I don't know what it is, but some French players just look like they deserve a slap and Knockheart is one of them, though he's not nearly as slapable as Nasri.
The lesbian definitely needs a good slap. Ribery looks as though he's had far too many. Who's the fat frog who plays for Meelan. Defo needs a slap
There have been some good things in football that have come out of Europe but Diving,Shirt pulling,Excessive rolling around play acting when fouled,and demanding the ref issue cards etc are definitely things that have been detrimental to the game.Any player that can roll over and over 4 or 5 times after a being fouled should be awarded a "10 for execution" and then immediately red carded.
He chose to go down when he did. There was far more contact between him and Briggs, but he chose to stay on as it would not be so advantageous. He then gets the slightest touch from Cassetti and choses to fling himself to the ground with all the theatrics of an oscar winning performance.
If a player is fouled and it impedes but doesn't stop his attempts to get the ball so he ends up in a poorer position than he should have done then 99 times out of 100 the referee won't give the pen even though he should. Then people complain that players go down easily. Sort it so that referees give penalties when a player is fouled and there'll be no need for the theatrics and it'll stop. (other than for full on diving where there's been no contact, which is a separate issue altogether)
