Truly, I find the artistry, skill level, sheer endurance and amazingly dedicated passion and strategy an absolute thrill to watch. But, the flopping aspect of soccer (futbol) nearly ruins it for me. Reminds me of 3 y/o and their tantrums. Grow up boys, damn. Until this changes, I fear it will be a second tier sport for me.
If a stoppage of play is called for injury, then that player should sit out the next start. Let the floppers bench themselves. If someone is legit hurt, they aren’t coming back right away anyway.
I’ve always wondered why this doesn’t happen more often- if someone did a dive in proximity to me, I would clown them without mercy – like Razzies level over the top performance
A few cards for ‘unsportsmanlike conduct’ would stop this nonsense. Maybe a few more for spitting, swearing, crowding the ref, and generally being an oik would sort the game out.
I think a Stunt Coordinator could tighten that up
This guy just rag dolled
Why is this a thing…why
Sad that this is considered “strategy” by players today.
I do not get this part of soccer. I know it’s part of the game but it seems awful unsportsmanlike.
Hockey is a lot like soccer but faster and you replace flopping with fist fights. Highly recommended
Make intentional flopping to bait a ref a red card and it will stop immediately.
Sorry but can we talk about that keeper’s haircut?
I think it’s funny that people don’t see that the second guy is mocking the first. Honestly it’s hilarious
Green shirt was making fun of the other guy

I love how the goalie is just like “come on guys stop fucking around”
Wow Fifa 2022 is buggy eh?
That’s the thing I absolutely can’t stand about football
When did “diving” become “flopping” ? (Though in this case the term is definitely correct to be fair)
Even soccer players are making fun of soccer players now.
The goalie in the second angle walking towards them like “come on boys, knock it off” lol
With all the hundreds of camera angles aren’t these players aware of how childish it is to make believe they have an ouchy?

אלאאא מכביייייייייי
So we all get that the second (green) guy was taking the piss, right? As in, he was mocking the blue guy for his obvious dive?
Oh god i hope they are fine that looked brutal

Even the dude goalie was like “really dude” 🤷♂️

Hate floppers. Completely antithetical to the spirit of sportsmanship.
I at least appreciate the goalie appearing to laugh at what is going on.
Why don’t they just make a rule with severe penalties to prevent something as ridiculous as flopping. If there wasn’t flopping I would love soccer.
Stuff like this makes Soccer players all look like super endurance athletes with tiiiiiiny little baby pain thresholds

Football players are the fainting goats of the sports world.
Love the mum-in-a-supermarket energy the guy displays. “You want to see how ridiculous your tantrum looks? Here, I’ll show you.”
