Why do they ruin what could be a great sport.

I know theyre great athletes, and have plenty of skills

(and i know there are some very nasty real injuries, like with ankles twisted the wrong way ...gross)

but why dont they sack up and have some pride? ive seen 9 year old girls who fall down on the playground and scrape their shit up cry less than these field fairies

I know sometimes the cards are actually given to the diver, but half the time they get rewarded for diving. How can people stand to watch this and defend soccer.

faking injuries when no one is around, realizing their miraculously cured when the ball comes by them 2 seconds after you would swear they got their led chopped off at the knee. PUSSIES

maybe if they played through this shit every game wouldnt end 1-0

Watching Ronaldo in the champions league final was pathetic. He was acting like a pissed off 10 year old... I hate the pussies that play soccer, its pathetic.
 
In defense of soccer players, the average midfielder is running 15 km a game, and similar to basketball there is a lot of pushing, shoving and armwork to get into the right position so sometimes what seems like a little bump may be a bit worse. It is still pretty pathetic though when they writhe around on the ground, watch some real soccer (premiership) stay away from the pussy Italians.
 
You've got to realise those aren't the elite soccer players. Although their country claims it to be a professional league of said country, most clubs can't even come close to the true elite teams, the best, of the world. It would be like people saying MLB Baseball is stupid because of some lame rules in AAA.

Sure maybe Italy was caught faking it a little while ago, that was a bad apple, but the really good clubs don't act quite that childish. They might try to get a call by staying on the ground a little bit longer nursing your wounds, but not so blatantly ugly like that video.
 
shit like that is the reason most americans look at soccer and laugh....

^^^^ now a sport like THAT i can respect.

 
i am sorry but i am a soccer player and i actually can not stand when people dive

if someone dives i tell them to get up

divers are ruining the sport
 
kicking ???? really........the only sport where men can kick is like MMA and those things.

thats pathetic
 
if anybody ever flopped on me i'd lay their ass out the next chance I got (soccer, basketball or whatever sport people do it). Flopping has to be the most embarrassing thing, because you are a pussy who can't take a little contact.

i'm used to playing contact sports like football hockey and lax where not only does flopping not work but you would have a target on you the rest of the game.
 
nothing against that sport, I think the players in the AFL are some of the toughest in the world (and for them to be laying those kinds of hits w/o equipment is beyond my comprehension), but most of those hits are hockey-style hip checks and forearm shivers, which would never fly in american football. this is my definition of a HIT:

 
you should be ashamed of yourself for thinking everyone who plays soccer acts like the people in that video. diving is one of the most disgraceful things you can do as a player, and the vast majority of people that play (at least at an am. level) think diving is a disgrace. christ, why all the hate for soccer when you have basketball, where on every other change in possession they take a break for a foul.
 
meh.

lrn2rugby.

NFL players dont know how to tackle properly. hits like the ones in ghostface's video are very rare in football.

AFL players arent as tough as theyre made out to be. i still think that

Rugby and Hockey players are tougher than guys in the AFL (and much

tougher than guys in the NFL). hits like that are very rare in AFL games compared to the amount of hits you see in hockey/football.

People in football just dont hit properly... you get some bigger hits

if you just go all out sometimes, but most of the time it just doesnt

work out. Hits like the one in your video are a rarity in football...

whereas they're much more commonplace in rugby.

as for equipment, you really dont need pads in rugby or AFL etc... NFL padding is a bit excessive but more necessary because the game is fast and the players are bigger... along with blocking being legal etc.
 
to Ghostface, i remember playing high school ball as a DE and i got

suspended for a combo platter of spearing a running back, slamming him

(yes, WWF style), and then hip checking him into the stands and

knocking him and his dad out on that one....

and i resent the tone of you typing Bosh... you calling me a pussy even though i do club AFL here at school?

im joking btw...
 
Ginobili is the worst. he would flop in a game against preschool girls.

