Brazil Soccer - Fans celebrate with Ak47 and fan dies by a toilet

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
I'm a newbie to soccer, but why are there no penalties for "flops"?  Why is it acceptable to the WORLD to fake foul/injury in order to get the ref to make the call?  Why are there no instant replay calls like NBA?

That was the biggest flop in the box, giving Netherlands a penalty kick.

There was some contact but I don't think enough to warrant a penalty kick. They should have let it go into overtime.

To protest the call I told my wife I would not be doing anything around the house.

FIFA should start giving out fines/suspending players that flop, like the NBA. This is the reason why I hate watching soccer at times.
