All they have to do is beat Nigeria, a team they've beaten i think 5 times in a row at the world cup.

The diving is driving me fucking insane. It's my fav. sport outside of combat sports but this WC has been a notch above, the cynicism is just totally outrageous. Makes Serie A catennacio of the 90s look full contact. Honestly mexico/SK is disgusting me right now and i'm actually rooting for mexico. Holding this wonderful sport back so much blah.

VomKriege · « **Reply #248 on:** June 23, 2018, 01:02:01 PM »

I guess it's easy to say from the sidelines but I'm convinced diving could be curbed by stringent refereeing (yellow and red cards). But the powers that be probably don't relish much the idea of having one atrocious year of games finishing at 9 vs 9 and much like anything else it's not always exactly easy to judge. Otherwise heavy fines or suspensions by a commission watching recorded games. The tricky part is that must be impartial and even not to be immediately discredited by fans.

But it is absolutely hurting the game and doing a number on the pacing.

TEEEPO · « **Reply #249 on:** June 23, 2018, 01:09:44 PM »

the diving throughout the years has only pushed me further and further away from the sport. though it might have more to do with zidane retiring; i'm lost without him :'(

warcock · « **Reply #250 on:** June 23, 2018, 01:22:41 PM »

So many sick plays interrupted because of tactical diving just this WC. Parking the bus is one thing, it already slows the game to a crawl, add in 100 percent diving and we are at NFL levels of down time. We should relish in the WC being a game rather than a war that needs to be won at whatever cost. I realize the naivety of my statement but this shouldn't be driven by business like the the Premier league. :'(

It's really unfortunate few sports can emulate the sheer beauty of a sick string of tiki taka passes leading to a goal in a tight space or the individual genius of a phenom driving through 4 players alone. Give it back you fairies, it's my right as a citizen of the world.

I dunno if it's just me but these past ten or so years it's been especially egregious. I'm all for carding divers and punishing them severely. Don't care if it makes the game unbearable for two or so years, long term it'll pretty much fix by far the worst aspect of ever watching a soccer game.

Like, have you guys seen Neymar? Dude would rather dive than take a shot, and most defenses seem to be more quick to ask for an offside or whatever instead of playing defense. It's annoying as fuck and it's the reason I stopped watching regularly these past few years.

But VAR is and hopefully will change all that. '

And of course Germany would tie it with another shit goal. This is what they do. They're consistent.

6-1. Man England's defence is seriously questionable. If garbage like Panama can get past them what are they going to do when they go up against a real team?

Getting pardoned by the soccer heavens and scraping by on the skin of your teeth at the last few seconds

Germany showcasing proper skill-based soccer.

Would be a riot if they barely eke out a victory over the Koreans - and then Sweden manages to gut them thanks to a better goal ratio. I almost want it to happen.

if Spain ends up on the other side of the bracket it's going to be absurd because most likely it would then have Spain, Brazil (possibly germany), Belgium (Most likely), France, competing to get to the finals while the other side will have England, Mexico, Portugal and Croatia

And then the Iran guy missed and kicked it to the side of the fucking net to knock Portugal out. Poor fucking Iran.

I might be wrong, but haven't world cup winners universally sucked at the next tournament since France? I remember France not making it out of group stages, same happened to Italy after 06 I think, then there's Spain last time.

Like aside from Brazil in 06(which massively underperformed considering the talent at the time) this has been a thing, right?

yes.
