To be fair, I wouldn't put it past anyone to just complain like that every single time it happens week to week. Besides, something occurring often doesn't mean there isn't a problem.

Calling Italy an a general unlikable lot has less to do with this tournament and is more of a historical thing though, but half the English people here are still calling them out on it and then complains when I criticized English fans or media for something they have become better at.

Now Italy has still dived sure, but they haven't actually gotten anything from it this time. England got a controversial penalty here in a match that saw UEFA charge them with no less than three different things. Italy on the other hand took a lot of positive spotlight when they had used 25 of 26 players in the group games including subbing on a goalkeeper in a 1-0 lead just to give him playtime. It's also my impression that some of the players are very popular all over.

So not saying you're necessarily wrong about who's the bad guy (though I don't really think anyone is personally), but it's pretty clear to me how the circumstances made it that way.
