It goes perfectly with how the game seems to have evolved into contact equals foul.
We need to move away from that asap. Use video and VAR to punish players for "flopping". Even if they are also fouled. That's not contradictory at all.
It would be really easy to do, but there is no will from anyone and the overprotection of Neymar is proof. Has there been a single card in this competition for simulation? Yet I don't think there's ever been this much.
Mexico as a team have been one of the worst offenders, so not too sad to see them out. Neymar is cancer though.
