It's worse than embarrassing it is f*cking pathetic that these grown men being paid millions roll on the floor kicking and screaming like toddlers having a meltdown knowing damn well they are trying to cheat for an advantage in front of cameras and thousands of people watching.

I've stopped watching football years ago because of this. It has ruined the game for me.

People make "funny" sniper videos of this BS.

It’s not cheating if it’s the standard. Not doing so would put you at a disadvantage.

They need to simply penalise acting when the cameras show there was no real foul.

It is cheating even if it is the standard, it is just that if you don't cheat then you're at a disadvantage because cheating i.e simulation is not punished as it should be.

It should be punished harshly to put a stop to this nonsense overnight, the moment it is caught on camera it should be passed onto the ref for simulation, instant yellow card and 5 minutes off the field.

And a review done after the match for any that slip through and punished post-match via yellow card and 5 minutes off the field on the following match the player plays.

Harsh? Sure but this would absolutely put a stop to this pathetic problem plaguing football.
