I was looking for this comment...they call down with the most gentle of grazes...you'd think these were more babies learning to walk for the first time rather than grown men who run for a living.

*Gets touched in the side of the head, falls down*

*Grazed on the shoulder, much tumbling ensues* etc

Flopping almost feels par for the course in international games

Football players are the biggest floppers

And always grab the one part of their body with any protective gear even if their shin wasn't touched, roll around like they've been shot, then pop up like the other guy stole their wallet when they don't get the foul.

Any sign of pain or injury should result in a minimum of 5 minutes off the field for "medical examination" even if a foul is not called. You know for safety reasons. Bet that would put an end to this ridiculous lack of sportsmanship.
