honestly bashing the sport juvenile. I don't like hockey but I don't bash it.

Soccer has more history and passion behind it then any other sport on the planet.

I RESPECT the history of soccer, it's the drama queens of the last 5-10 years that I'm bashing.

Let's just say soccer players have a reputation for stretching the truth when it comes to getting hurt. Probably the biggest example of this theory would be Brazil's Rivaldo during the 2002 World Cup during a match against Turkey. Rivaldo's fake injury occurred when a Turkish player kicked the ball towards him in order for Rivaldo to take his corner kick. The ball hit Rivaldo in the leg, but he immediately grabbed his face and dropped to the pitch looking to be in tremendous pain. The Turkish player, Hakan Unsal, was red carded, but Rivaldo's performance was fined by FIFA and shown by Don Cherry on Coach's Corner as an illustration of how not to act while competing.

For being a professional league, where the entire world is watching. It's baffling how refs just make calls without resorting to any sort of instant replay.

And the 90 min + whatever the ref feels like adding in (extra time) is just :fulloffuck:
