Why is soccer the target? Do you get up in arms in basketball when a player flops to fake taking a charge? Those calls can change the game. Or if a punter or QBs named Tom Brady fake getting hit to get a 15 yard penalty to extend the drive? Should that team have to forfeit?
Get better refs, Get two refs!
Thank god latinos don't play hockey.

So why are you a Flames fan and not a canuck fan?
Soccer is a target because it happens 100 times a game. I haven't seen many players in the NBA flop and they have to stop play for 5 minutes getting a stretcher.
and using football players as examples is just ridiculous. Plays are so short and quick you don't have time to think about diving. But yeah Brady sure faked that injury. He did it so well he missed the rest of the season after week 1.
Soccer could be a better sport if they would stop thinking it's the 1800s and get with the times.
