No wonder this shite hasn't caught on in the U.S........

Hell, it's invading basketball full on with the influx of euro pussies and it's definitely invading real football with all the fake injuries to slow down offenses.

So....to entertain ourselves until football starts, let's see your best soccer flop gifs/vids

Flopping in all sports is a disgrace.

You aren't paying very close attention the sporting landscape.

You can't watch an NBA game for 5 minutes without seeing someone flop.

flopping is equally prevelant in basketball. it's also a regular occurence in football (american), it just comes in the form of faking injuries.

the only sport that doesn't have flopping is baseball, and that's because there's very little to no athletic movement involved and 0 contact.

Yup, draw more attendance than the NBA or NHL. The Sounders draw a hell of a lot more fans than the Mariners.

I contend that if Seattle got a second MLS team, it too would outdraw the Mariners.

In regards to the OP, the flopping stereotype is way overplayed as being a soccer specific trait

I'm sure batters have faked getting hit by a pitch.

People have been saying it will catch on for fricking 30 years now. It is still faaaaar from mainstream. It won't ever be as popular as football and baseball in the U.S. until the best players actually play in the U.S. league and a t.v. deal is done.

Well, the flopping didn't start happening as bad as it's happening now in basketball until all the euros started playing in the NBA.

It will never overtake football but baseball could be a different story.
