As per your signature, it's actually kind of true.
People call basketball NBA, soccer EPL, gridiron NFL. Who cares!

It doesn't have being the nation together, no, but I think that's the one thing missing from our social sporting landscape.
There is such potential there. It's frustrating.
You don’t think it brings the nation together.......... have you got your blinkers on
It brings soccer fans together. I don't think it ingratiates itself amongst the rest of the population as much as it could.
Might I add - soccer fans being hyper sensitive doesn't help.
Criticise footy all you like, **** illt probably join you!

Do you understand how stupid that sounds? You understand the rest of the world is in love with the game?
And there is always room for improvement!
I also don't really care about what Uzbekistan and Urguguay are doing, that doesn't affect me. The Australian sporting landscape, does. So all of that is kind of moot.

I have faith that they can remove the "simulation" - it was a priority a little while back if I can recall.
its simple. Don't stop the game for injuries. and if you do they cant come back on for 10 minutes. Yellow card and suspend serial divers. And I would also suggest not having penalties for fouls in the box or take them further out
Morell, it’ll never be stamped out. Hasn’t been stamped out in a 100 years it won’t be stamped out within 5mins.
I like that 10 minute off rule but the problem with this being a World game it’ll be hard to change the rule with all the dodgy pricks around the sport, especially the ones who play act the most and that’s everyone!!
Yeah I understand that, but I would never want to see the national Australian side revert to such bullshit. Which is what Jim was suggesting.

If we want to be successful though we have to adapt and if that means we need to “dive” or exaggerate contact then so be it. ALL the big and successful nations do it and that is why it will never be stamped out. The European nations rule world football and they couldn’t care less if a small country on the other side of the world doesn’t like divers or aren’t interested in the game.

Soccer is by far the biggest sport in the World and most soccer nations condone and actively encourage diving or milking frees. We can join with the masses or be left behind.
