FIFA To Fix Diving Rule In Football (Soccer)

As fans of international and regional football, Its sickening to see how the professional players hold themselves and we want a change. All the dives is giving not only the sport but your entire association a bad name, and its time to change it.

We push to change the rule on dives/flopps. The penalty of which should be a "Heavy Yellow Card" in which the team is forced to sub the player who dives immediately following the penalty, and if the dive is within the penalty box it is a "Straight Red Card" Dives are ruining the credability of the sport. It is blatant cheating and needs a more constant punishment to stop the players from doing so.

On another note, during the World Cup there should be either 2 extra linesmen so there is better clarity on the calls, or a head ref that has an overview with call reviews allowing him to watch the replays on a called penalty and reverse blatantly wrong calls. The World Cup is the largest stage of sports the world around and should act accordingly. Hold your association and players to a standard that is deserved to the be playing on the largest sports event in the world.
