Round of 16 - SWE 1-0 SWI


STM

Recommended Posts

Seems like Neymar genuinely believes nobody should ever touch him. As if contact is an affront to the purity of football, which is ludicrous.

 

Football equivalent of Bieber. Man child.

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.

The contact equals foul comment was more a general point on the subject of players acting like they have liberty to do anything they want once they have been touched.

 

But, aye, as I also said it can be a foul and a simulation. This concept needs to be officially recognised.

The giving pens regardless of whether there's a dive or not will come in eventually in the same way everything else does imo. Stupid that it isn't done already.
