Point three, if you're calling for video replays to be used in football then you need doing away with. I might deem goalline decisions to be acceptable but it just wouldn't work as the game doesn't stop if it's not a goal.

Point four is also ridiculous considering the whole game of Rugby is centred around beating the crap out of eachother. You can't exactly dive in a rugby match so why would the players do it anyway? If there was as much advantage to be gained by diving in rugby as there is in football than you'd see Chabal turning into Drogba overnight.

You can always let the play finish and wait for the next dead ball. Would be better than the ref not counting a goal that went in knowing how hard it is to score them

For point 4, players should get suspended after the game when you can see on video that they obviously dove. Then you wouldn't see quite as many players diving

How about cup games?

Passion is just a way of saying "significantly lacking in talent compared to the opposition, but trying hard is good enough for me." And yes, I do want my team to perform well. Intangibles will never win anything on their own.

I think it's something that could be better, but its pretty low on the list of things that need to be improved in the England football team

i.e. a manager with a clue and some proper tactics should be looked at first
