Well you are a bit late, Torres is kinda known for his ability to act for some years
This dive earned a red card for opponents and helped Spain to win, why you are so furious?
Well to a lot of people it doesn't matter who you are or what team you are on, if you do something questionable it's still going to be disappointing. If we were talking about Ronaldo here we'd all be saying things like "yeah he dived 100%, what a cheater as usual" but since it is Torres and many of us are fans of the Spanish NT, the opinion is divided. Now I love Torres but I'm not making him out to be a saint, if he does something wrong I'm still going to point it out like I would with any player.
As I said I don't think it was a dive, or at least not premeditated, I don't think he set out to get that player sent off. But I do think that it's a bad reflection on him to embellish his fall so much. It's not so much that he fell, I think that's believable, but how long he stayed down was not.
You bring up a point that almost everybody dives or uses theatrics at some point, and that's true. So this incident of course is not going to change my opinion of him, I still think he's class and a better sportsman than many others out there. But if hypothetically Spain got to the final and were to win the WC because he or someone else on the team got an opposing player unfairly sent off... well that wouldn't be a satisfying victory no matter how much I support Spain. They should win on the basis that they are the better team, not the better actors. Torres/Spain shouldn't be allowed to break the rules in my mind just because I support them while I go off and be critical of other players/teams who do the same thing. It isn't right.
That's just my opinion though.
"needs to stop being a huge pussy" no he doesn't. as long as video technology is not introduced into the game there will be players that fall with the wind blowing in their back. so NO, busquets should keep on filming.
I'm pretty sure even if they did introduce video replay technology, it would only be used to challenge possible goals. I think if every foul was challenged via replay it would just waste more time than it is worth. It would probably cut down on the diving especially if being caught diving on camera was a guaranteed yellow card, but I still think it would give players even more reason to whine about fouls in the hopes that maybe the ref would see it their way. Unless of course they capped a limit on how many challenges could be made, like 3 per team per game, because then they'd think twice before challenging and only challenge things that are really meaningful.
Do you mean to say that it is FIFA's fault for not introducing this technology that divers are so prominent, with your Busquets comment?
