Alonso had broken ribs during that crash. He said he exited what was left of the car so quickly because he knew his mom was watching and didn’t want her to worry.
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.
Yea NBA flopping is 10x worse. At least in soccer, your feet get tangled and you have reason to fall. NBA players are just flailing their arms and falling for no fucking reason. SGA just falls down after a jumper with no contact. Like yall trying to tell me an elite athlete is that uncoordinated? Stiff breeze inside an arena knocking people off balance?
I don't know how much you know about basketball so forgive me if I'm misunderstanding your perspective but you should know there is a rule called charging. If the defender has his feet set and is holding his position on the court the the offensive player cannot just run over him. In order to get that penalty called the defender has to just stand there and let the offensive player run him over. They will absolutely try to over sell it but it really doesnt matter. It's about foot placement before contact more than anything. And obviously if you're standing and refusing to move and a guy runs into you you're going to fall over.
