Are soccer players biggest pussies we've ever seen in any sport?

You wanna complain or do you really want to know?

If their foot gets stepped on they fly high through the air then they fall over and roll five/six times, dropping to the ground to act like they are dying in agony. A bit of "magic spray" and they are brought "back to life" in 10 secs.

I've never seen anything so ridiculous in other sports.

These are real men.

Do they run around with helmets on their heads?

Nah, they're just the biggest actors.

Given how fragile soccer players are, they should consider wearing them.

Soccer is not a game to them. It is a win at all costs war. They are trying to influence the referee. That's why.

Ever see flops in basketball? Same thing.

It's a part of all sports.

Yep. Flopping is part of the "sport".

The diving is bad at times, but in terms of excitement and skill display it is hard to Top a great soccer match.

It's okay that you hate it. We don't need you as a fan. Have fun watching baseball.

There's a reason why it's the most popular sport in the world.

The flopping is just part of the sport.

They need to issue yellow or red cards for the floppers and divers. Even for exaggeration. Then also implement suspensions if a player is carded for diving. Have them pay fines for any diving incident. There has to be enough of a penalty to deter them from doing it. If there was no charge and repercussions for murder, a lot more murders would happen.

Even the REFS are flopping! It's no better than professional wrestling.

Runners are actually the biggest pusies of any sport. The swcond place sport would be those who compete in chess

who could deny that soccer players are more a bunch of prima-donnas than "athletes"

They are pretty awful really. I refuse to watch any sort of soccer match as I feel I would be giving money in some way to that sport which sets a very poor example to society. The players get paid millions of dollars each year to do that nonsense and I don't know how you can stop it. I think that they should all be taxed 100% of their salaries and thus forced to do something more useful with their lives. Maybe Donald Trump can do something.

Uncle D. should give them all a big hard kitty grab

It's the most popular sport in the world because 90% of the world doesn't have the resources or infrastructure to do anything except kick a ball around a dusty field. Don't pretend it's the most exciting or dynamic sport in the world. Any sport that thrives on participants acting like three year olds having a temper tantrum is a sh!tty sport. End of story.

It's not the most popular sports in the majority of the countries that actually matter. Countries like America, Canada, France, Spain, Italy, Australia, Argentina, India, New Zealand, Norway, Finland, China etc

I think part of the problem is that penalties usually aren't called unless the victim falls. This never really made sense to me. If someone hits my arm while I'm taking a shot in basketball, the foul is going to be called, and my incentive is to continue the act of shooting to try to score and get the foul shot. If someone clips my foot in soccer, it's only going to be called if I fall over, so my incentive is to fall. Why not reward players for fighting to keep their feet so that even a player who is legitimately fouled would rather try to score than go to the ground if at all possible?
