After seeing the replay, I thought that Balo was trying to put it around Luiz and get to the other side. Once Luiz stepped into him, he went down rather than stumble toward a ball he wouldn't get. It's not a dive because his reaction was consistent with the force of Luiz's tackle. IMO, it should have been a free kick for Man City


I'd agree with this. The only thing that you haven't seen is Mario actually grabbed his face like he was hit there, but there was no contact to the face.

That was my problem with the play. It wouldn't have looked like a dive at all if he wouldn't have grabbed his face.
