What do you think about the pushing, shoving, fouls that happen in a football(soccer) game. Also the players fake injury and do a lot of drama which could win some of them the oscars. What do you think about the rudeness of players? Is it fun to watch them fighting? Or would you want to watch a clean game?

Though i sometimes enjoy watching people on soccer fight over a game. It annoys me most of the time. When they get hurt and fall to the ground over a soft kick, i mean really its pathetic.I play soccer so i sort of know what its like to get fouled, but pretending to get fouled all the time? Get over it. Jump back up and get the ball. I really would prefer to see a clean game because really, i watch soccer games to watch soccer. Not drama. If i wanted that i would go to a theather.

Hi nikky28,I just had to post a comment on your question,As i am appalled by the current lack of honesty in the game of football.First of all diving,Diving is single handedly destroying the beautiful game,It is a disgrace and if a player is found to be diving he should be sent off and banned for five games,Not the current booking,Witch is far to soft and the reason that it hasnt been eradicated thus far.I also believe that video technology should be used during and after the game in order to stamp diving out,If a player knows that his every move is being watched then he will soon stop throwing himself to the floor as though he has been shot.Now my second point of the attitude of players,Let's for a minute compare the attitude of footballers towards the referee,With the attitude of players in other major sports,In the United Kingdom and in the USA,Like Rugby,Cricket,American football,Basketball and Baseball.All of the afore mentioned sports have in place a system of complete respect for the officials,And what's more is that the officials make a decision and it is respected immediately,No matter how much one team feels hard done by,They just get on with the game,So i feel very disheartened by the attitude of footballers and their appalling hounding and harassing of referee's.
