I think I've become desensitised to divers, just another part of the game and far too many players do it to judge.

Same here, I don't get outraged by it. I blame the referees and assistants for allowing this nonsense to go unpunished. How many times do you see a player go down in the box only for a referee to wave play on instead of booking him for diving (surely if it's not a penalty then by default it's a dive)? How many times do you see a player stay on his feet when being pulled back and not get the penalty?

If refs took action it'd soon stop.

This is going to be another 2-1 comeback isn't it? If I could be arsed I'd stick a fiver in play on it to finish 2-1 to Greece.

We all do mate. That stuttering run up Neymar has been doing . All you're doing is narrowing the angle and decreasing the power of your shot .

Also they said they would be clamping down on stalled run ups and anyone doing it would have to retake the penalty. Neymar has done it twice now.

I hate that Neymar penalty trick. Seems really arrogant and showy, as well as pointless.

Whoever goes through is going to make history as neither have ever got to a QF.

Hope Costa Rica go through. Nobody sane wants Greece inflicted upon the next round.

Gordon Strachan spoke sense on the Suarez scandal. Morals shouldn't be an issue when it comes to football because most of them are absolute ****s in some way or other.
(I'm a Rangers fan but he speaks sense)

Correct me if I'm wrong here CB, but over here at least didn't the FA get rid of the rules regarding booking a player deemed to have dived, and essentially leave it up to a referee's discretion and recognise diving as part of the game?
