Right around the 1:47 mark is ****ing brilliant.

OTWP, what exactly is the point of all this? Can you start a separate thread about how you don't like soccer and the reasons why. This thread is for people who are excited about the World Cup. Thank you, sir.

To each his own is absolutely correct.

Enjoy the WC.

You are coming from an NFL fan mindset trying to compare apples to oranges. If you have football at the back of your mind when making this argument, you will fall into the trap of comparing two different sports.

I admit that diving and flopping is ****ing pathetic and despite how harsh it may seem, I almost wish a flop would garner a straight red card. Nevertheless, if you're not pumped for the World Cup, don't come in the topic.

Anyways, I'm really looking forward to the first game against England. There's a lot of hype for the U.S (and not just from the U.S either). Time to see how they match up with one of the world's powers.

Just making a point.

A month of acting better than you'll ever see get an Oscar.

Then others chimed in on the flopping as well.

Christ, I wasn't even the first one to take a shot at the sport in this thread.

Like I said earlier, enjoy the WC.

I'm not allowed to make a rebuttal, as I don't want to be accused of hi-jacking yet again.

Enjoy the WC.

FTR, I hope the US does well, and am proud of the fact that they aren't routinely described as divers/floppers.
