Neymar has no one to blame but himself

Long story short, Medel fouled Neymar and what could have been a yellow in the friendly against Chile over the weekend. After the match Neymar compared it to something you see in UFC and then proceeded to bitch about Medel not getting carded.
It's a lot easier to get cards called against your opponents when you're not known around the planet for diving. He is the only reason that things like that get missed, the referees can't trust that he's actually going down on behalf of the defender.
I'm just getting sick of it. Rant over.

You're defense doesn't make sense in this particular context.
Whether Neymar dives a lot has nothing to do with Medal's stamp. Chile very clearly targeted Neymar from the beginning, and basically kicked the shite out of him the whole game. The fact that the ref didn't protect Neymar (I mean, it was pretty blatant by the 15th minute what Chile were doing), then how can you blame Neymar for going down easily when he feels he isn't being protected? Diving for me is part of the game, as is targeting a player with tactical fouling, but Medal went way beyond that with his stamp, which should always be a red card. I don't know if Atkinson ever reffed two South American teams, but it was clear that they dared him to control the game, and he failed in doing so. It was still a friendly. It was ridiculous to watch.

I'd hack the shite out of the diving cheat. You are going to get booked one way or the other every time Neymar goes down. Why not make it hurt while you can? Players hate cheats. I remember once upon a time Ronaldo got scythed quite frequently for his diving antics while at Man Utd. He doesn't get hacked hardly as much as he used to because he stopped flopping. Stop flopping and players will often play you clean as possible.
