Again, I feel dirty, but agree with Neville. Players have to exaggerate things like that where there isn't enough contact to bring them down but it's 100% a foul because if they don't ref's don't give it. Then everyone complains when players do fall over unnaturally saying they dived.. Wish a ref would come out on incidents like that and show a load of them on tv 1 after the other and say, "Why did you not give a penalty to any of these incidents"? Be interesting to hear there reasoning for it.
Refs need to give the foul regardless of where the player ends up but they often don't. A poor analogy is a courtroom where a barrister or lawyer will argue and emphasize the details that should be considered, to me that is all that going to ground is after an offence/tackle. Seems if you dont argue it you don't get it. Earlier argument about English verses foreign players going to ground and everyone's reaction will be put under the spotlight when England play Uruguay. Mr Rooney getting tackled in the penalty area and going to ground to win a penalty will be lauded by the British press, when that Uruguayan fella, forget his name, does something similar at the other end the response will be interesting!
As did Suarez against Spurs at the Lane when brought down by Walker, but that wasn't even mentioned as we won 5-0 anyway.
