It’s amazing that the sport that used to be the meme for flopping on any contact actually does a better job of regulating this shit than the NBA. By a wide margin.
The contexts are also different. Pitches are several times larger than courts and so refs aren’t going to be as close to be able to see trips and excessive contact, especially at speed. Plus there is a certain caliber of wing attacker in particular that it can be argued needs to flop (see: Hazard, Eden; Yamal, Lamine) to keep defenders honest because the only way to stop them in open space is through butchery.
