[Football] Brazil v Mexico

[Kinky Gerbil]

This game is unwatchable

Sadly with many talented players, cheating is simply ingrained, its instinct. Its default.

I've just sat here watching Neymar writhing around (once again) in faux-agony. Cavani for Uruguay, a monumentally talented striker who thrilled me with two stupendous strikes at the weekend, yet he'll go down if someone gives him a dirty look. Suarez, great player, but utter cheating filth at the same time.

It saddens me. It really detracts from their amazing talents.

Add Ramos - both feigning injury plus 'clever' fouls, and Ronaldo to the cheats list

I used to like Brazil. It seems like such a long time ago.

Thanks!

You’d think Neymar had just stood on a land mine by his reaction

Didn’t realise Brazil were search a bunch of diving whingers!

They seem desperate to hang on. So much cheating. Be funny if Mexico scored now

Mexican player stood on his ankle whilst Neymar was down. Very painful, yes

He barely felt it. He's a disgrace.

That's crossed my mind during this World Cup.

If we somehow stay in the PL for 10 years I don't think I'll ever take it for granted. Regularly seeing some of the best players on the planet on a pitch in front of me, I have to pinch meself sometimes.

Beats dishing out dogs abuse to Scott McGleish dunnit (fun though it was).

Rivaldo clutching his face from a ball hitting his ankle was the beginning of the end for me

Ronaldo's always been on the cheats list. Talent plus doing absolutely anything under the sun to gain an advantage, has always been his nature.

Neymar should get yellow cards every game. Doesn't matter if he's actually fouled, he's still trying to cheat the ref.

 

[maltaseagull]

****off Neymar you cheat

Absolutely pathetic. Why doesn't VAR get him a yellow for simulation. Same with Da Silva after what seemed to be a shoulder charge which is allowed surely.

I thought he had been bitten by a snake

I don't think I've ever seen as much faking in a World Cup. Its been a great tournament overall, but the sheer amount of playacting has been on another level to anything I've ever seen before.

Probably both

Appreciating the highs after enduring the lows.

Choosing to lose to Belgium looking like a great call now.

Willian. Lovely player, him and Hazard absolutely tore us a new one at the Amex. Their performances were only bettered by Coutinho IMO, who gave probably the greatest individual performance by an opposition player I think I have ever seen.

I totally agree with all of that. But all the razzmatazz and blatant cheating prima donnas, I can do without.

And yet the refs have so focussed on VAR they are missing blatant simulation.
