Why do soccer players continue to dive at the slightest touch? ... [View all]

I say that 80% of all fouls are not fouls. The zoomed in replays show this constantly.

Don't the players know that video replay exposes them for their phony injuries?

I've seen 50/50 balls where players hit each other's foot and one goes down holding his shin.

Or a players goes down holding the back of his head like he was hit, yet replays show nobody coming close to hitting the players head.

And the better teams like Brazil, Italy, Argentina, ... do it more often.

The Italy/Uruguay game was ridiculous, bordering on the embarrassing.

Just an observation.
