Why is soccer full of performative dramafag tier acting to try and win games?Both at the world cup final and in random farmers league matcheseven off the field with retards like ronaldo and el benchoall of their stars (messi, ronaldo, yamal) are not respectable, it's only mbappe, haaland and the PSG ngubus who don't do this shit
Have you seen the Liverpool and Barcelona games today? They both won their games off of it. So why not?
>>158234308Mbappe "we europeans" is insanely performative, he never stepped foot into africa, proudly plays for the nation who colonized them and then tries to beg africans for the ballon d or vote because he is one of them or some shieetHaaland is fine tho
>>158234308It's really bizarre when u think about it No other sport does thisYou have to wonder why and when it started It's actually a very serious question that deserves some thought and research
>>158238145Alright so it's because you're all boot licking hyper socialized faggots that can't breathe air or take a piss without someone there to sing kumbaya with you and hold your hand and you appeal to authority because none of you are men that can stand alone so you have to constantly whine to obese rent seekers for crumbs off the tableNext question

>>158238253Keep watching Jew sitcoms did u a lot of good
>>158238280ok fake paraguay
>>158238145>You have to wonder why and when it startedIt started when the refs enabled it, when they started rewarding diving and shitty behavior.
>>158238312It's the easiest thing in the world to get rid of too, just review the game at the end and hand out retrospective yellows and eventually redsIt's insane this hasn't been done yet
>>158238312Imagine instead of that Jew end racism in football bullshit campaign they had an end simulation effortIt would be such a comfy sport to follow manFuckin, this shit is infuriating it's so filthy and sleezy Inb4 oh it's only dirty southernersKlinnsman was the worst diver of all time that filthy kraut rat
>>158238442Racism was actually cool and funThis is disgusting faggotry
>>158238442We have no leaders there are no men No one has the balls to end simulationThe emperor has no clothes
>>158234308this is nuts
>>158238145It's creeping into basketball
Which records is hardest to break /sp/
They rigged the world cup for Spain because we were considered racist for not having blacks in the team. Now Spain is being invaded but they have to accept the migrants to prove that they're not racist.
>>158234308Wait until you hear about tennis, that's a real tryhard drama queen sport
>>158244581>1l.iterally the cleanest sport as far as this
>>158234308because this behavior is rewarded and has cemented so much that nowadays it is the norm, and there's no federation that has an incentive to discourage it. Maybe because it adds to the spectacle, maybe because hate has been proven to sell a lot, don't really know but it sure is about money
>>158246504yeah i know that's what i was afriad of man. that's probably it, as usual
Rules very open + Cultural + A lot of pression to win games, more than other sports because of the crazy fans. It sucks but this kind of cheating is a big advantage in football

>>158234308Because dirty sudacacas
>>158234308
>>158234308Get over it
>>158252591kek
>>158234308Because referees started rewarding it when the top players started doing it 15 something years ago (Nerman for example).The same shit is happening in the NBA btw
>>158272605People were already complaining about diving from Brazil and other teams at the 2002 World Cup, the alleged "golden age":https://www.theguardian.com/football/2002/jun/23/worldcupfootball2002.sport18"Only fools and nostalgics believe this Brazil bear the slightest resemblance to their great teams of the past. And at the beating heart of the Brazilian machine is Rivaldo. An early manifestation of the new cynicism surfaced here in the game against Turkey, when Rivaldo feigned the most extreme pain, pretending Hakan Unsal had volleyed the ball into his face. All the world (including Fifa) could see the ball had struck Rivaldo's knee - and the piddling $7,000 fine imposed was an insult. Fifa's favourites? Could be.There was nothing beautiful, either, about Rivaldo's falling in England's penalty area in the quarter-final, clutching his ankle one minute, and running like a startled deer to the other end the next. Rivaldo saved his masterpiece of cheating, though, for a mid-air challenge for the ball with Sol Campbell as Brazil, down to 10 men, clung to their 2-1 lead in the second half. The England player's fingers lightly brushed the Brazilian's face, and Rivaldo threw himself to the turf with all the sincerity of a child crying for sweets. He writhed and he grimaced. If he could level the numbers, his team's advantage would be more secure.England thought he was genuinely hurt and kicked the ball into touch. When play resumed, Brazil banged the ball a good 30 yards further down field to give England back possession in a less threatening position. As Rivaldo jogged back to the fray, he grinned his knowing grin. That morning, Rivaldo had given an interview to a writer not obviously disposed to the thumbscrew school of journalism, and the Brazilian genius was beguiling.'I want to win this ... I care about this more than anything,' he had said."
