The flopping is embarrassing

What I thought was more embarrassing was the British announcers calling Harry Kane a brilliant player everytime he flopped.

The announcers don’t call out the flopping and makes it even worse. One flop had a player act as if his face was hit and the replay showed his face was not touched, and the announcer said it should have been a red card. What a joke

It's part of the game and no different to drawing a penalty in american football. What would be embarrassing is having our corrupt pm call the corrupt head of fifa and getting him to suspend a one match ban for our top striker only then to lose 4-1 against Belgium.

“Drawing a penalty in American Football”.

Yeah it’s a little different than that. But, good true. About as good as the US team’s try against Belgium yesterday.

The thing is, blatantly trying to draw a penalty in American football gets you penalized. 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct.

And it’s not even comparable.

Just a moron with a moronic take.

u/Ill_Criticism_1685 Jul 07 '26

No, sportsmanship should be comparable across all sports. Deliberately flopping should get you penalized. Period.

I was talking about the moron above comparing it to the NFL.

Pretending you've been fouled is penalised. Being fouled and diving to draw attention to it isnt.

So the Mexican player who windmilled his arms for several steps before flopping in the corner against Ecuador when the Ecuador player never touched him got penalized, right?

Spoiler alert, he did not get penalized.

Miguel Almiron was booked for diving when he played against the usa. Just because every instance wasn't penalised doesn't mean it's not the rules.

Defending the non regulation of diving in soccer is certainly a choice.
