    There’s way too much bullshit flopping, but sometimes it’s the only way to get the ref’s attention when an opposing player makes a shitty move that doesn’t hurt but is definitely against the rules.

    Or sometimes they just never get touched but are magically thrown to the ground with a broken leg which also magically heals seconds later.

      Maybe they should fix the way refereeing works then. It’s not like the rules were written by Jesus or something.

        I see you’ve never heard of FIFA. Lucky bastard. I’m paraphrasing, but Sepp Blatter said something like “it’s a human game, mistakes must happen”

        Not to mention the utter hate from football fans of objective rule enforcement like VAR. Add them and you have a perfect storm of people not wanting to fix a problem blended with a governing body that is conservative to a fault.
