One thing that always bug me about soccer

[Matthias]

There's definitely some hard collisions when the players are running full force.  Also, I can't imagine the pain when someone is hit with a hard headbutt while the ball is in the air.  Of course all of this is relatively new to me.  I didn't know soccer was more known for it's flopping than any other sport.

The sad part about it, is it's worked it's way down to the high school level in America.

Perhaps there need to be some rule changes in the major league, and let it work it's way down to the high school level.  Cut down on yellow card foul calls.

Yeah, it's more about the way the game is officiated.

In my opinion, officials don't give out enough cards for embellishment.

I think if you saw more warnings for embellishment then the flopping would begin to disappear.

The problem is soccer is a worldwide game and it's officiated differently by everybody, so literally every official in the world would have to be on the same page and take a stance against flopping.

Ah, I believe I understand what you're talking about.  I know when it comes to basketball in the Olympics, the game is officiated a little bit different than we do it in the US.

I want to see someone flop on the handshake

English 'soccer' fans hate it just as much.

 

For some reason it only seems to happen at the top level (International, Premier League etc), I follow a team that plays in the 3rd tier of English footy and it's much less common here.
