The flopping is a big turn off to the American audience. It's gay.
Many fans like me hate it too.
The problem is more cultural. In some parts of the world, flopping/diving is actually encouraged as it is seen as "cunning" and "smart". It ties in with the "win at all costs" mentality that they have engrained since they were young.
The UK is similar to the US in that such acts are just seen as for what they are - cheating and unsporting.
The game was close as I expected. Brazil's team is mainly full of workhorses and lacks the quality it had in previous years. They got lucky yesterday.
Croatia would have probably won with a unbiased referee and with a proper target man like Mandzukic up front.
Croatia also needs to drop their goalkeeper for the rest of their tournament. Epic Sloth-like reactions on that dude.
