And equally, there's no point in us not joining in when every other nation does it and beats us with it. It's not nice to watch, but we have to evolve to survive. Unfortunately it's the nature of the game now. You might not like it, but the alternative is that the rest of the continentals do it and get away with it, and use it to beat us.
A foul is a foul. Doesnt need or excuse a player throwing themselves to the floout. And i dont care if others do it. We shouldnt sink to their level
It's not sinking to anyone's level, it's just playing to game a different way and using certain things to your advantage. If FIFA and UEFA don't stop it, what benefit is there in us taking a moral high ground? When in Rome, and all that.
It isnt playing the game a different way. Its cheating, pure and simple. And that in my opinion is disgusting and something i will never condone
And no complaints of Ribery throwing himself to the floor with a couple of rolls thrown in for good measure.
What, the ref gave us nothing. Never saw them chucking themselves ti floir. Gerrard was fouled 18 yard out, nothing. You cant be negative about game so have ago at players.
What I saw was Ribery deliberately blocking players off, and Frenh players taking out teh runner time and again. Plus clear fouls that the ref didn't give. It was like watching Barnsley! We only get **** refs!
The ref was **** and the french players were throwing themselves to the floor but lets be honest so were some of the england players and that is disappointing to me. Its disgusting when either team does it but it bothers me a little more when its my team cheating.
