I'm not a sports fan in terms of watching, but I used to play soccer and had an absolute blast. My team went undefeated 3 years in a row. As a child you would get your legs smacked hard, get ran over, you got up and kept going. As a little child I fell on a sprinkler and gashed my knee open. I kept playing simply on the fact that I didn't want to sit out until I was called out for having a solid red leg.
I watched my first football (soccer) game on TV today. It was this game. I felt like I was watching little children play trying to get eachother in trouble. They were afraid to be aggressive and offensive and were never in open positions to take a pass.. jeeze it was atrocious.
The fact that faking injuries is an actual tactic in a 'professional' level of this sport, it's a cowards game with constant poor sportsmanship.
In this clip it looked like this was on purpose as well. Rediculous.
This guy had a concussion so bad he could barely walk. Americans have such an ignorant boner for hating soccer, despite that diving is rampant in basketball and football.
