As I said last night I thought Sterling dived

but as you say for the Italians to complain about simulation...not to get all playground about it but it's because of all the teams gaining unfair advantage through diving that everyone else has kind of had to start doing it. I honestly wish they'd stamp it out - red for simulation in the opponent's half of the pitch or something draconian like that. I'd also take a leaf out of eggchasing's book and make swearing at a ref a yellow card. Neither will ever happen ofc.
