Are you required to fall down to get a foul in soccer? Do you ever see a foul called where the other guy is still standing?

no you're required to play for barcelona to get a foul called

>do you ever see a foul called where the other guy is still standing
It happens quite often. Usually when the defender grabs the other player or pulls him by the shirt. But there's still an incentive to dive and especially exaggerate the harshness of the contact because refs are shit.

I miss nerman, retired too soon

It helps if you can grab the ball anticipating you’re going to be given a free kick since the ref won’t call a handball on you

The correct answer is unfortunately yes.
>Getting specific players of the other team carded is extremely important because it will cuck them for the rest of the game allowing your team to attack from attack from the side where the carded player is.
>Most of the times, although there is a foul, the ref will not call it unless you dive, just try to be convincing when you do it.
>It's easier/safer to try and go for a cheeky dive and get a pen, than to actually try to score from open play. (This one is the most serious one ruining football for me).

You absolutely need to fall down and cry in pain to get anything out of a foul. Your pic is the ideal behavior.

This is the result of brown people and italians ruining the sport

The personification of El Diveo, unmatched king of flopping, the rolling on the ground one-trick-pony.
Feels kinda sad, lad always looked promising and with a lot of talent but never got past that. His only skill that peaked was to dive and roll around on the ground.

Or you could just grab it while it’s in the air if you play for argentina

>>150175926 (OP)
yes unfortunately. even players in the lowest amateur leagues do it.
honestly insane and i dont know how to fix it. maybe AI

thats the fucking problem and why flopping became mandatory.
Very few fouls besides sole of your shoe hitting the other player or holding someone back will not get called. You need to flop to make the ref admit the play got interrupted by too much roughness. It's a really dumb system but no one cares to address refing in that manner.

It's also why football outside of elite level is actually very rough and why you constantly get bruises and black toenails (or worse) from getting kicked, elbowed, shoulder checked, or stepped on all game.

that meta was so cringe.

>will not get called.
*will get called

>>150186172
Very well said
It's an unfortunate situation that needs more attention

>>150175926 (OP)
Well his spine was fractured without a foul being called, so yes he needs to roll and cry

also neymar never actually dived, sure he always made a big scene about it but they've always been legitimate fouls on him

Football used to be a gentlemen's sport well over a hundred years ago. There was little money to play for, and it was assumed that a foul would only occur if something was serious, i.e. a player falling. Players would try to play on if they could
Eventually, there was something at stake. Fame and money. To guarantee that the play doesn't get interrupted all the time for the sake of small nuisances, refs still tend to only call fouls if the fouled player "sells" it. How can they be sure it's a foul otherwise? This has lead to players diving and simulating and crying needlessly
Amateur football, especially in the lower tiers, is much more rough because of these developments. Refs will let a lot of stuff slide. Some players will still try to dive, but it's unlikely to work - and for every time it works, you get 10 cases of massive murderball, situations that would be clear reds in the pro world but are yellows or less in the amateur realm. Players will almost always play on if they can, even if they are injured
You can see it in the women's game as well: there used to be zero dives, but the general ref philosophy and the fact the game is getting more prestigious have begun to change that

Based wurst-ficker. Germans proving once again why they are the main characters of European football.

Thank you, Feijoadacabrao
A shame we're both far from success arcs
