This is bloody bollocks! Two semi-finals and two pathetic performances. Last night it was the Austrians and tonight it was Wolfgang. The Argentine players were playing him like a fiddle! His calls were atrocious and his decisions baffling. How can a man be so blind to diving? If it was ladies football it might be excused because of the cleavage factor but this is the Men’s U20 for Christ’s sake, it’s unfathomable! This leads me to an issue of mine…

Players deserve a lot of the blame for the amount of diving that takes place in the game today, but at the same time FIFA needs to be scolded for not doing anything to stop it. If players are continually allowed to get away with the act of diving they will continue to do as they either don’t think it’s wrong or because they know they can get away with it. They need to be taught that it’s wrong and won’t be tolerated. I’m totally against bringing instant replay and other technologies into the game, but I do think they need to bring in post game video review for disciplinary measures.
