This is old news, but it's news to me...

That New Zealand rugby player Wayne "Buck" Shelford took a cleat to the crotch during a game and ripped open his scrotum leaving his testicle dangling, he got it sewed up on the bench and continued the game.

was thought he'd need to have his leg amputated but after 26 operations the leg was saved but could never play soccer again; bbc refused to show replays and other angles and supposedly the pitch was bloody and needed to be cleaned before the game was resumed the goalie that you see freaking out is said to have needed therapy

this sort of injury happens often though

So why do they always pretend to be hurt, usually the most comically obvious ways possible?

Soccer Diving Training - YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioyt2zzm530

While I respect the ease of getting into the game of soccer much like how rugby allows almost anyone to pick up a ball and play, I HATE diving, and the fact players are worth hundreds of millions of dollars and willingly DIVE to save a play is disgusting. At least with rugby you know they're not diving, and play for what they're worth.

Free kicks, penalty kicks, get the other player out of the game by red card... Sometimes just to rest lol

I can't find the clip... but the best fake injury I've seen is when one guy
grabbed his opponent's hand and hit himself in the face. Then proceeded to roll on the floor
like he got shot in the face.

So faking injuries to get an upper hand is considered "part of the game"? I didn't know cheating and being a professional actor was supposed to be on the resume of a world-class professional soccer player, especially when some are being paid over 100 million dollars to play.

Why dont the divers get a red card?

I know in the NHL if you dive and a ref calls a penalty cause of it, he'll have it in for you and not call the not-so-obvious ones. It's like the Ref wants to preserve the integrity game or something?

Soccer is a great game, it's just more often than not, it's played by a bunch of whiny little bitches.

they get penalized if its seen that they're faking or they get ignored

the problem is that its hard to catch that's why fans players etc have been calling for refs to watch replays

even the nhl just reviews video for goals (its easier for the refs to catch fouls though as compared to soccer)

there are time concerns etc etc blahblah blah

why are trolls trolls? they can get away with it ;(

Rivaldo how fake? - YouTube

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.

I've seen more diving in men's soccer than women's soccer. So to call soccer players "women" is stupid. Your title is stupid too.

don't pretend like you guys don't think this isn't what makes the game fun to watch

it's fucking 90 minutes of people running up and down a fucking field.

Diving is not part of rugby because the play keeps going regardless so if you're laying on the ground faking you're hurting your team.

Quite interesting to see the medics come out to attend to a real injury while the play is still flying passed them back and forth and the guy gets back up and rejoins the game.

Rugby players are the toughest fuckers in sports. legit.

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.

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:
