This is pretty observable in a lot of sports. It is lame, but it doesn't make soccer unique.


zerobackup - 2010-06-11

It definitely happens in a lot of sports, but I find it stands out much more in soccer.


Frank Rizzo - 2010-06-12

where else does it happen with such regularity?

You have never watched any other sports.

Best way to save soccer from this crap? Ok, you can't get up after that contact, you're out for the rest of the game and your team is forced to use their 1 substitution, people will stop diving real quick. Until the rule changes people will not stop abusing the system, just leaving it up to the refs to throw yellow and red cards obviously doesn't work.

Yes, star players being ejected from the game after someone makes contact with them is a wonderful solution.


zerobackup - 2010-06-18

It's not the contact, it's the rolling around like Meryl Streep and selling incidental contact that really shouldn't be knocking down professional soccer players.

There are sooooooo many more things than this to use as examples of why soccer sucks. Hell, the dives are probably the most exciting part of any given game.

That's not soccer, that's italians.

Their only fucking strategy.

Also: I want to one-star this video because I'm butthurt that someone would not love something that I love, but I'ma let it slide.

Yes, we get it, you only like games that last four times as much as their actual time limits and you hate soccer cause furriners like it and this is america goddammit we like FOOTBALL where nothing happens but guys in striped shirts tell us why

My first experience with watching soccer was during the 1996 Olympics. I was excited to watch a soccer game because I enjoyed playing it, but what I learned that day was that soccer is boring to watch. The ball would go back and forth back and forth, with nothing happening.
With Football the drama builds, yards are gained, first downs are earned. The plays are set up so you know when something big will happen for either the defense or offense.
Soccer will never catch on in America, instead their sport growing in the U.S., our sport of Basketball has been growing world wide.

Soccer has its own drama, which in part is about slowly wearing down your opponent's endurance until opportunist plays can take effect. The problem is that unlike U.S. advertisements with sports interruption, that plot isn't visible to the casual observer - it takes playing the game yourself before midfield sloppiness becomes evident, etc. I certainly don't have a sense for it, but when I visit a high-school chum watching futbol he'll point these sorts of tells out before becoming exasperated.

They're not faking it. They really are pussies.


Cena_mark - 2010-06-12

Damn straight. I'd like to see one of those guys take a REAL tackle. And you Your-a-peeins don't bring that old "If they're so tough why do they wear pads" argument. They wear pads so they don't die or end up crippled. Tackles in soccer and rugby won't do that to you, but football tackles will fuck you up.
