My friends and I are disgusted with all the diving, cheating, simulation, faking and general patheticness that has been going on in football recently. After enjoying the recent World Cup immensely (we even went out to Germany), we were disappointed to see that one thing had let the competition down. This was the excessive diving that went on. We have been moaning to each other constantly over the course of the tournament, and have now decided to do something about it.
Our plan is to get a petition together to urge FIFA to do something about this diving. It is a disgrace and it ruins football. So, welcome to our blog. If you agree with us, please make your comments known and sign our petition (I will be adding this shortly).
Obviously, in order to get FIFA to take note, we will need a lot of support. It will be a long slow process, but I believe there are a lot of fans across the world who feel the same way we do! So please email your friends with this blog address (http://stampoutdiving.blogspot.com) and we can start our world movement to STAMP OUT DIVING!
I spent the entire morning reading through the comments here and it is just wild seeing how many people are as fed up with these fake injuries as I am. Every time I see a player roll around on the grass like they were shot I just think back to the frustration we felt watching the tournament and realize we really have to keep pushing FIFA until they actually look at the footage after the games.

I honestly never thought this would gain so much traction when I started typing out my frustration after the tournament because I was just annoyed at all the playacting during the matches. Seeing people from all over the place joining in makes me realize I am definitely not the only one who thinks this is ruining the sport of football.

Sick of watching grown men roll around like they got shot when nobody even touched them. Just get up and play the game properly like back in the day.

needs retroactive bans for anyone caught faking it. if they knew they would get a suspension later maybe they would stop embarrassing themselves.
