I can't believe Klopp restrained himself in commenting -- Mourinho would've been sidelined for a few weeks.

"There was contact, so he's entitled to go down there" is the absolute worst phrase to creep into football in the last 10-15 years. Lamela feels contact to the back of his calf, so immediately jumps in the air, lifting both feet off the ground as if that's what actually realistically happens in that situation and somehow the linesman calls it. Kane anticipates potential contact (of which there was none) and dives over. Tim Sherwood calls him "clever". It used to be called cheating but that's when the only players who did it were them dirty foreigners. Of course, England's #1 striker can't possibly be a cheating git.

Quotes from Pochettino.
Quote:
"Football is about trying to trick your opponent."
The Tottenham manager has admitted in the past that during his playing days at Newell's Old Boys and Estudiantes, diving to win a penalty from the referee was regarded as a skill, one even practised in training.
"Football is about trying to trick your opponent - yes or no? Tactics - what does 'tactic' mean? When you do tactics, it is to try to trick the opponent. You play on the right, but you finish on the left. Twenty years ago, thirty years ago, we all congratulated a player when he tricks the referee like this. That is the football that I was in love with when I was a child. Yes, in Argentina, but in England too. You believe that in England you were honest and always perfect?"
