Getafe Player’s Dive Was So Bad He Immediately Got Up And Tried To Pretend It Didn’t Happen

While we’d love for the VAR to fix all of soccer’s officiating problems, the truth is that it hasn’t really curbed one of the game’s most frustrating problems: simulation. Because any bit of contact can be picked up by the VAR, players are almost rewarded for going down under slight contact. 

But there has to be that contact, and if there is none, VAR will undoubtedly punish any offender trying to fool the refs.

Eyes bulging, brows knitted and limbs a collection of angular bludgeoning tools, Pepe came rumbling and tumbling toward Raheem Sterling in the back of the area after nearly committing a series of fouls with only one thing on his mind: to successfully commit a foul this time.

If there was an ounce of embellishment on Sterling’s part it was only in that he immediately recognized Pepe’s cruel intentions and tried to save himself. 

Sean Dyche Demonstrates The Beauty Of Matches Without Fake Crowd Noise

Sean Dyche's Burnley side may have suffered a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, but the English manager still provided a memorable moment from the Turf Moor toucline.
