I don't watch football to see a bunch of grown men cry and whinge and feign being punched/hit/kicked.
Yeah I agree with Paul, I'm not sure what game you were watching but the Portugese were the ones diving all over the place and clutching their faces in agony when the defender grazed their shin. England were pretty well behaved today.
