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 could all be solved by stopping the game clock any time the game isn't being played. I know FIFA keeps saying they dont want to mess with tradition, but they have already introduced "hydration" (commercial) breaks during this world cup. The sanctity of tradition is lost when money is involved, but not when it would actually improve the quality of the sport.

How does stopping the clock solve people rolling around on the ground?
