Why do they roll around on the ground and writhe in pain every time they get tripped? Are soccer players just big pussies, or are extra points awarded for the most dramatic death scene in each game? Obviously, there are not extra points awarded for manhood.

The better question is...... Why the hell are you watching soccer?

is it part of the rules to embellish everything? it would be great to watch regularity otherwise.

Did you ever have a boot stud hit the nerve in your lower leg at 50 mph, or get dragged down your shin?

The same reason NBA players do it, and increasingly, NHL players do it. To make it obvious to the ref that they've been fouled. In most occasions the foul is real, their reaction is just nuts. Embellishment is, unfortunately, a part of the game. Those who aren't fans of soccer seem to think it's the *only* part of the game.

It's not just soccer...

I have to agree...I am not debating that *most* of those fouls are painful, but it a lot of them are acting they have been shot or stabbed, or both 3 min later they are running around at full speed like nothing happened.

I have seen basketball players flop, don't like seeing it; but awarding a penalty in soccer or even a free kick just outside the penalty box is a much more momentous decision than free throws (or even a flagrant 2) in basketball.

Why can't it be both?

Isn't that basically what Aussie-rules Football is?

Yeah, and don't forget all the armour the "football" players wear so their Mummies and Daddies can spend lots of money on it all, and so they can all sit around eating massive piles of chips watching commercials and not see their little fat boys get hurt!

Ndamukong Suh played soccer when he was younger until he got too big and they wouldn't let him play. Imagine Suh, who's 6'4 300 lbs, playing against the cowards in the World Cup. They'd have some real reasons to cry on the ground then.

i don`t know what/who Ndamukong Suh is, but put him in a sumo ring with the yokozuna and see what happens.

You guys are bringing a gun to a fist fight here. Get over it - we love our football. Your "football" is a derivation of Rugby while our football ( a game where you hit the ball with the feet ) is played since antic Greek and Roman Empire.

You better find another name for your game or you force us to invent a stupid game and call it : hockey/basketball/baseball.

Who fluffing cares what it's called? This argument is as stupid as the people having it. Some call it football. Some call it futobal. Some call it calcio. Some call it soccer. Some call it fotbal. Some call it bola sepak. It's the same sport. You're arguing with people based on a name for a sport that was invented decades ago. News flash: NONE OF US DECIDED TO CALL AMERICAN FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL. NONE OF US DECIDED TO CALL FOOTBALL, SOCCER. This argument is as stupid as asking why an orange is called orange and not marshmallow. It's just a fluffing name. Move on.
