I hate flopping in soccer (1 Viewer)

Mirite? Who's with me?

:hifive:

I mean, weebles wobble, but they don't fall down.

Time for Americans to stamp out flopping.

Lets hear your examples of this travesty.

 
Old management mantra: "That which gets rewarded gets done."

As long as the reward for flopping outweighs the punishment for doing it, it will continue.

I struggle to think of a solution. Best one I've come up with is that there is an on-going replay review to identify flopping...it doesn't impact the play on the field. Calls are still made as they normally are. Refs will inevitably be duped by flops, no penalties awarded, etc. An off-field crew will monitor and count obvious flops with the aid of replay as the game goes on. If, at the end of any half of play, a player has more than X obvious flops, that player receives a yellow card at the end of the half. Yes...I know that would never lead to a player being sent off for the game in which he flops, but it would mean they could miss future matches. It would also help track/count who does it the most. Some sort of accountability, even if not real-time, is the only way to stop this.

 
Flop judge dedicated to reviewing for them. He finds evidence? He calls it down to the pitch and a Yellow card is given.

Let's play ball, fellas.

 
The only things that should be flopping at the soccer games are the breasts of the female fans after jumping up and down celebrating a goal.

 
if they deem it a flop, then the rule should be that player is automatically suspended for the next match. If they flop in the next game, they are suspended for the entire world cup. that would end it

 
Maybe the penalty for flopping should be a free kick - you know when the player is still down, the other teams gets one good kick in the midsection.

 
I think Steve Tasker said it in the other thread. The faking injury after the flop and continuing to play like nothing is wrong less than a minute later is the worst part.
