@roma45 saidSouth American football is a different game. Every bump sends waves of pain and players crumpling in agony. Professional athletes who can be knocked over by a wayward sneeze. And up 1-0 in the last half-hour - everyone is suddenly cramping. Three players all on the ground looking at each other - I thought it was my turn to cramp up?
With the cheating diving and unsportsmanship going on
England would be at home in the copa America.
Just wait till sterling dives against English teams next season..the double standards from fans will be laughable...
It seems in Europe players usually try to stay on their feet and finish the run. It is fair to question the Sterling pen (and we will for a generation) but it was not professional quality diving. Players are taught at a young age - if you are pushed in the box fall. Like the cynical jersey pull when defending the quick counter - it isn't easy on the eyes, but it is smart football.

@roma45 saidOne more edit and the alerts will be flagged up directly to Russ, via his new “ALERTATRON-A-SCOPE which I bought him for his birthday…and seeing as how it’s a Sunday afternoon and he’s probably getting an cheeky pre-footie snooze in, then I’d be careful.
Just got another alert for doing an edit.

@roma45 saidReally? Maybe nothing to do with what you said? We will soon see if one goes up as soon as I enter this, if it goes up afterwards then someone is doing it.
Weird..try C. Heating
Wow an alert for that

@very-rusty saidSorry Rusty, what are you saying to who?
Has a Scottish player never dived before?
This also got alerted?

@anitya saidI totally agree.The angular momentum will remain the same while the diver is falling, but what the diver can change is his or her moment of inertia. How? By moving one’s limbs closer to the point of rotation,which should decrease the moment of inertia and therefore increase angular velocity. That’s why you see divers in more scrunched up tucks spinning faster. Stretching the limbs out will increase the moment of inertia, therefore decreasing the angular velocity — which is essential for a neat and flawless dive in the penalty area.
