Sick and tired of players diving and trying to con the referee in football these days. The sooner they make both a red card offence the better

Kane is forever claiming for things. Becoming a real pain.
France definitely the best team to watch. Repeat of final from last WC.
12 Jul 2026 08:53:59
Jasp, I felt that last night and I really like Kane.
That's something that's crept into his game.
12 Jul 2026 09:04:06
Kane's antics last night were a disgrace.
If I'm the ref, I'm having a word, and then next he gets booked.
Constantly at it.
Cmon Argentina!
12 Jul 2026 09:26:13
100% YMM, should have been at least booked for simulation, it's cheating, nothing more, nothing less.
12 Jul 2026 09:27:10
Jasp, altho I agree, France are the team to watch, Mbappe dives all the time, Portugal has Ronaldo diving, Spain has Yamal diving. It happens with every team, there will always be 1 player and it pisses me off, I miss football where hard tackles were allowed.
12 Jul 2026 11:43:39
Kane wasn't nearly at his best last night, can't see Argentina knocking England out, Jasp.
12 Jul 2026 12:30:49
Kane being Captain means he has to argue every one of his team's points.
12 Jul 2026 13:26:20
A family member pointed out to me that whatever part of Kane's body is hit in one of his theatrics, he always lies there holding the same leg as being in pain!
12 Jul 2026 13:39:56
They were all at it. The slightest touch and they were down screaming for a foul.
Norway got nothing. Anderson had his hands all over Haaland and the only reason the goal got disallowed was because he was the one that fell to the ground.
Was really good to see VAR reversing the penalty decision though. That form of conning the ref has no place in the game.

Diving has always been part of the game. I see fans complain about diving one week, then complain when their own striker doesn't go down and give the referee a decision to make the next week.
Also, using words like "cheating" is out of line. Scott Brown called Jamie Walker a "cheat" for diving about 10 years ago.
Anyone remember that? The same Scott Brown who would later take a dive in an Aberdeen shirt to get Ryan Kent sent off (it was called "gamesmanship" then, not cheating). I hate hypocrites.
When the ball goes out for a throw in, every player shouts the decision should go their way. So every team is guilty of cheating.
12 Jul 2026 14:26:10
Whatever happened to sportsmanship.
12 Jul 2026 14:30:24
Argentina will beat England.
12 Jul 2026 14:33:04
Not hypocritical when it's simulation, a bookable offence, or cheating whether u like it or not, use as many examples as u like everyone of them is technically cheating, no matter what player it is or what team it is. Kane dived/ feigned injury and there was no contact as shown several times, but have fun bringing an ex Celtic player as an example. ?
12 Jul 2026 16:14:57
Every team calls for every throw-in. Sometimes even corners or goal-kicks. That is trying to gain a sporting advantage, is it not? So you would need to concede that every team on planet Earth is cheating on some level.
12 Jul 2026 16:38:45
Totally different, and if you can't see that then I can't help you, simulation is in no way similar to what you're saying. One's a bookable offence, the other isn't.
12 Jul 2026 17:40:08
It's not different. Cheating is cheating. If you can't see that I can't help you.
12 Jul 2026 17:55:01
If yous want to talk about a dive, look at the Swiss one last night. Embolo got took out with an Argentinian sniper, second yellow off he went.
12 Jul 2026 18:21:19
Big, watched that game. Switzerland were taking control before that red.
12 Jul 2026 18:02:15
Absolutely bonkers take, u just can't understand the difference thick as mince.
12 Jul 2026 19:48:26
Mystar, I thought the same. What that Embolo thought he was doing is beyond me, no one was touching him. Even without Embolo, they controlled Messi, but that would happen when ye need him to have shots on target for a few k. ? Hope it's an England France final. Mbappe hattrick break there, Hearts. ????
