It's bad enough in the NBA, but there at least you play seven game series for titles.
I honestly just can't get beyond the flopping and fake injuries and I doubt I ever will. I'll enjoy the World Cup, but I could never be a passionate fan.

Who celebrates flopping? Actually, it's a cardable offense, just hard to catch by a ref.
MoF, there was a card handed out in the group phase for flopping.
