Sure, there are bad apples on many of the other continents teams, but the South American's are disproportionate in exaggerated diving. When they don't though, they play some beautiful, beautiful football.
That’s a fair complaint and I have nothing against it. I think it’s still prevalent in the premier league and amongst English players, just look at Rashford. Also look at Robben vs Mexico in the last World Cup. At the end of the day players will do what they think they need to do to win in the World Cup.

Reina was not better
