Not speaking so much to the apparent change but the triggers... what has really changed to make it so jarring NOW is really my point... we're talking about a suddenly, massively depressed fan base and such as if this hasn't been the norm for a while...?? that is what's curious.
Results like that make me question match fixing. Really wouldn't be surprised.

This one is worse. He has no reason to go to ground here. He could have still played the ball.

I'm with you in the Suarez penalty, that was a joke call. But this one I disagree. The defender did himself no favors by falling down in the path of the attacker. I agree with the call.
I see it differently I suppose. It's unnatural to slow down and wait to be hit by the defender, who has fallen to the ground. Neymar was past the defender and could have got the ball. He didn't even attempt to reach for the ball. He waited and fell on the defender.
You may be right but I don't have sympathy for the defense. You can't trip up in that spot.
You shouldn't reward a forward for looking to fall over like that, I honestly don't care if ten defenders are on the ground... I've said it numerous times, flopping, and rewarding it constantly, is soccers biggest issue... certainly in this country anyway. And Roma is right, Suarez and Neymar are both embarrassments generally speaking,... they are world class players, they shouldn't have to resort to this garbage, and frankly any player caught so blantantly flopping (Suarez for sure here) should be given a retroactive card for starters, enforcement of that would clean this up quick.
I would have never thought seven Americans had scored in Champions League... That stat blew me away even as close as I follow our National development and such... I also never knew an American has won CL... with Dortmund of all things...

I thought for sure when PSG scored that it was over. Unfreakingbelievable
Pulisic, Johnson, Beasley, Kirovski... who else?
