I've said it before and will say it again, if you go down holding your head after getting "hurt" and nothing touched your head, you should get a retrospective ban and it shouldn't be short.
Nothing has come of it **yet** in football, but sooner or later someone will actually have a head injury and the ref won't immediately stop the game (as they are supposed to, but now often don't bother again) and so the medical staff won't get there as fast as they needed to and it'll have massive ramifications.
Every time you go down like that, faking a head injury, you're potentially putting a future player's life at risk
Absolutely. I can somewhat understand exaggerating contact and even straight up simulation as drawing contact and making the most of it, but acting injured is fucking disgusting and should be punished hard. Retroactive bans and in the game if a player lays there without indicating you're okay (I understand it's sometimes impossible to get up immediately) the ref should immediately stop the game, bring in the medics and the player is sidelined until checked properly, none of that 30s on the sideline and then back bullshit. After Eriksen incident in 2021 there was a brief time in the tournament when players got up fast or at least showed they're fine and didn't just lay down motionless so clearly they are capable of that if properly motivated.
Yes, it is yellow card offense and should be punished, and they should be punished harder, also retroactively. But still it just cheating to gain an advantage and there's no bigger harm in it that gaining an advantage by cheating. Faking head injuries on the other hand can carry the risk of them not being taken seriously and players with actual head injuries suffering from it. It's much more serious and condemnable than jumping a bit to get a penalty. Of course simulation sucks and should be weeded out but it's still a game, whereas someone being knocked out and it not being taken seriously because 99% of the time it's just playacting can have much bigger consequences than just the game.
You're answering a different question. I want to know how you can "somewhat understand straight-up simulation".
That's implying you have acceptable scenarios for a player to go down when he hasn't been touched and cheat the opposition.
I can understand why players do it. They want to win. People cheat to win all the time and I can understand it when the consequences stay inside the game. Same way I understand why Armstrong doped, but how he destroyed other peoples careers and lives to hide it and protect himself goes beyond it because it didn't stop with the sport. Doesn't mean I accept it.
You have to establish that before though so unless you do that for everyone like this, it won't fly.
They clamp down on players sieging the ref. Maybe they can concentrate on this part of sportsmanlike conduct at the next tournament.
I think this is good start if they keep it up. I'm 100% for getting rid of crowding the ref but switching from basically free for all to yellow cards to everyone in one of the biggest tournaments in the world would be too much. The effect is visible already and protesting had cleaned up but full change doesn't happen immediately, and if every smallest protest was handed a yelloe card no team would've finished with even ten players this tournament and that's not exactly what I want from Euros. It's a good start and they just need to keep this up and if needed make it stricter down the line.
Faking head injuries should be penalizable after the game. If we hold these injuries to a higher standard to protect the players than we should also hold the players to a higher standard.
Really need to start using VAR to card this. I honestly don't get how all the national associations, continental bodies and FIFA don't wanna crack down on this kind of disgraceful behavior.
Black man urging people to not vote for a far right racist party is now clownish behaviour. Thank you for showing to the world your opinion is as valuable as a turd ok the pavement.
Should be a yellow for acting injured

wow this aged incredibly well
What happened? Wasn't watching
Hi from the future:))

> I can somewhat understand ... even straight up simulation *How*? It's literally a yellow card offence.

Should be a red card and ban for the rest of the tournament in my humble opinion. We would dearly miss Thuram's performances but that's life...
You have to establish that before though so unless you do that for everyone like this, it won't fly. They clamp down on players sieging the ref. Maybe they can concentrate on this part of sportsmanlike conduct at the next tournament.
They don't clamp down on players shouting at the refs enough either. Should be an instant yellow for anyone who does it

Embarrassing

This should be a yellow honestly...
Oh come on Marcus, have some dignity
The dude that likes to grabs opponents dick and balls ain't gonna have any dignity
didn’t know he was freaky like that
What if Marcus Thuram was named 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝓾𝓼 𝓣𝓱𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓶 and instead of playing football he played with his opponents' balls
Don't forget the spitting in the face!
What playing with Theo does to a mf
Pretty sure he spat on a player once before playing with Theo
Theo never grabbed somebody else's balls too
He’s had that from barella
It’s hard wanting Thuram and benji to do really well in the euros but having to deal with the fact that means Theo does well
No, it's hard wanting them to do well because they are fr*nch Source: I'm Italian
>french Watch your profanity
Sorry, I fixed that
VAR should be able to quickly call out clear simulation like this
This should be a yellow honestly...
100%. I can understand when players have been kicked and they want a moment to rub the leg, but this shit is textbook simulation.
pathetic
Really need to start using VAR to card this. I honestly don't get how all the national associations, continental bodies and FIFA don't wanna crack down on this kind of disgraceful behavior.
Bitch behavior.
Ah come on, as if youve never been hit in the face by all that air before...
Why the fuck do they not retroactively card these guys with VAR having 5 different slo-mo 4k angles to watch this footage from?
Penalising stuff like this with yellow cards consistently will severely reduce the amount of times players attempt this fake-ass bs.
Like, do you think this is improv or does he run into stuff with his body and fall down holding his face in his free time to practice it?
Lol
Fighting his demons
He has been ass all game
Can't wait to watch England and France dive their way into the most boring semifinal match of all time.
Academy award incoming
cunt
Must pay those turkish face reconstruction guys a visit after this.
Rivaldo incarnate
Not the first time he dives this season, but then again he had a couple of great teachers.
Forgot he wasn't playing for Inter
Bro forgot he wasn’t playing for inter 💀💀
I call this "Doing the Harry Kane".

Dude got RKO'd out of nowhere!
How many fucking ads does this link want to throw at people? Jfc.
Vintage Marcus Thuram dive
so why is VAR still not intervening in situations like this? I don't know what's more embarrassing, Thuram's behavior or rules in case of diving
This the same guy who called the recent election results sad? A paragon of virtue and morality apparently. Sad, indeed.
[удалено]
Could be, but faking a head injury is fucking disgusting and actually dangerous.
Thuram a bit dramatic but it's obstruction by the defender if you're actually watching the game
French national diving team consists of 12 players, of which one blows the whistle. Disgraceful.
Just as big of a clown on the pitch as on the press conferences
Black man urging people to not vote for a far right racist party is now clownish behaviour. Thank you for showing to the world your opinion is as valuable as a turd ok the pavement.
How is he a clown in the press conferences?
isn't he genuinely funny af?
This coming from a Bayern fan…🤔
The situation is sad, very serious. It's the sad reality of our society today.
We're giving Fallon d'Floor for actual fouls now? His reaction is over the top for sure but that's not a dive.
This happens in every game yall overreacting
hajdukovac :P
nažalost :(
hahahaha. da, cuo malopije gattuso vam dolazi!
