than one in midfield or any other position, thing is, there is a whole game of trying to get away with it and fool the ref so they are hard to spot, and the ref usually sees 2 guys running fast, one going at the ball and maybe touching the feet first, the other one is going to try to get advantage of it and pretend he was hurt with it.
So, to fix it, refs could have cameras and stuff to watch if the thing is true or not, but, that would make the game slower and less fluid. It all depends on the league anyway, you see here in south america they let you hit more, thats why some players start going to europe and have to change the way they play so they wont get yellow and red cards.
Thing is, some dives may look like they are nothing, but running fast trying to control a ball with your feet and a guy coming really fast at you and touching your feet, pulling your shirt or arm makes you fall, and leagues with a lot of hitting tend to have lots of injuries, so lets not pretend football is about diving trying to get a foul cause most of the times the fouls are real.
