When Soccer Players Fake an Injury

Hard to shoot the shit, go get beers, watch constant commercials if the action is constant.

Baseball and football, a few seconds of action followed by 30s of fluff.

 

not a soccer fan, but when I do watch World Cup or whatever, the thing that I like about it is that it's about 2 hours or less and the game is over most times because the time is always in motion.

 

That to a certain extent already happens. A player can get a yellow card for diving in the penalty area, a yellow can also be awarded elsewhere on the pitch for any other foul play (if you get two yellows in the same match it is a red card offence which means a sending off and a suspension for the next game).

More than once a player has received a second yellow for diving in the penalty area and been sent off, it happened just over a week ago to a player from my team.

 

Even the coaches take drama class...

 

Might as well just haul off and cold-cock a mofo. I mean, shit, if you wanna be dramatic, don't hold back in the dishin' it out, either.

 

Did you just punch me while no one was looking?

 

Video review won't solve the flopping problem and will only serve to make a slow, low-score soccer game feel even longer and less interesting. The solution is much simpler: If you are so hurt that play must stop, you must report to the team doctor and are no longer allowed on-field in that half.

 

2 wheels. directly relateable...
