If they didn't dive at every opportunity they might not have been so embarrassed!
Is it a dive if when the penalty is awarded they immediately advise the ref against it? Surely the point of a dive is to win a penalty... Why then tell the ref he's wrong?
@PeterGage See players advising the refs they're wrong despite their many years experience.

Yes of course it's a dive! In most cases, it's only embarrassment and knowing that they will be seen as dives when analysed that sees them 'fess up. I don't know if Germany has post-game "simulation" penalties, as we do here; maybe that's why they all admitted it?

It's not always black and white, penalty or dive tho and that annoys me watching games here as well, if a player goes down and no penalty is awarded people are saying why isn't he being booked for diving, when it's not straight forward and that, sometimes momentum takes a player down and it's not a penalty nor a dive

Exactly Paulie, 3/4 of the ones in here seem to be exactly that. Only one bloke looked guilty as he told the ref so I'm left to assume for many it was momentum and avoiding challenge... But I am an optimist.

lack of contact doesn’t mean no foul
