Occasionally taking a dive to draw a foul is one thing, all the histrionics and fake wincing and bullshite melodrama throughout the World Cup Final is something else.

Using it as your out for not liking soccer is a cop out.

SO unless you're ready to stop liking the NBA (NFL is starting to get some ridiculous flops too), then just say you don't like soccer.

No need to give a halfbaked excuse for it.

Do you not understand the language?

Well, you're greatly exaggerating what happens in soccer, why not do that for the other sports too? Is it maybe you just don't like soccer and are trying to make up reasons to not watch it?

Well, that settles it. You're an expert.

I agree. I already said that. It's not nearly as bad as you say it is though.

Asking what you're copping out of shows you don't understand the language.

The frick you aren't

And that means jack shite.

100 hours over 12 years isn't exactly a lot of soccer. You have no idea what you're talking about.

frick if I know, but you're exaggerating the flopping to use it as your excuse.

And it's a gross exaggeration.

That doesn't excuse your exaggerations.
