I'm certainly not advocating for it. It was pathetic. But I get why they did it. If you're(not you personally)going to follow soccer, it comes with the territory especially in talent wise lopsided international matches, like this one. [Reply]

Well said. It is a necessary evil.
Quick question, are you a Hawaii grad or fan? If so, we should have a fun signature bet on the Army-Hawaii game. [Reply]

Born and raised on Oahu and my dad is a grad, so I'm a huge fan. However, in this case huge and dumb don't correlate. You'd have to give me points. This team is going to be brutal and God awful on the road. [Reply]

I am good for that. Like I said, it is a friendly bet. The signature wouldn't be anything vulgar.
Haha. Don't worry, it will get better soon. I generally pull for Hawaii when they are not playing Army. You guys are fun to watch. Great traditions and bowl game. [Reply]

Thanks. I pull for all the service academy schools unless they are playing UH. [Reply]

Fuck that "necessary evil" bs. I'm a soccer fan, and think the flopping is beyond ridiculous, and hurts the game. If a match is lopsided, then take your lumps and get better - don't try to game the refs. It's bush league. [Reply]

Ideally, sure. But in a WC situation where you have to at least draw to survive another day, you're gonna do whatever you think you need to in order to survive [Reply]

Nigeria has been very impressive today. Iceland needs to figure out how to add some offense to their system. Good run to the WC and they're not eliminated yet but they don't quite look ready to take the next, next step. [Reply]

Only because there aren't repercussions, and it's somehow accepted by soccer fans. You don't see it in other sports to anywhere near the same degree. Players should be embarrassed trying to pull this shit off. [Reply]
