Hockey referees will call 2 minutes for hooking, then give the player that "embellishes" the hook 2 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct. In watching a little of the world cup, it seems like the players collapse just about any time they're even brushed up against, whine and beg the referee for a call. Wouldn't this stop if there were fouls called for diving?

diving is a yellow card offence (im a ref...ive got the FIFA rulebook right in front of me) but for some reason most of us dont call it....
and like said previously "this disguisting behavior is only found in italy"

Actually, soccer players can be given a yellow card for diving. The problem is that the referee cannot always see every bit of contact, so he/she needs to rely on the flow of the players. If there is a blatant flop--for some reason it is usually called in the 18 yard box--the referee will occasionally flash the yellow to the diver.

Diving in soccer is a yellow card offence. In yesterday's Netherlands-Ivory Coast game, Arien Robben was yellow-carded for diving.

this behavoir is only found in certain countries like ITALY! you can get called for diving and actually you can get a yellow card. for some reason refs dont call diving much even though it is a disgusting practice and is way too common.

yeah..they're supposed to give yellow cards for it....FIFA even promised to crack down on it this year.......but the Italy-US game proved they dont actually call it, Italians are pros at it....i love it when they roll around on the ground for 2 minutes....get carried off the field on a stretcher....get the "magic spray" sprayed on their leg and hop back up and sub back into the game...priceless
all that damn spray does is shoot out a cooling agent

I would love to have stiffer consequenses for those who do so that everyone isn't doing that. I can't stand when players do that and actually have the call go their way.

There should be but it would be hard to guess who's diving and who's not though.
