Say if Neymar had got two post game yellows for embellishment already this tournament (not a stretch) he would be missing the quarter final match up.
That would tone down the diving quickly IMO.

The issue with that is even with video sometimes its hard to judge, neymars roll about the other day i dont think you can give a yellow too because the guy did step on him a bit
The other issue is some 'dives' are a player avoiding injury, this has happened a lot with bale and ronaldo, they jump to avoid a knee to the thigh at full speed and people call them divers, when in reality they are saving their legs
Its a hard thing to do, i wish there was a way to officiate it better but every idea has its drawbacks
Brazillians defending neymar doesnt help though
