Is it just me...?
...or does football seem to have deteriorated into a show of acting, cheating, and bias. Watching the U-20 World Cup I have seen incredible acts by players who are diving to draw fouls all over the place. It came to a head in the Canada-Chile match today when a Chilean player collided with a Canadian. He fell to the ground and appeared to be in agony to such a point that he was taken off on a stretcher. Less than 3 minutes later he was up, fine and wanted back into the game. What is up with football these days?
I am in no way a Canadian fan. I live in the U.S. and go for the U.S. I just happened to be watching the Canadian game because it was on.
and yeah, they should be tougher.

I totally agree, I think Italy winning the 2006 WC is a testament to that, dirtiest WC victory ever. I notice more and more teams just diving and crying, I think that it makes it especially hard on defenders since players flop so often now. I mean, when players start diving when no one touches them it is definately out of control (yes, I'm talkin about Henry, for as great of a striker that he is). FIFA definately need to step in and take control of the ridiculous play and favoritism with certain teams and players.

I agree, some players do that
BUT
I think you're like a lot of Canadian fans... you don't realize exactly how things work. As a player, I'll tell you, things like that happen and you'll be in pain but the pain can go away real fast and make you look like a liar. I think people always pretend like they know everything and that players should be tougher but honestly? A lot of the times it is being hurt but needing a few mins to recover.
But I did see a lot of crappy diving from Czech Rep. And even from Panama. :X
But I HATE IT when stupid ignorant fans dont realize how hard it is for some players to go so fast without falling with one touch... or how pain can go away quick. I agree that Italians dive like there's no tomorrow but still, a lot of teams that look like theyre diving may not be.