>>158272605>>158272759"The most cowardly act of all, by some way, at this World Cup was committed in the second round by Rafael Marquez, Mexico's captain. Waiting until the very end of a game they were losing 2-0, he clobbered Cobi Jones, the American player, from behind, knowing it was his final gesture of the tournament. He had his knee up and followed up with a head-butt. Not far behind was Joao Pinto, the Portuguese player, whom Fifa have suspended indefinitely for assaulting a referee. The art of the con is not only an Hispanic or a Latin thing, though. It is universal. Prominent among the carded for 'unsporting behaviour' were the usual suspects, many of them graduates of the Premiership: Emmanuel Petit, Dietmar Hamann, Christian Ziege. And the method of choice to gain unfair advantage or leave a mark in the game is the dive. Step forward, and fall down Luis Hernandez, of Mexico. And Sweden's Johan Mjallby, Italy's Christian Panucci and Francesco Totti, all Greg Louganis nominees, shamelessly nonplussed when found out. And, in Friday's game, St David Beckham, guilty of two second-half dives in the penalty area."
>>158272759>>158272797Yes, but those were few players doing it once in a while here and there, kinda like an strategic foul. Back then flopping was still seen as a highly homosexual act, your post only proves my point as Turkish people are still butthurt about Rivaldo to this day.It was only when extremely players like Neymar started throwing themselves on the ground on the pretense of saving themselves from injuries, that their retarded fans and referees started allowing it more and more. And then it became a resource.The same exact shit started happening in the NBA around the same time when Wade and guys like Lebum, a guy who could run through anyone in the league, started flopping to get freethrows
>>158272874Big names like Francesco Totti and David Beckham also diving indicates it was already normalized well before Neymar and Griezmann (whose diving in 2018 won France the World Cup).
>>158272942But it wasn't normalized. That's the point. Totti was respected as he was somewhat the only star in Roma, so him doing it was like le strategy. Beckham was a fag, so whatever. It was only with Neymar that this was normalized, specially in Brazilian football.This kinda of behavior was mocked growing up, everyone wanted to be like R9, Kaká, Ronaldinho or Adriano who would just push or dribble through people without stopping. If vividly remember the shift when young Ganso and Neymar first appeared and kids started mimicking Neymar's flopping, everyone hated that shit and would beat the shit out of everyone doing that even harder. Five years later and pretty much every dribbler was doing that because it was le smart. That's around the time I stopped playing it cause I couldn't deal anymore with the faggot shit. Then I started playing basketball and guess what happened? Same shit around the time Harden became an MVP candidate in 2017 and everyone in the league simultaneously decided it was ok to flop.
third world sport, third world behavior, why is this confusing
>>158252254gay
>>158273343??This was the mentality of Brazil's coach at the 2002 World Cup:"Brazil's coach is a great fan of 'physical' football, and he criticised China at this tournament for not making enough fouls. In their shambolic domestic football the average number of fouls per game is 60, and the game is riven by accusations of corruption. It is whispered that, if they reach the final, they will have the referee of their choice. Some say they are Fifa's pets."
>>158252591Kek
You can't blame the players for using these stupid rules to their advantage even if it seems faggy drama. Why wouldn't they, it's a game and they want to win.The problem is that these rules exist.
