Yeah, I can understand that. I don't think any football fan wants to see diving. The problem is that FIFA isn't really doing anything about it. I mean, Robben admitted during this world cup that he dived. He hasn't received any punishment for it at all. If they actually start retrospectively banning players who do it and fine them it'll soon be cut out of the game. Simple fact is, it's cheating. I understand they do it often in basketball too (I don't really watch it, but I've heard you guys call it "flopping").
