Yet they still managed to score less than 3 goals per game in 2,460 games. You continued to watch and called it exciting.

2014 world cup = boring, yet they scoring more on average then an entire years worth of NHL games.

You may not like soccer, which is fine, but to call it boring and low scoring is false.

Costa Rica's upset of Uruguay was infinitely more exciting than any playoff game between the Stars and Ducks.

Trying to sell the call is part of any game and some players do it more than others. It's not really about how tough they are, it's the fifa world cup, people are going to try their best to get every call to go in their favour (although why France needed to do it against Honduras is beyond me).

It's the biggest reason I don't watch soccer...I actually enjoy it, but it annoys the poop out of me watching them flop all over, writhe on the ground for minutes as if their shin is broken, hobble around for a minute once all the drama is over, and then resume their play like nothing happened.

If someone goes down like that, they should be wheeled off the field for a bit, let their antics affect their team

Any interest in throwing Fiddler on the fourth line for 1.5

In the last decade this has occurred more often than you'd think but it's usually the referee's call. I've seen games in big tournaments where the ref just doesn't want to deal with any of it so he'll make an example of the 1st guy to do it and suddenly everyone's too afraid to fall

My biggest hatred of it is when players do it in the 90th minute to defend a lead like (frank)ing Ivory Coast the other day. If you really believe you're good enough to be in the world cup than why the (frank) do you need to pretend to be dead just to kill of 5 minutes? They were playing Japan, and while they are a respectable opponent, they're not Germany or Portugal.

All I know is, the combination of hockey season being officially over, combined with the exorbitant amount of soccer being shoved down my throat, this is going to be one miserable sports month.
