Diving (or simulation - the term used by
FIFA) in the context of
football is an attempt by a player to gain an unfair advantage by diving to the ground and possibly simulating an
injury, to appear as if a
foul has been committed. Dives are often used to exaggerate the amount of contact present in a
challenge. Deciding on whether a player has dived is very subjective, and one of the most controversial aspects of football discussion. Players do this so they can receive
free kicks or
penalty kicks, which can provide scoring opportunities, or so the opposing player receives a
yellow or red card, giving their own team an advantage.
