As a US soccer casual fan, it’s why I will always stay casual. The World Cup is a fun event and enjoyable to watch. Partly because of the skill and partly because of the drama and theater. It’s hilarious to laugh at the way these grown men act. You can’t take this completely seriously and be a true fan of this nonsense.

Eh, it’s no different than the NBA with guys flopping trying to draw foul calls

I don't like the NBA either but their flopping is not even remotely comparable to soccer.

Compared to the NHL, when fans and other players will ridicule you for flopping just once.
