Brutal football fouls

They both jumped for the ball man. This wasn't even given a foul. Drogba was given a yellow card for all the drama and ''over the top pain''..
This is brutal?
You need to watch more manly sports Kamil...
THIS is tackling... a boot in the chest, on the other hand, is stand-up comedy.
I'm not defending Evans: he should've gotten a straight red card for that if it was malicious, but football is hopelessly frail in terms of rules and their application that this has turned onto a laughing matter.
You can NEVER EVER cheat in rugby. NOTHING goes unnoticed. If there is an infringement of any kind, or if there is a decision to be taken but the ref is not sure or couldn't see what happened; he stops his watch, goes over to the linesman and ask him what he saw. He talks onto his mouthpiece to the 4th referee, called a TMO - Television Match Official - (usually a useless idiot with a flashy board for substitutes in football) who is up in the media room with all the cameras' streams filming the match at his disposal. He rewinds, plays, rewinds, slows, plays again until he can see exactly what happened. This takes no more than 1 minute. He then tells the match official what he saw and recommends a decision: try, no try, red card, yellow card.. whatever. The ref will then have something concrete to make his decision.
No drama.
No theater.
No diving.
Seriously, how can the most popular sport on the planet allow diving, falling on your own with minimum physical contact, or faking injury to waste time?
How can FIFA just live with this and do nothing about it but issue statements urging footballers to stop?
Keep issuing statements Platini... useless pen on paper.
