When the Italy-Slovakia game was officially over, an emotional female Italian fan faked fainting
I don't know if anybody here has played soccer, but when your sprinting at speeds with the ball like track runners, any little contact towards your legs or body could really disrupt your momentum and send you flying away. Some of the fouls are legitimate, others are clear flops. Chile was playing dirty this game and looked like they were trying to injure Torres and Villa because they couldn't keep up with them.
If you're trying to excuse Torres for that blatant flop, you're out of your freaking gourd.
I saw a trip there, not a flop.
say again?
If you watch closley the knee accidentily hits the heel.
Bull , the third angle of that replay shows clear distance between Torres and Estrada. He flopped like a ing fish out of water.
The third most distant, most grainy angle show there is a clear distance? Pause the video at the 3rd second and tell me there is a clear distance between them.
Next you'll be telling me there was no handball in 86.
Yep, accidental hit causing a trip. Was a yellow/red too harsh? Yes. Was it a flop? Not this time.
he actually tripped himself, thats a textbook move
Estrada's knee touches Torres ankle IMO, but I don't think that deserved a second yellow card and Torres shouldn't have stayed on the floor faking to be hurt.
There's still a ways to go, but the acting injured for me doesn't seem quite as bad as before. I remember during the 94 and 98 WCs at least 7 times a game the dudes would run out with the stretchers and carry someone off then two minutes later they were running back on to play. Now, a few times a game you see someone roll around then get back up, but everytime a stretcher has come to get a player he has been immediately subbed. To me this new way is 100X better than before.
At first I thought Torres sold a textbook flop but after watching the video again it does appear it was an accidental trip. He still shouldn't have acted hurt on the ground, but with his knee injuries it's possible the spill scared him a bit too.
It's over now, I just want him getting closer to being right before this next game and coming with a great performance to out those dirty portugese.
What they need to do is do television reviews of flops at halftime and at the end of games. Any flops in the 1st half will automatically be assigned yellow cards when the players come out for the 2nd (even if it means a second yellow card and send-off for someone), any flops in the 2nd half will be retroactively yellow carded at the end of the game.
These Italian, Spanish and Portugese footballers don't need to work that hard to prove that they are s - everyone already knows.
Great, open the door for more corruption. Who is going to determine what's a flop?that's so subjective the idea of penalizing for it like that is just about the most re ed thing said here. Stop being such a butthurt pussy and live with it. Also, I noticed you didn't put Brazil or France on there, who flop just as mich or more than every team you listed. Surprisingly the only team that doesn't do it much is the USA, probably because it's not part of the culture here. All you anti floppers should be chhering the USA on more than anyone.
all i know is i couldnt play soccer because if someone flops like that on me im fighting, but on the real ive tried to watch all the games and the games that i have seen italy & spain flop the most
peek-a-boo
you're right, you couldn't play soccer
