    I would say yes. It was a team with DeBruyne, Luis Gustavo (injured now) & Junior Malanda (sadly passed away)

    Brian McBride added,
    Alex G @alexgurv1987@BMcBride20 Wolfsburg was a better team last year without Draxler? Right .

I think it's really ridiculous to call them pussies. Basketball players flop. Wide receivers fall down and beg for a PI. It happens in every sport, for some reason Americans choose to ignore it. I also think a lot of shit that might like minor can really hurt badly. going down in the box is no different than a WR going down in the red zone and getting a phantom flag. We know this happens all the time in football

You guys know more soccer than i just watched

shouldnt there be a way to "clean" this kinda shit up and have sides not play for fucking DRAWS?

This could be a big issue on Matchday 3 of this tournament in a group or two. All matches played at different venues and the second one goes after the first one is final instead of simultaneous play. Would certainly making betting on the matches Sat-sun-mon-tues next week tedious at best depending on what's at stake
 
anyone ever done PAR or Chile or UR, etc


always hear people going to ARG or BRA


love to go down there

having difficulty following it, was he basically calling you out for not knowing KDB played for Wolfsburg?

He said on ESPN FC that Wolfsburg was much better last year compared to this year. So i tweeted him "Wolfsburg was better without Draxler? Naw". He reminded me about KdB

as alex pointed out, it happens just as much in "US" sports

only reason its pointed out in soccer is by the US is as an excuse

oh no worries I know

I think biggest factor is just its a sport US doesn't dominate

like look at basketball, Manu was never biggest flopper in the league but he got the most shit for it because he's foreign

    @TaylorTwellman Schweinsteiger is not a key player anymore for Germany. Have you watched him at Man U? Its addition by subtraction

I didnt even think of the wagering aspect

It's not just the flopping for most people, it's them playing dead for a minute after flopping.

Flopping to try and draw a call certainly exists in every sport, soccer is no different in that regard.

Teams play for the draw because it's better then a lose. Honestly Leicester played this form of football this year (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and consistently hit people on the counter. Typically in tournaments like this, the final games of the group stages are played at once. They are doing some weird things in this tournament.

Was watching PTI and TK and wilbon said the copa America is inconsequential for the USA. These blokes need to stop talking soccer

Valid point. Sometimes the rolling around is legit, sometimes it's not. I'll add that most soccer fans hate flopping as well. It's not accepted as a part of the game. I also don't think it's nearly as bad as many people make it out to be.

Yeah them talking about soccer seems like it would be kind of awkward. The point about Copa can't be too far off though, wasn't tonight the first win in the tourney for the US since 1995? US soccer has certainly grown (for fans) and their quality of play has increased (it seems that way, at least) in the past 20 years...and the Copa didn't have much of anything to do with that....maybe that's what they meant by their comments? They probably didn't mean that, but it would be understandable if that's the "excuse" they gave about the comment.
 
I'll also add that they are no calls in soccer (as part of the game and within the rules) that would be considered personal fouls in the NFL and get you thrown out of NCAAF games.
