Respect to Overmars, doesn't even try to dive, he's playing like a champ against a great defender like Maldini.

[@JohnnyColtHD]

0:50 is for me a great example how football has changed over the years. Overmars tripped a bit, but stayed on his feet, even though he lost the ball. Almost any player now would go down to try and get the penalty.

[@ManchesterBurns]

JohnnyColtHD that's not true at all... So many players today who chose to stay on their feet, just as their we're players back in the day that dived and play acted. just that media. No one gets praised for not going down but the media does highlight the divers.

It doesn't matter if that team play the best football if they can't do a fair play. It's meaningless. You can never satisfied being a rich person if your major income is coming from robbing other people's houses, steal money, or from other bad things. It's the same thing from that barcelona team. Almost Always play against 10 man. Diving, provocating, always try to make the referee give a card to your opponent.
