"Punish the floppers"

So I hate flopping as much as the next guy, but I thought the Ivory Coast vs Kaka incident was a great move on the Ivory Coast's players part. Kaka was being a bitch and I saw nothing wrong with the guy playing the system to remove him from the game. If you as a player are on the brink of getting your second yellow, the ref has warned you to calm down, you are beating a team in the last 10 mins by multiple goals; you don't put your elbow (however slight) into the chest of an opponent when the game is stopped like that. That was just dumb on Kaka's part.

I like it, these soccer players act like pussies. They pretend to be injured just to get other players thrown out. Its annoying to watch these guys act like their legs are broken then get up and run off when a card is presented.

I used to give Bob Bradley a whole lot of shite, but I'm going to say he's done a really good job lately.

Big understatement, imo
