1. have one-armed wrestling match, incidentally to the actual game tactical decisions. all one-armed push hands skills are good stuff here. if you are outside your box against a top attacker, use two-handed good wrestling moves, but keep them as hidden as possible.
2. if you win, and no whistle, keep going as planned.
3. if you lose, and it's tactically high reward, low risk (like you are an attacker in a great position near opponent's goal if you have a free kick), fall down and roll around and make sure to embellish so the ref can see the play your way. even if that doesn't work, it's ok because you are far away from your goal.
4. if you lose, and it's high risk to fall down (like the opponent is on a breakaway), get the fuck up asap and continue like crazy. probably foul your opponent on purpose before they get to your box. mostly you shouldn't lose a wrestling match if you're a defender. you should have an edge in that you're not controlling the ball at the same time.
If you're an MAist and you don't "get" this sport, especially this part, hope that helps. Maybe you'll even like that part of the game more than you like the main part of the game. It's actually a lot more honest than stupid ph.

The closer a player is the opponents penalty area(goalie area)the easier it is to fall, the optimal(beside than try to score) is to take a dive inside that area.....Hollywood next! as we use to say.
