The post in a soccer subreddit has sparked outrage in the community over a controversial ‘foul’ incident.
Summary
- Users express frustration over players faking injuries in soccer games.
- The community calls for retroactive fines for players who pretend to be injured.
- Comparisons are drawn to diving in other sports and its negative impact on soccer.

Confusion and Criticism

Reflections on the State of the Game
