The same thing used to happen to 2014 Liverpool... Suarez would dive all the time and always get punished for it, yet Sterling was even worse at it and got us loads of soft penalties. That's just how it is. |
I think that is more the idea of what he achieved in that game. 100 goals, make that news, not him trying to win that 100 goals by getting a penalty and not from open play. Trust me, he isn't rewarded for diving, there are a lot of football fans that hate that side of the game. Get hit in the box, go down. Doesn't matter how small the contact is. Middle of the pitch they jump over or continue on and the ref 'plays advantage'. The players need to get in the mentality that it also exists in the box, if he stumbles that's a foul, he has the opportunity to recover and score but if he isn't able to it's a penalty. But instead players go down.
All those players you listed dived and I don't like any form of diving. Cheating is cheating no matter where you are on the pitch or who you are. And both penalties in this game were both cases of the play going down regardless of the intensity of the contact made. It's sad.
Hmm, pie.
