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
Ronaldo is a total genius

BTW, I'm not hammering Grealish, I just think it's a p!ss poor tactic for southgate to need .
Re: Ronaldo is a total genius
Yes you did in a reply to my post about cheating (which never mentioned Grealish)
Like I said stick to politicking
