Anyway...

I have some comments on the World Cup and I guess Soccer in general. I am the first to admit I know nothing about soccer.

Yeah as most kids did, I played a little when I was young. I understand the rules.

I don't understand the philosophy of "the flop".

Yes it's very effective as soon as you get bumped to hit the deck like you've been shot and scream in pain like your toenails are being ripped out and as soon as the ref blows the whistle you get up 100% healthy, high fives all around and you continue to run for the remainder of the 90 minutes like a thoroughbred.

It seems that the lack of scoring opportunities, skill and a proper game plan create award winning actors instead of athletes.

It is easier to score with a free kick than by regular game play. Perhaps the rules need to be modernized and more than one ref needs to be on the field.

The players and coaches are smarter than the rules at this point and I think the game is an embarrassment if it continues to go this way.

Perhaps we should move the free kick/penalty kick line back so it is at least a 50% chance of success. As it is now it's 80% or better.

I would be embarrassed to win by a cheap acting job. I guess as professional athletes they are paid to win. And win by any means. I would hope that some personal integrity would kick in and players would be proud to display the talent and skill of the team and not manipulate the rules like a $2.00 accident/injury lawyer.

I'm sure this is not a popular opinion but I just laugh when I watch it. I don't know how fans feel about this in South America or Europe but in the U.S., it's a joke.

When was the last time you have seen anyone head butted in the chest or hit in the chest and been leveled where your feet are parallel with the ground then roll around on the ground like a 5 year old girl that got her Barbie doll stolen? Only in Professional Wrestling, we all know how real that is.
