        I dont want to be the guy bitching about diving, I know I can turn off and not pollute this threat.

        But fuck me it's a blight on the game. Football can be such am attractive game, but when an entire match can turn on somebody cheating , it's hard to enjoy.

        This Aussie / Tunisia game is only halfway through, and there has been at least 10 incidents of faking injuries (with miraculous recoveries) and diving.

        I cant for the life of me understand why authorities don't try harder to stamp it out.

          I'm quite amazed at the lack of finishing in most games.

          Tunisia are creating plenty and look dangerous but can't turn it into shots on target so it means little.

              Anyone who jumps back up after faking should immediately get a yellow card.

              They were scared of wearing an armband being a yellow, after all.

                      @voodoo Drove me away from the game too. Obviously there is not enough will to change it or perhaps it is a means to protect the big contracts of Neymar etc. There are also so many groups of countries with some being more cynical and theatrical than others. Try watching the Copa America.

                        Not going to lie. I'm finding this tournament bloody boring. Hopefully the last round of group matches and the knock out will be more engaging.

                          Well just when you think Denmark are done they score a cracker of a goal. The French defender Hernandez is pretty impressive both as a defender and moving forward. Great game.

                            In general the group stage games tend to be more exciting. As the tournament progresses teams become more averse to losing and their play reflects this

                                    @voodoo I swear that professional footballers need to be good actors too.

                                    I watched most of the Argentina-Mexico game around the live rugby. Messi and co survive to fight another day. The Italian ref wasn't falling for all of the diving.

                                    Now Germany has their WC final tomorrow against Spain.

                                      70% through "FIFA Uncovered" and none of the onfield shit surprises me.

                                      Football doesn't really need more fans, but they could get them if they'd stop the bullshit.
