Divers Are Cheats

There's many things I hate about the game, the ridiculous amount of money that's put in transfers and player's wages, Sepp Blatter (This guy I can go on about him till Jesus comes back) and even the corruption that's halted such top leagues like Series A. But nothing gets under my skin more than diving, it's the worst thing that has been brought into the game, and players like Ashley Young are disgracing the game, what player looks for a foul connects with the defender and falls down as if he's being possesd and receiving a deliverance prayer? Like a famous broadcaster/pundit said that they should be receiving a red card. I couldn't agree more, a yellow card is not enough, but with a straight sending off they will learn their lesson. And think twice about diving. Players like Young, Suraez, and many players in the Spanish league wouldn't even dare to it. A dive is just as bad as a two foot challenge and a hand ball offense. No player should be falling down in the box, and looking for a penalty, the time that your wasting in falling down and getting booked, that same time you could use to make a scoring chance or setting up your team mate. For years this has gone on, and yet FIFA have done nothing just as they've nothing with the racism issue, but I'll leave this topic for another blog. If diving is not stopped players will start swimming on grass and thinking their Micheal Phelps. And football is loosing its masculine roots as it is and I for one don't want to be seeing that.
