I think this is a good example of just why diving is a thing in football

Griezmann clearly takes a high boot to the thigh, and that alone is a foul and therefore it should be a penalty. BUT it wasn't enough to actually make him lose balance and therefore the referee probably wouldn't blow the whistle. Therefore he feels like he has to dive for the referee to even notice the foul in the first place. In a way it's a bit of a similar incident to what happened with Mane against Leicester earlier

The problem is that fouls aren't given so much for infringements but rather the results of them. It shouldn't matter if an attacker falls over or not if you give him a tackle; a foul is a foul either way, but that's rarely how referees act in football, and that is sadly why diving is still a thing

Reason why we have VAR now but I am not sure they use VAR in this tourney. Dives should be a red card if they try to get penalties but as an Icelander I say it was a penalty but there was an instance where there should have been a red card for a dangerous foul from a french player.

When there is contact its not diving... its exaggerating the fall. Many attacking players provoke a contact and then act as if they were tackled. Sometimes its really hard to know where to draw the line. But diving and drama is a thing in football.

Having said that... dont ignore that even the defensive players have their dirty tricks. Like slightly pushing a player in the back before he jumps. Or pretending not touching the attacker by putting their hands in the air but still lets their body get in the way to stop him.

I personally hate this but it is what it is and we have to respect that the refs try their best.

Yes very true it was an exaggeration. I played football for 11 years and as a former player no dives do not belong in football and it should not be tolerated. If we do it stops being the best team wins but who can act the best. I have always joked that many players can go into acting after they stop playing.

Have to admit I played football last week and the same thing happened. I didn't fall but completely threw me off the shot and hurt like hell, but I agree its a penalty. In football now people are told to throw themselves once contact is made to get penalties and critical fouls

About 4 players of Iceland playing with long shirts. 4 players of France playing with short shirts. Should hav been a draw.
