IMHO that's why the game hasn't taken off on this continent. We like our male athletes to act like men. Do they even sell jock straps in Europe? Why?
And I used to play the game when I was young. Don't ever recall seeing a dive.

Absolutely!
Beautiful game when played well.
Damn shame that diving is such a part of the sport. As a parent I did not capitulate to my children's poor behaviour when they were very young (or today), yet the Eurotrash seem to reward/embrace such actions.
Pathetic. No wonder their economies are in the chitter if that is what is considered 'honorable'.......
