We've been over this...kickers dont count as actual football players.

Besides the fact that the kicker flop ain't even a tenth of the floppy pussyness of the field fairies. 8)

The best is the two guys touching heads and both instantly in mortal pain.

...or guys crying on the ground who stand up to get back in the play moments later... Can't decide.
What a bunch of crybabies.

Clenz, I'd like to see your fat, sorry ass last 90 minutes on a soccer field.

[Col Hogan]

Nice to see Gilardino got a yellow for that dive...referees need to do lots more of that to stop it at the highest levels...

And then there's Duke basketball:

One just does NOT talk about flopping in basketball without talking about the King of Flops Vlade Divac.

I might be tired as fuck by the end of the game but at least I'd be enough of a fucking man to not act like a fucking bitch every time someone looks at me.

I don't approve of or condone diving in any way, and people who follow the sport know it's mostly bitch-ass Italians who do it. Case in point:

And the Portuguese. And anyone from Latin American - they have some crapass concept called 'ardido' where they will do anything to not lose the game or their 'pride'.

It's why I don't want Americans in Europe, they all turn into little preening swans. Fuckin' Freddy Adu.

Anyone that goes onto a soccer field to actually play THAT game is a douchebag loser. Soccer is big with 3rd world countries like Mexico, France, Spain and Nigeria but that is the sole reason they remain 3rd world.

IT FU*KING SUCKS!

A friend has been refereeing soccer for 30 some years, all age groups. He says the 4-6 year olds quickly learn how to flop with the best of them.
Sad.

Here's a three-step guide to fixing it at the pro level:

(1) you get caught doing it, it's a red card (not a yellow) and your side finishes the match one man down; and

(2) instant TV replay review by the head referee with the power to impose (1) above after reviewing the replay; and

(3) post-game TV replay review by the league. If they think the head-referee missed the call during the game, you miss the next game and your side plays that whole next game one man down.

If you want to weed this sh!t out of the sport you are going to have to kick some ass.

FIFA won't even implement a microchip system for disputed goals, I really doubt they'd ever go for that.

[Thumper 76]

No, you kick them in the ass and they would just bitch and cry more as they flop on the ground, and you would get in trouble. They are soccer players remember, they are fragile.

As a soccer ref, I find that players who tend to dive are usually late in the game after running for 70+ minutes (average pro covers 8-10 miles in a game) so they're not thinking straight. There are the compulsive cheaters out there who dive regardless though, but there are compulsive cheaters in all competitive sports.

The Rivaldo deal in the second video clip doesn't show what really happened. The Turkish player kicking the ball like that is an act of dissent and it was his second yellow card thus the red card. Rivaldo got a yellow card for the dive.

I think divers should be at the mercy of the ref as to whether they get a yellow or red card. Deliberately cheating to keep a ball out of a goal (handball, illegal tackle on a goal scoring opportunity, etc) is an automatic red card. I think deliberately cheating trying to score a goal (faking a dive, handling the ball into the net, etc) should have the same consequence. Yeah it would make it more subjective to the ref, but soccer is already the most subjective sport when it comes to officiating.

Where do you think kickers come from? Soccer.
