Just sad day for sports

This is why I won't watch soccer or basketball. Can't watch pussies fall at the slightest touch... just sad.
Play the game like men people.

Do the women act like pussies in the women's basketball & soccer leagues & fall down every time they are touched?

I dunno... a headbutt from a professional soccer player could leave a mark.

and six points

Did you watch the video? Plus, every time I watch a game with my family someone "falls down" after someone else breaths on them or taps them... pathetic.

I'm calling that a real hit. When you head the ball its all about focusing force, that's what I see there. Calling him an "Arab Terrorist," if that was what was said, wasn't exactly cricket though.

There is way too much diving in the game though. They may need more officials on the field and harsh penalties.

And I mean look at the way he crumples once he's down... that fuckin' hurt, man. Lets see ANY you get headbutted by a psycho footy player and stay on your feet.

They do that even when there's no contact, though.

I'm waiting for the rollerball league to start.

Been hit and head-butted many times when I was a bouncer... did not go down like that.

Ibby · 07-10-2006, 08:07 PM

Ah, but headbutted by whom? Professional footballers are probably better at it, thats what they're paid for.

Anyone have an answer to my question, do the women do the same thing?

Griff · 07-10-2006, 08:35 PM

I think the womens game has rules prohibiting hard tackles.

some of them...

Another thing to consider is that, as in American football, doing a nice acting job if you're hit (like, say, the punter taking a dive) can result in a favorable call, giving you a free kick or even causing the opponent to be carded.

I think of it as tactical acting...

Yes, and I contrasted that head butt versus the phony dive by the french forward at 5:00. Even if it were a dive/flop, it would have been justified. But, I still claim the head butt was a flagrant foul, unexpected by the other guy.
