He is so right I’ll forget he has use Soccer instead of football

And if you don’t like sports at all, there’s always cricket.

Bucky’s watching too many “World’s Dumbest” shows!

Please leave the aerobatics to Simone Biles. Can’t Touch This.

With soccer, I don’t think of people flying through the air. I think of people suddenly falling to the ground, clutching various body parts, seemingly in total agony…

People like to criticize football/soccer players who play up their injuries, but I’ve read that they frequently have good reason to do so. Top players are often targeted by opposing players who deliberately try to injure them when the referees aren’t watching and put them out of the game. Their only defense against that is to draw attention to themselves whenever someone does it, even if it means a bit of overacting.

Bucky is correct. Association football has too much flopping, much like the NBA.

I’ve seen basketball players also taking dives. But in that sport, it’s called flopping. And the only water involved is when their flop sweat is toweled off the floor.

Bucky has a point. There are some great performances.

Time for a Bucky rant. And…we’re off!

Demotivational Poster: If you expect to score points for whining, join a european soccer team.

With the advent of video assisted refereeing in most of the major European leagues and tournaments diving is a thing of the past. Almost never happens and when it does the offender gets a card.

Bucky knows not what he speaks of … the rest of the world calls it FOOTBALL
