And I am sorry soccer fans... the stereotype of players acting like they were just hit with a sniper bullet every time they get grazed is 100% accurate. The amount of flopping in a game would make the Duke Blue Devils proud.
Why does that bother people? I WANT my players to do it, to try to draw UNDESERVED foul calls, it's a strategy, part of the game, I'd coach it and endorse it IN EVERY SPORT. And in the end, most of the time they don't get the call, so why does it bother you.
As for Messi, I think he's about washed up, he's like 32 years old, he's near the end IMO.
