the diving does my head in and i actually like the game. i'm not talking about exaggerating contact because i feel sometimes it's necessary since refs feel you need to be assaulted for a foul to be called (same for basketball), where just impeding or putting a player off should be enough. if you've ever played basketball you would know that one of the easiest and most effective fouls to get away with is just tapping a player on his elbow while he's shooting. people will watch a game and swear that's not a foul.
anyway, the play acting and rolling around like you've been shot and then popping up a few minutes later just makes me angry. i use to like watching brazil, now i hate the sight of their kit because i know it's going to be play acting on top of play acting, bunch of pussies. i hate pussy teams really, i honestly can't say what i would do if arsenal turned into the kind of team, it goes against everything i stand for with regards to toughness. i'd probably be a hypocrite and find a way to defend the cunts.
