soccer is 90 minutes of running and getting pushed and kicked , next to wrestling is a very exhausting sport.
average retirement age of soccer players is about 35 . I wasn't arguing that point, I was arguing that they're a bunch on in shape pussy's. Hockey players...not so much. It should be understood that guys don’t flop in soccer because they’re hurt, they do it because, statistically speaking, it works. Gets them more free kicks, penalties etc and interrupts plays by the opposing team. I do agree with others in that I think it ruins the sport.

Biggest bunch of pussies in sports. In shape, but pussies. Thought that was baseball. Nope, baseball is a high-contact sport in comparison.

I know y'all non-fans are disgusted by the falling down and fake crying. I am a long-time soccer fan and it is disgusting to me. The sport wasn't played this way when I got in to it 50 years ago. This flopping and crying was introduced by the South Americans about 40 years ago.
Soccer today is a mixture of athletics, and theater. Act like you got hurt to draw a foul. Half the game is players acting like crybabies. It has gotten so bad that I almost gave up on watching.
I must say, the flopping is drastically reduced this World Cup.
By the way soccer is a dangerous sport. I broke my left ankle playing at Ga. Tech, I was in a plaster cast, and on crutches for 7 weeks. A few years later, playing at Ga. College, I tore the medial collateral ligament in the left knee, just missed surgery but had to go on crutches for 8 weeks. Those crutches get old fast, especially bad for stairs.

It took me five years to get a four year degree. I had a good time in college.

When I was in grade school my older brother played catcher for the high school team. I remember when he had to get stitches in his knee, a guy sliding into home spiked him. That was the most bad-ass thing I'd seen up to that point in my life.

Messi came through. Mexico was flopping and diving, and milking the clock. Obviously going for a zero-zero tie, like they did against Poland. Didn't work against Leo, gee I wonder why.
Mexico is good, but they have a screw loose in the brain, going in to the game playing for a tie.
