Fucking BYU. Well so much for multiple playoff teams...
So sick of The $EC by E$PN..
But this is not about our football, this is about the rest of the world's football... except Austrailia, Canada, and New Zealand.
And come on with this....

The women's game has far less "simulation" cards. Its actually acting like a boy to take a dive. To the point its almost a stigma to not get right back up and play on.
The women's game doesnt view purposely drawing set pieces as an overly useful tactic and are WAY more likely to play through contact. Way less likely to go down at a minor breeze, even in the final third. The emphasis is on open play to possession restarts.
You only really see intentional dives to draw a penalty or a really close free kick.
Think of it like a flop in basketball. Moreso prior to the restricted arc rule change. And even with that, they still fall backwards to draw the charge. All you need is a situation where acting on contact has an immediate benefit.
