 |
|
Excuse my ignorance of the sport, but the other day I was talking to a Korean about the Olympics, and they brought up the concept of 'Hollywood Action' - that being, someone who overacts to draw some type of foul.
While I know that many sports have issues with people misleading refs to assign fouls, and I could understand a possible rule against it, I cannot believe that that is the actual name for it.
Can anyone enlighten me? |

there is no such word in football....I guess it`s some kind of Konglish word that only Koreans use. |

That was my guess as well.
Anyone know if that's an actual rule (in any way, shape, or form)? |

yes, if a player tries to con the referee by diving/cheating to win a penalty/get a fellow player sent off, he gets a yellow card for it. More explanation here.

| Not Konglish. It is a huge part of Australian and NZ culture. It can refer to some one who dives or a sportsman who could be considered "pretty", eg David Beckham. |

Ok, but what do they call it in Aus/NZ? Diving (or simulation - the term used by FIFA), or Hollywood Action? |

We just say "What a Hollywood", for instance. The "action" part must be a Korean invention. |

| I think in Oz we called it doing an "acting job". It does happen but it is very heavily frowned upon. You do it once, you're a poofter for life. |

Hollywood action?? whatever next.
The term is called 'diving'. Its not to draw a foul its generally done to exagerate a foul and deceive the officials. |
