Buying a foul isnt diving or cheating and I think starting with Elwa a few people are completely misunderstanding what the term relates to in the context it was used by Southgate or is used just in general.

Buying a foul comes from the skill of showing just enough of the ball to the opposition player to make him think he can get it and then at the last second taking the ball away as the tackle comes in. As a result the attacker either skips past the player or gets fouled.

When teams are defending well as a unit and not over committing a good tactic if you have a player good enough is to draw a tackle from them and if need be win a foul when they miss the ball and kick you.

Make your own minds up as to whether Grealish dives and goes down to easy but at least try and understand what someone is referring to before starting to call them disgraceful otherwise you just come across as it bit melodramatic and foolish
Riley brought up Grealish 🤣 we were talking about Ronaldocheatingwhiningshit ... I just pointed out Grealish has a history of diving and I don't think anyone can really disagree 😁

I guess I'm asking if they really believe it to be the best use of their undoubted talents.
BTW, I'm not hammering Grealish, I just think it's a p!ss poor tactic for southgate to need .

Yes you did in a reply to my post about cheating (which never mentioned Grealish) 😁

Grealish doesn’t hang a leg out to create contact. He shields the ball and carries it very well. He’s extremely difficult to dispossess and as a result he is fouled, a lot.
Like I said stick to politicking 😉

Read the thread back BC, I didn’t bring Grealish into it, not that it matters.
