The thing with diving is the consequences are usually worse. Its usually a dive to win a penalty, free kick or to get a player booked/sent off. The other incidents are minor in comparison 
   
No I haven't. 
 
Yeah I know of course my point is trivial, but cheating is cheating, type thing. Where's the cut off point?

Robben made me cringe in that interview, claiming hardship for honesty when he is the one diving. 
 
I prefer to be honest - get to fuck - you didn't prefer it when you threw yourself on the ground.

Apparently the media misinterpretated what he actually said. Apparently he admitted to going down easily, not to outright diving. 
 
Also, Di Maria

Not sure what's worse, the game or the commentating   Constantly slating Argentina saying there are far better teams than the Swiss, but there are teams who won't park the bus like they have. Its not easy to break down teams like this.

Don't think the Americans quite get this game, commentator on this feed just said Belgium had 30 shots, 20 of which hit the net.

Howard was superb as were the majority of his team mates. 
 
It won't be long before everyone is cursing America rather than patting them on the head patronisingly IMO - they're better technique away from being a proper force in World football.

No football tonight   the beginning of the end of the World Cup   anyone else go in to a bit of a depression when it's all over lol or just me? I guess the notion of another 4 years until another one doesn't help. I remember at school with mates talking about the future World Cup's 'shit, so when then we have X WC I'll be 27 etc!

Once England are out I care less about it all anyway so not really. The depressed stage occurs just after England go.
