I think the important thing there is whether she eats the chicken, not whether you do.

Man United is the worst in the premier league for flopping and diving - a bunch of emo ass pussies...
La Liga and Serie A are two major leagues that are plagued with diving and flopping...
What I hate is watching a game in Champions league one team from a fast hard hitting league, and one team for a slow don't hit me bro league... It's painful

Bale had a shameless dive in the Tottenham-Arsenal game.
It's funny. Arsenal is always accused of being a team of weaklings but they don't flop as shamelessly as a lot of other teams.
Also the EPL is very xenophobic when it comes to floppers. Foreign players get crucified for things that arn't even dives, but whenever a British player dives the commentators always describe it as "going down easily" or "anticipating the contact."  |

I hate people who take dives..
winning by any means, just the nature of the game.
I believe it should be fixed with another referee that has a birds eye view, then again it adds a element to the game which makes it a bit more interesting.

the worst floppers are the middle eastern teams. granted its part of their game since they play in scorching conditions and need a rest but when you see them do it on a 22 degree evening away from home it gets a little old.

This. Add someone in the booth with access to video who can inform the on-field ref quickly with what happened.
They should also consider post-game yellow/red cards for blatant flopping that isn't picked up at the time.
Anything that reduces flopping would help the game. It is detestable that deliberate cheating is rewarded to the extent it is in soccer.
(and yes, I know it happens in other sports as well, but soccer is the worst). The players are even proud of their cheating (remember the 'hand of God'? That guy became a national hero even after admitting that he cheated to win).

100% agree with this...
I can totally appreciate not wanting to interfere with the play and flow of the game. And I am completely understand that the refs can't see everything 100% of the time. But after the game, there is an official review - this already happens and the refs get graded on their performance. Which means someone is looking at what really happened...
WTF aren't there post game corrections to cards, discipline etc???

The way to deal with this is not actually post game cards.
It's post game fines.
