    Must say, don't think that's a penalty. Koke isn't playing the ball he's just waiting for the other bloke to try and kick it and then sticking his leg in the way.

    Yeah, can't believe it was awarded and people here agree.

    That was a foul by Koke, he basically tripped the Slovak player there.

    If it was in front of the goal and that would be the defender trying to stop the shot the way Koke did, it would be awarded as a penalty. Why the hell in the reverse situation they punish the player who was impeded to play the ball?

    I mean, the diving situation is awful, I'm not arguing it's not, and I'm all for seeing how we can change it and there's many factors, but your suggestion of booking players if they go down theatrically but aren't injured makes absolutely no sense. How other sports are has absolutely nothing to do with this. How theatrical is too theatrical? How injured is injured? This is my point, it would be absolutely impossible to make fair judgements especially as a player going down holding their ankle but being able to carry on doesn't mean they didn't get hurt.

    It would be absolutely possible to make such decisions.  There will be dubious ones and then the players shouldn't  be puniahed but there ia nothing impossible in identifying  a YC offense (already in the rules) of players rolling and lying motionless only to jump up and run full speed when they notice they were not given a decision.
