Suarez and Robben are all that's bad in our game,both are serial offenders,that's what I meant.Wrong and bringing the game into disrepute, but as bad as Suarez biting someone on a football pitch? I think not.
Totally agree Otis. Watching Robben the other night got me irate and if I was still playing I would have taken a red card as I would have given him a slap.I know people have said how good this world cup is, but at the same time it is frustrating the hell out of me!
I hate diving and shirt pulling and cheating and it all drives me crazy.
I think at least twice in this world cup I have seen attackers break free of a defender ready to bear down on goal only to find they are deliberately hacked down, tripped up, or pulled back by their shirt. That for me should be a straight red card. Just don't see how that offence could anywhere be on par with a mistimed tackle where someone is genuinely going for the ball.
I've seen mistimed tackles where there has been no intent result in a red card and yet if any player pulls a player back by his shirt he gets a yellow, unless there is a genuine goal scoring opportunity. Twice I have seen players pulled back they have just been inside the opposition's half and that couldn't be considered a goal scoring opportunity. It's still cynical though and it still ruins the game.
Corners now too have become a total joke. You now have at least 6 or 7 players every corner kick either shirt pulling or holding or grabbing at each other. It has become a farce.
Time wasting too. Hate it and as for diving? It really needs sorting out as players are going down at the merest contact.
The most annoying thing is this would all be quite easy to stamp down on. I hate how cynical the game has become at times and it has tarnished my enjoyment of the competition.
A friend of mine who used to watch the City and liked his football packed it all in years ago,saying he no longer enjoyed it as it wasn't like the game he used to enjoy.The 2 wars aside, this is why I also dislike the Germans.
Thomas Muller should have recieved a post match ban for his outrageously over top play acting 'I've been hurt routine' when he got Pepe sent off.
I hate to see that sort of stuff and unfortunately the Germans are one of the worst for it, especially feigning injury, diving and surrounding the referee to get opposing players sent off.
I can love and hate football in equal measure sometimes.

Now I can see what he meant as it is full of cheating,feigning injuries,niggly incidents,and obscene amounts of cash etc.
Football is a simple game or should be and it can excite us fans when played properly,but I would have a hard job on my hands I reckon getting my friend coming back to the "beautiful game" now as he would barely make it through to half-time. By the way he goes to the Ice Hockey and to the Butts,so he knows all about sports that get stuck in !
Can you imagine Robben doing his antics back in the days of Chopper Harris or Tommy Smith,he'd only have done it once !
ive had the pleasure of seeing roben a few times in the last few years, once at the allianz and another at wembley for holland when he single handedly destroyed england in a freindly
i think he is a fantastic footballer,one of my top five in the world over the last few years but i also hate the diving , and he's a cheating C**T
i wouldnt say its the same league as biting or spitting , so chewy luis (i like that BBR)is the super villain for me still.
i also hate the groping every corner
the surrounding the ref
taking the ball into the corner
i also hate it when a player runs straight into another and gets the free kick ???
the game has changed , but im still crazy about it.
come on USA you can do it !hahahahaha, he wouldnt be diving for a penalty , he'd be diving for cover lol