Gasol can be pretty bad too.
 
so maybe the professional leagues over-dramatize the majority of hits, but you can't say that about soccer as a whole

i play keeper and have broken my wrist in the first 5 minutes and finished the game [/mega-claim]

i wasn't so tough this time around when i broke my leg this week though...

it's the officiating of the matches that's screwing everything up. the players know that an occasional dive will help their team, so that's exactly what they do. at a high school age the refs are wayyyy more lenient so i'd honestly rather watch a high school match than a professional one
 
those were some really shitty hits. 90% of them were hits on a suicide pass/high catch or when picking up the ball.
 
yeah we have a kid like that on my lax team. I swear every game he fakes at least 3 injuries. Then he's fine 2 min later.
 
yes those players should be ashamed. buy this is propaganda designed to make you feel exactly how you do.

but the real reasons that people face injuries you might not have thought of

1. the players are tired and want a break because only 3 substitutions

are made a game max. if your a mid fielder you might have sprinted up

and down that 130 yard long field 45 times and when your going 45

minutes with out a break you take any chance you can get to take a

quick rest

2 when a player dives and is successful their team get the ball and

might get the opposing team's player a yellow or even a red card ...

when a player is given 2 yellows or a red there are out of the game

and the team must play a man down (its like a power play for the rest

of the game)

get back to me when you get tacked by a few English defenders after 80 minutes

no hate.
 
thats gotta be a joke. the only reason that its the worlds biggest is because its inexpensive. you need a ball and a space to get a game going. other sports need special equipment

and its far from the best imo
 
Soccer brings in more money than you can fathom. The winner of the Champions League, Barcelona, gets like $100 million total for winning.
 
I wasn't going to say anything, but jesus christ! You have to be the most ignorant sounding person ever. And I do mean ever. Soccer is a joke? How? Have you attempted to play at a high level? Controlling a soccer ball with the precision that premier teams do is insanely hard. There's a reason the phrase "beautiful play" exists.
 
hahaha i love the ones where they just jump up to get the ball
but don't hate on soccer, it's an amazing sport
 
OMFG I just nostalgia'd so fucking hard.... i totally didnt notice that when i watched it the first time.
 
If the person attacking you has cleats on, what do you think would hurt more? A kick or a punch? Especially when the person attacking you is paid to have strong legs.
 
The solution to this is to not allow any latin countries play ever again. This includes Italy (especially), Portugal and often Spain.
Referees are also to blame, they often let diving get out of control.
Great players don't do it. This is why CRY (Cristiano Ronaldo) will never be considered a great. He dives and not to mention his disgusting attitude.
Much of those dives are from lower tier leagues or teams. In the top 3 or so leagues in the world diving is much more rare (I don't consider the Italian league to be within the top 3 it really is shit).
In my mind there's a difference between a straight dive and making the most of a foul (which I'm not completely opposed too). Also, whoever said staying on the ground for a while gives you a well deserved break sometimes.
And fuck you to Ju who understands nothing but Halo and Boston. Uncultured carp.
 
I'm not talking individual players. I'm talking a tournament win. No other sport can even come close to soccer numbers. And I'm pretty sure a few of the players on Chelsea would give A-Rod a run for his money.
 
i'm sorry but soccer is for pussy's i used to play, football or rugby is where its at.

those little footfairys bitching cuz they got pushed or shoved.

i would love to see them after this happened to them. what would they do ?

 
did you read what i wrote at all? do you even know how to read or comprehend the english language? all i said was that the only reason why its the worlds biggest sport is that poor people can play it. you dont need an oval shaped ball or a 10 foot rim with hoop or a bat. all you need is your feet and a ball. and all im saying is that i dont agree that its the worlds best sport. thats my opinion. notice the IMO i said. youre a fucking retard, i didnt say anything about how hard the sport is
 
and nowhere did i say soccer is a joke. i said his statement because i strongly disagree with soccer being the worlds best sport
