I never get tired of seeing this goal, especially as Wilshere starts the whole move off in his own half.

OT: Yes, diving is a scourge in modern football (soccer). I really don't see why players can't be punished retroactively. Any incident of diving or play acting should be seen as bringing the game into disrepute and an immediate 3 match ban, 5 if your team actually benefit from it. As soon as you do that, players are going to be diving a whole lot less.

My problem with football is that it just seems a lot less physical these days than in the past. Players are wrapped in cotton wool. I still don't understand why they stopped the shoulder tackle.


And retroactively drop the offending team 3 points regardless of the result. That should stop these actors.
