Just let one of your D-linemen 'trip' and fall on the scrub's ankle. That should do the trick.
BTW, what's with all the soccer hate PB?
It's "the beautiful game", a battle between gentlemen, refined in the 19th century by the highest level of British scholars.
Lack of fair play will always exist. I coach a soccer team of 12 to 14 year olds & last weekend we were down 1-2 at halftime against an inferior team. Literally from the first minute of the second half, the coach of opposing team was telling his guys to delay the game as much as possible, meaning to wait as long as possible for each throw-in, free kick or corner kick. When the ball went out on the left side of the pitch, he called for the player the furthest away on the right side to slowly walk over and perform the throw-in. It was insane. The game ended 1-2 and they celebrated like they won the world cup.
I'm talking about youth sports at the very lowest level here. How should we be surprised when it happens in a situation where millions of $ are on the line?

The diving stuff is a distraction, but it doesn't ruin for me. Mostly its joke fodder, as we can see.
