Colombia played some good football but their writhing around on the pitch every time someone brushed past them was hard to watch: so embarrassing to see grown men flopping about the beached flounders.
I watched some of the all blacks v france the other night, guys getting smashed down and getting straight back up. How has all the play acting in football been allowed to carry on?
its really not a good look; hasn't been for years...
Rugby allows far more contact by definition, in football it is more limited and incidental (you have to go for the ball) - and some players / teams like to milk that more than others.
As a result, I am truly impressed with how clean (by their standards) Uruguayans are playing this time. No red card, no goals against, no Suarez biting, in other words they look just not themselves. Maybe an easy group, but still - good on them.
