Are you really trying to argue that all stoppage time = diving?
There is such a thing as a hard foul. Many star players are harassed and fouled the whole game.
Ahh an attempt at presenting an argument, with no stats or facts might I add. If your premise is correct that hard fouls is the major cause of stoppage time, all that means is that when Italian players receive a hard foul, they get up quicker than other teams. Surely you cannot believe that Italy is the only soccer nation in the entire world, that is not on the receiving end of any hard fouls!?!?
Secondly in all the match stats I posted their were no red cards issued and very few yellow cards, which mean virtually no hard fouls. One just needs to look and the red card issued during the Spain/Swiss match, in which the player was barely touched and according to the ref warranted a red card.
Finally we can all agree (except for that ignorant fool Cornuto I mean carlito) on that there are way more hard tackles in the NFL than in soccer, yet it takes an uninjured player all of 1 second or 2 seconds to get up. Meaning to make up the more than two minutes of stoppage time per match the English diving team averages more than the Italian soccer team, they would have to receive 60 to 70 hard fouls per game, which are not being carded might I add, to justify their high minutes of stoppage time.
Why do I need stats or facts as you call it? It's all opinion. That's it. OPINION.
Trying to argue that stoppage time minutes somehow equates to diving is fucking stupid. There are many factors that add to stoppage time minutes. Too many for me to even bother to type out here.
And for the record, in MY OPINION from watching soccer for over 40 years, hispanic players are by far the biggest divers and dirtiest players. Doesn't matter which league. Central or South America, Spain, Portugal, or even MLS.
But that's just my OPINION.

He's just a proud stubborn guinea and probably like 1/8 Italian. I'll give shit for brains a slight pass as the poor boy has been in the strictest lock down in the world. But I digress. I share your OPINION and the popular consensus that when it comes to dirtiest I'd go with the Latinos. I'm not jaded I can tell it like it is.

Actually arguing that stoppage time does not equate to time wasting by laying on the ground is fucking stupid! List a few factors that waste more time than faking? There's a reason why South American games have much more stoppage time than European games! This a fact and not opinion.
The biggest moron has chimed in again, without any facts just the same old tired playbook of name calling! You are the most ignorant fool on this board!!! How many posts do you have in this thread? Not once have you posted any stats, just your ignorant asinine opinion (Italian blood in Argentines make them dive LMFAO!!) Your ignorance and stupidity knows no bounds!
Lots of talk about "Italian" flopping, but I'm wondering if anyone is actually watching Euro 2021?
Everyone Italy played has flopped more. Belgium's only goal was after a flop. Spain are notorious floppers
England, not Italy, advanced because of a flop
England, not Italy, flops everytime they get inside the penalty box.
So I did a little research. The Wall St Journal did an analysis of flopping nations, Italy was like 17 even behind the USA
Found another article about the top floppers in the sport. No Italians made the list, Neymar from Brazil seems to be considered the worst.
I found a another article on flopping at the last world cup. There were 17 occasions where a player was carried off the field on a stretcher and returned to action within 90 seconds. Yes. flopping is an epidemic, but it's now a myth that the Italians are the worse. Especially in this Euro tournament
