Are you talking about that game where the contestants fall like they've been shot when they come within 3' feet of one another, complete with Acadamy Award level performances as they writhe in agony, only to jump up and dart away like nothing happened once the Referee has awarded them a penalty kick? THAT game??
I watched a good deal of the latest World Cup...and I'm appalled at what's become of the game since I stood in the terraces at Stamford Bridge singing:
Aye aye yi yi, Bonetti is better than Yashin
Cooke is better than Eusabio, and (insert rival team here) are in for a thrashin'".
Yep, it's been a while.
The officiating in that tournament was abysmal, and the amount of "dives" the players were taking in the hopes of a free kick/penalty ruined the game, imho.
Still, it's up the Blues, and up the Bhoys!!
