Played professionally for quite a while and love the sport. But, I'm having a tough time watching the game anymore because of all the BS these players pull on the field. It's really sickening the way they go down almost every time they are touched. Get kicked in the ankle, grab your knee. Slapped on the shoulder, grab your face. Biggest problem is this had made its way into youth soccer. Constantly trying to fool the refs and get the other players carded. Pretty disgusting and its pushing me away from being a fan. Players who play thru hard challenges are never rewarded, and players who go down like a $5 hooker get the calls.

FIFA needs to review these games and start carding players post game for their actions. An accumulation of cards leads to suspension. It's not just FIFA, it's the football associations for each countries professional leagues. They should review the matches after the fact and start penalizing players who embellish on the field.

Or, force these idiots to watch the NHL. Maybe then they'd be embarrassed for acting like such pussies.
