That and must not watch football getting upset about diving.. that's like getting mad at headers. That kind of sportsmanship has been second nature in football for a while now.

World Cup refs are good they're not buying that crap. Pepe should have run to the ref or just kept going, not confront Muller.

The key for the Germans in the second half is to not let up. Anyone else remember Sweden? Keep the momentum going.

What's annoying is the posters who mostly seem to come to these threads to complain about the diving.
We get it, you don't approve. Move on.

If one even watches a full game of football they will see dozens upon dozens of dives and embellishments. Every single match. It's as much a part of the game as headers. If getting rid of it were the prerogative of the international football community, it would have been done decades ago. I don't like it either but if I were to get my knickers in a twist in the same way I'd stop watching the sport altogether.

Every time Portugal plays Germany you take issue with the Germans. We get it, you don't like us. Be mad at Pepe for getting sent off

There has been one dive (Mueller) in this match. Khedira embellished a foul. That's it by my count

yeah that's BS. I don't think there was a single dive in the three games yesterday. England-Italy was good too.
In fact to me there's hardly been any diving in the WC. Muller grabbed his face ok... but really that was nothing if Pepe does nothing.

This post brings me back to the days people kept insinuating the WWE wasn't staged/fake. Good times.

Yes there was. I saw that match, and both teams dove and embellished an awful lot. It's second nature with the sport so for others it's not surprising they think nothing of it. I don't get crazy over it too (seeing people endlessly whine about it gets annoying), but to say it isn't there.. flat out lie.

To recap: If you support diving you're a true soccer fan who understands the intricacies of the game, but you're also a supporter of dirty cheating.
If you don't support diving you're probably a Man U fan, but you're not a true soccer fan because headers.

I could care less about you lot or Pepe.
Just hold yourselves accountable to the same standards that you whine and demand of everyone else. That is all.

You are getting crazy over it, that's why you're here.
Can we just talk about the game? It seems like you watch a game quietly and just wait for a dive so you can come on here and spout off about it.
