quit diving italy!
 

what a bunch of pussies...every little touch they roll around on the ground like they've been shot, and you guys wonder why some people say soccer is gay. Watch some hockey later and you'll see a guy with a foot that has been broken for 4 months play, hit and get hit.

soccer/football is good but stop this pussy shit...talking to italy, the US dude bleeds all over the place and calmly walks off the pitch, good on ya.

Dude, they have nails on the soles, I wonder if you can take a direct hit on your ankles. Hockey guys are protected with kevlar, if, not, they'd only ballet skating. If you need violence, boxing or full-contacts sports are violent, not hockey or american football. Football players get their legs broken and injured quite often. See Rooney case.

they all deserved red

players go off on stretchers a few times a game, and I didnt say all football players just certain teams tend to dive. If a hockey player goes off in a stretcher he spends the next few days in the hospital.

rolling around on the feild is a disgrace

italians are the worst in the world for diving.

thats a major thing wrong with football is the diving, im sick of it. earlier this year a campaign in the english newspapers tried to stop it. obviously hasnt worked to the world event. Italians and spanish are notourious for it!

It's been like that since i ever started watching football.

Why refs still fall for it is beyond me... :disgust

lol, I can't said that there aren't a lot of players that dive, but the red cards were deserved.

Italians dive because they are all muffdivers :)

yes diving for muff

agreed...and going out on a back board due to an ankle 'injury' that lasts 1 minute is even more so

Taking an injured player out of the field on a back board ASAP is A FIFA RULE...
but you're too ignorant to realize that:1orglaugh

wrong:

'as soon as the referee has authorised the doctors to enter the field, the player must leave the field, either on the stretcher or on foot'

(fifa, laws of the game 2006)

This is exactly what I've said :1orglaugh. INJURED(by injured I meant REALLY INJURED, you know) player must be taken out. Thanks for confirming it.:thumbsup

ouch...


Mr. Romance

and the whole point of the thread was it's disgraceful to be faking injuries to such an extent where you ride out on a stretcher...(implying you are unable to walk)...and then be able to sprint right back on the field....all in an effort to change the outcome of the game through staged attempts of trying to look 'REALLY INJURED', as you put it.

you confidently replied, 'it was a 'fifa rule' to be carried out on a stretcher'...i was just letting you know it wasn't...

Couldn't agree more, but...:
You made it sound like when a player is injured, and that happens quite often, he should be not taken out of the field, just let down there to suffer, like it's his fault that he got kicked.
My point is: faking an injury ir's not fair-play. But brutality has no place on a football field, and an injured player should be removed asap from the field to get treated. Point. And I don't know if you know that faking an injury is punished by yellow card in the football game. So its ref's job to check if the player is really injured and if so, he's disposing player's removal from the field. Maybe you are closer to the game and more qualified in checking players' injuries then a FIFA trained referee :1orglaugh ...End of discussion.
