the guy doesn't stop falling....
That's a PK
That should be a penalty
Komoany got away with that. I wonder if the ball was out of play.
Neymar relying on his acting skills now for the PK.
Officials HAVE to start being more proactive on carding this garbage.

At some point FIFA has to start handing out suspensions or cards or fines for the excessive flopping
that dude just rolled 15 yards behind the goal after contact...regardless if penalty or not excessive...
Does it matter that the ball is clearly going out? before contact.
should be penalty
Sad thing is if he would have stayed upright he would have generated a really good scoring chance.
He would be such a better player if his first instinct wasn't to go down.

Retro active cards for diving would do wonders for the sport
We all say this every World Cup. Hopefully VAR is proof that FIFA can evolve but seems like just "part of the game" right now.titanmaster_race said:

When u dive every play it affects your whole team
Brazil defending lukaku really well.
And I love that lukaku battles through contact instead of going down easy. Such a breath of fresh air when he's opposite Neymar.

When Neymar is heading into the box he has some decent opportunities but it sometimes plays out like his brain switches from how do i get a shot off to when can i fall and simulate a foul...bagger05 said:

Am I crazy or did Company actually get a toe on the ball before he contacted the Brazilian?
It appears that Brazil doesn't think they can score unless it's from the spot.
If they're not gonna card for flopping in the box, giving a PK for that last one would have been pretty harsh on Belgium, imho. Brazil = little boy who cried wolf.

Getting out of my truck now. That means a goal is coming like the first two times I got out of my truck and stopped listening.
Be alert

Yeah, that easily could have been a penalty but ref is clearly not sympathetic to Brazil's desire to flop their way to glory.GrapevineAg said:

The Belgium keeper is having himself a game!
Fellaini and Witsel playing great defense. not giving Brazil any chances on top of the box
Brazil's dominated this half. Just can't break the seal.
Just saying the same thing. Coutinho has no room right there.young eugene said:

This is the Kompany challenge. This is a bad miss by the ref and VAR. the ball is clearly in play and that's a PK and YC and borderline serious foul play with the exposed studs into the ankle.
the entire problem with soccer - and I'm a huge fan - is there is not a penalty below a yellow and refs are reluctant to give them for minor infractions.
My solutions is
Minor foul - no card but a 5 minute man advantage like in hockey
Yellow card - includes a 10 minute man advantage, 2nd = Red card
Red card - same as now with the ejection
Make the center circle the penalty area - they have to stay in there when serving a penalty. lol
Then start handing out minor fouls for all of these flops for example. And fouls that are not card worthy besides the free kick would include a man advantage.
Every other sport has some type of minor penalties to keep things in check and bigger penalties for flagrant stuff.
There is little risk right now for flopping.
Basketball for example has normal fouls and free throws, then flagrant fouls (level 1 or 2) and technical fouls.
Hockey has the minor and major penalties plus ejections.
Football has smaller and bigger penalties and then ejections for flagrant or targeting issues.
The 'Fro demonstrates that Brazilians aren't the only ones who can be histrionic. Guy takes headers with no ill effects, but a ball lightly tapped off his hair is apparently agonizingly painful.

I think Belgium content staying compact and will allow Brazil to play with the ball 25 yrds from goal.Brazil have no answer for Debruyne and Lukaku with Hazard trailingAustinAg2012 said:

VAR needs to fix flopping by handing out cards until it stops or is greatly reduced.
I wish they would just crack the **** out of Neymar. Belgium needs to watch some Costa Rica and Panama so they know how to Concacaf someone.
So many clipped heels
Uh oh

Interesting comment by the announcer that the replay guys have to watch real time and not slowed. What's the f-Ing point of THAT?!
Soccer is growing on me but stuff like that from fifa is just stupid. And agree with ZJS that something has to be done about the flopping. For as obviously talented as Brazil is, they are incredibly annoying.
oh boy
GOOOAAAALLLL
