A little late to the party, but in regards to the Torres dive issue...it seems there was contact made, but he certainly sold it by instantly clasping onto his knee as if there was some sort of injury. Faking like that to me is just as bad as diving and should be punished whenever possible.
It seems every player does that now, the blatant faking like you are hurt when you clearly are not. Start giving them cards for it, please. Even worse are the players who lay on the ground for the other team to pass it out, only to get right back up and fake limp for a few steps before all of a sudden being healed. People, including refs and the other team need to call them on that. Because it's bullsh*t.
Also, how is it the main refs fault if the linesmen misses the off sides? It's not like it was terribly obvious real time, and he was in no position to make that call. Unless he overruled the linesmen and called it a good goal he shouldn't be blamed at all for that.
