Soccer fans?

Just got done watching Manchester absolutely destroy Roma, and was just wondering how many people here are soccer fans.

I voted STAL because I like soccer and love the world cup but am not a "fan" in that I don't follow it actively.

I voted no because I don't like how they fake injuries. I find it fucking disgusting as a sports fan.

Basketball players are getting just as bad about that.

More and more yeah, but soccer is decades ahead in that department. Every play where they trip they collapse and clutch their ankle and cry.
In hockey they keep going after the puck even if they get crosschecked in the face.

Well in that case it only sucks when you put the balls in your mouth.

Football is the opposite of soccer.

yeah the thing with taking a dive is that if the ref wants to he can card you for that as well, so there is a risk factor involved in it. and also if you ever have been dribbling at high speeds you would know that the slightest touch will probably make you fall

Not if you have body control. And it doesn't hurt. I do understand why they dive, and it doesn't really bother me too much.
