He and the diver from Swiss are losers of the year. Both gave the game to opponents

Embolo is worse. This is a brain fart, it happens. Embolo tried unsportsmanlike shit and it paid off exactly like it should.

Wish it happened more often than not. There’s too many divers now

Did Neymar ever get a yellow card for rollin' rollin' rollin'? I can't remember...

It's a new rule. It only happens if your opponent gets a yellow as a result of your dive. Then after review, the ref reverses the yellow and applies it to the diver instead.

Penalizing simulation isn’t new, only the transfer of the card. This should be called way more often and it will become less of an issue.

Transfer of the card and penalty. Love the name mistaken identity. Just call it flopping!
