What is $2000 for these overpayed pansies. Give yellow cards on top of fining them astronomical amounts: only then they’ll stop this feminine behavior.
Lol that’s like $1 to him so it’s ok
Three years ago, watching him play was so serious; now he is totally different.
In my opinion i think this is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. Every single player dives or fakes getting hit to try and draw a card or foul. Was there some contact yes but probably not to the extent to dive but again EVERYONE does it when they think it will benefit them. If they are going to start to enforce the rule than enforce it. Give VAR the authority to view it and contact the ref to check the replay to enforce the rule and punish people who fake/dive.
