Exactly how I felt! Guys feel contact and throw themselves forward chest first like they've been sniped.
I appreciate and respect the skill and fitness in the game, but geez I really struggle to watch the game.. even the commentators are boring and bit monotone. The crowd chanting "Olay olay" annoyed me too haha.

It's the biggest blight on the game, the theatrics. How do the players get away with their actions towards the ref? Throwing their arms up in air and gesturing "**** off" or the like. The Honduran manager was going ape droppings on the sidelines at the 4th official, for what, maybe a missed free kick?
It's the worst part of soccer and it really does stop me from watching any matches. I tuned in last night as it was our national team trying to make the World Cup, but I did turn over to other programs twice during the first half and then when the ricochet went in and made it 1-nil I figured it was either going to be 3-0 or the Hondurans would go the knuckle. Nearly both.
Start acting like grown ups and set an example for the next generation or the whole "show" is going to get less watchable.
Imagine an aussie rules player, at any level, throwing his arms up and the ref and flicking him off? He'd be laughed at. Rightly so.
I flicked back just as the handball was called and that was it for me.

I hate that part of the game and the simple thing would be to either card them or make them go off for a period of time. The milking of frees in Aussie rules though is getting embarrassing also. The use of video referees has been good for penalties but I reckon staging for frees inside the forward 50’s has become worse in the AFL

Correct and the punters hate it - how much crap do players like Lindsay Thomas, Chad Wingard, Joel Selwood, Luke Shuey cop for their antics on the footy field.
Watching the soccer last night, everytime a player flung themselves forward, chest out, arms out stretched looking to the sky after feeling contact on their leg, I felt like wanting to really kick them in the gonads so they had a reason to exaggerate haha!
Interestingly, Tim Cahill copped a pretty harsh kick to the forearm, he just walked around holding/rubbing his arm for a few moments and went on with the game - no life threatening behaviour and he prob copped the worst hit.

Another option, which is apparently being talked about, is change the length of the game to 60 mins but stop the clock every time there is a free kick or throw in. That way there is no incentive to waste time.
I reckon if they could award yellows after the game if they find a dive or dissent that was missed during the game, that would be good too
