Going to ground without being fouled to try to win a free kick or penalty. Also called simulation. One of the most controversial topics in football. Every fan base swears their players never dive and the opposition does it constantly. VAR was supposed to fix this but the line between 'going down easily under contact' and 'diving' remains as blurry as ever.
"He's gone down like he's been shot. Replay shows there was zero contact. That's a dive."
