You can get a yellow card for flopping.

Almost never enforced at the highest levels, though...

I think the thing most people are really upset about is the embellishment. In most cases, there is contact or a foul -- but its the writhing on the ground in pain, getting sprayed with water, and then getting up that everyone hates so much.

Most definitely...I'm often amused by it as long as it doesn't result in something stupid like a faker such as Neymar getting a penalty shot for it. That god damn guy sells better than almost anyone.

Brazil down 2-0.

Good

Damn, going to be surprised if Brazil doesn’t get that penalty they’ve been diving for the whole 2nd half to tie it.

Pleasantly surprised, yay.

Yep...watching Brazil lose in the WC is akin to enjoying Yankees losses.

looks like the more you cheat the next game you lose.

Surez faked a head injury last game and they lose today.

Neymar faked a ankle injury and lost today.

I saw some of the France game. That 19 year old faked a injury where he made it look like he got punched in the face when nobody did anything. I was rooting for France but fuck them now.

Fuck this cheating ass international soccer shit.

Belgium!!

That was awesome. Thought they were gonna get a 3rd goal on the counter, but instead it turned into a nail biter.


Belgium vs France is the true Final of this tournament.

Tough match today for England. Don't underestimate the Swedes, when they handily defeated Mexico.

England will have to play a lot better than they did against Colombia.

This game sucks ass so far. Sweden’s style is boring as fuck.

Agreed. What is it about the style that makes this so awful. Feels like both sides are much more agressive defensively and challenging the ball.

My expert scouting report: that Sterling guy is terrible at scoring goals and great at everything else.

Okay, Fuck Sweden. FavreFan's right, I can't root for something so uninspired. I'm trying to embrace my father's heritage - French & Swedish - for a change.

Go France!

I’m in the same boat as far as Sweden goes. I’m at least almost half Swedish so I’ve been rooting for them but they’re boring as hell.

Sweden and England are my last two heritage teams left.. I’m at war with myself but I’m such a mutt I guess it doesn’t matter all that much. I’d just like to see a new team win so I guess I was hoping for Sweden (Although none of these teams should be able to beat Belgium or France)

the BBC announcers are already claiming "we know for many of you at home this would be the best football experience of your lives thus far"

football's coming home!
