What has that got to do with my post. I've never condoned diving, whehter it's France, England or even Chelsea. I despise cheating whatever it is, players feigning inury to get others booked, deliberate fouls.
Pretty certain I criticised Henderson, in this very thread, for pretending he'd been hit in the face wfrom a headbutt that hit him in the chest and only glanced onto his chin.
I want the football authorities to do something about it, but it seems they never will.
One thing though, just who are the world calss divers in the England team? Ashley Young has a reputation for it for Utd, but hasn't done it for England in this tournament.
Any diving that has crept into the Englsih game is a negatice impact of the non-English players in the Premier League. Monkey see, monkey do (though most primates have more intelligence than the average footballer it would seem).
I don't think there are many teams immune to the disease now.
