Too many fouls and too much diving (as usual). Not the way I wanted to see things end.
Ref's like him are the reason that players flop and stay on the ground: it works.
If I am a ref, here are some of my rules:
If you go down and you "show a lot of pain", then you better farking stay down for quite some time or I will call your bluff and red card you. And when you get up, you better limp around the field for at least 5-10 minutes during live play and not get creatively involved in any play - essentially taking your team down to 10 men for a bit due to your injury, because if you suddenly "recover" from the agony, I'm going to red card you.
One more thing, if you ask me to give another player a card, I will give you one.
Then again, FIFA loves the controversy of the bad calls so I would be thrown out of the league pretty quickly for exposing their stars as the cry baby sissies they really are.
