I love how the guy that did the kicking falls as if his leg got broken by the other guy's nuts

It's an excellent spectator sport once you understand the basics; it's even better if you're drunk and rooting for your favorite team. Although I've never been able to get past the fake injuries bullshit -- there SHOULD be replays, and people SHOULD be carded for clearly faking being hurt. The soccer powers that be are stubborn, and don't want to change anything, but Goddammit, WHY NO REPLAYS?

[–]stave 5 points6 points ago

I heard that the reason there are no replays is so that the game they play professionally requires no more equipment than a ball, a stopwatch, and some kind of goal markers. This makes it so when you go to the park with some buddies, you're playing "just like the pros!"

Still a load of bullshit, professional soccer needs replays to stop this ridiculous acting.

[–]0six0four 3 points4 points ago

It's a fast pace game, If the refs had to review a play it would slow down the match. The only reason replays are allowed in football (american) is because it is split into quarters so there can be commercials.

[–]FaberCastell2 2 points3 points ago

Then have people watching video behind the scene? They review calls of faking injuries, etc. and if they find it to be the case. The person responsible gets a yellow or red card. Doesn't slow the game and more people will stop faking.

[–]Makkaboosh 0 points1 point ago

Again, there is this ideology in FIFA and other associations that they want to make the professional game accessible and playable at all levels. I can set up a game of football in my town that follows all the guidelines of FIFA without any trouble. That's how lower leagues can exist. So until this type of technology becomes affordable for the average league, FIFA isn't going to be changing anything.

[–]jevmorgan 0 points1 point ago

This is a ridiculous reason for not allowing instant replay. American football has instant replay, but then there are minor leagues, college games, high school, and peewee (little children) games of that that don't have the instant replay. So what if you can't play it EXACTLY like the pros. Guess what! You're not playing like a pro unless you are a pro, regardless of what equipment you're using.

[–]FaberCastell2 0 points1 point ago

But. They use Eagle Eye Cams and stuff for professional Tennis and American Football. It doesn't stop people from just getting a tennis racket and a couple of balls and a net to play Tennis. You can still play in the Minor Leagues. All it does is make the Major Leagues more pristine and rules enforced.

[–]subwayisaporno 3 points4 points ago

I get soccer. I do. I've tried to watch it. My boyfriend's really into it. But soccer and hockey are just two sports I can't get behind. I love football because it's so complex. Football takes a well oiled machine and all the right movements and the right exactly placed blocks or passes...But it's action packed too. Doesn't put me to sleep.

[–]subwayisaporno 0 points1 point ago

I'm not saying it doesn't. I'm saying it's not as interesting or action packed as I view football to be.

I'm never going to like soccer or hockey.

end of discussion.

[–]seltzerislife 11 points12 points ago

Football is boring as fuck to me. For every five minutes of a game there's about 10 seconds of actual play.

[–]dumpster99 4 points5 points ago

Wow I sure love this sport with commercials every 30 seconds. Yep, these constant pauses really make the action better. ONe play at a time? That means theres more action.

End of discussion.

[–]subwayisaporno 9 points10 points ago

See, this is why there's a bunch of different sports! yay. I'm not asking you to agree with me. It's not football's fault the NFL sells out advertisements like the plague. But as soon as the snap goes everyone moves, everyone has to be at a certain place and you're just hoping for that one quick breakthrough. Mmm, I love it. Hockey has the same type of feel to it, I agree..but I can NEVER and I mean NEVER see where the puck is or tell when a good "move" has been made. I can't dissect the plays the way I can football.

Each to their own, mon frere.

[–]jergens -1 points0 points ago

And how are commercials every 10 minutes or so any different from 50 out of every 60 seconds of a soccer game being spent in the middle of the field (er, I mean "pitch") where nothing of interest can possibly happen?

[–]uncoiledspaghetti 2 points3 points ago

Hockey is way more action packed than football. It just takes some time to get used to in order to really see whats happening. But even if you cant see all that yet, there's some intense hits, and scoring is always awesome.

Football is great, but hockey is wayy more exciting.

[–]ilogintodownvote 0 points1 point ago

Although the concept of putting a round object of some sort into a net is shared between the two sports, you have to admit that hockey is, at very least, more intriguing based on the simple fact that things happen quickly and violently. Kind of like Football actually...

Although I would agree that the depth of strategy in Football is second to no other sport. It's like a giant chess match with hulking 300 pound men that want to kill each other.

[–]Carbon_Dirt 4 points5 points ago

This is why I was never able to get into football. That doesn't even factor in the commercials either.

As far as sports go, I'm more a fan of combat sports like fencing, boxing, martial arts sort of things (real ones, not "pro wrestling"). If I'm gonna watch something on TV, it'd probably be something like Ninja Warrior. I know, I know it's overly cheesy, but it manages to hold my attention better than most other highly-televised sports.

he hit two balls instead of one

[–]vicmac1995 100 points101 points ago

He sees the other guy get hurt and he's like, "oh fuck better fall down too"

[–]PopsGG 38 points39 points ago

I used to do the same thing as a kid when i hurt someone. I think it's natural instinct. Damage control.

[–]fan_22 23 points24 points ago

As an older brother I can relate to this comment.

[–]Shinpachi 0 points1 point ago

I don't know... I'm pretty sure they train for it.

[–]biga29 86 points87 points ago

It actually looked like he hyper-extended the shit out of his knee.

[–]Damindenie 12 points13 points ago

Logical explanation. He was expecting to get some more resistance from the (big) ball.

[–]fan_22 4 points5 points ago

He was kicking 'through' the ball or in this case 'balls.'

[–]expectantyoke 17 points18 points ago

I know not why you're being downvoted. That's exactly what it looks like!

[–]Dzungana 16 points17 points ago

that's what i thought too... but then he broke character:

http://youtu.be/iki1-JHKbg8?t=32s

[–]cuddlyogre 2 points3 points ago

Yup. Faking. Not the due in yellow. He's not walking right for weeks.

[–]Toof 2 points3 points ago

Because his left leg buckles, not his right. It happens even after he catches his weight on it, stabilizes, then he drops it out.

[–]willscy 12 points13 points ago

Have you ever been distracted with sharp pain that has caused you to just stop whatever you were doing before? I have.

[–]pureprotest 5 points6 points ago

looks like he stops himself from using his right foot. Id fall down on my left if I blew out my right knee. Common sense really.

[–]tehbrucebanner 2 points3 points ago

ohmyholyshit, I just now noticed, after watching the gif several times, how messed up that actually looked.

[–]dickcheney777 -1 points0 points ago

It sure looks like it but then its football...

[–]whatitslike -1 points0 points ago

Except that it's his left leg that suddenly collapses underneath him causing him to flop to the ground.

[–]CyaNBlu3 4 points5 points ago

You never know, that man may have balls of steel.

[–]th1nker 4 points5 points ago

After rewatching it over 30 times, laughing every time, I noticed that he hit him with his knee and his leg looks like it hyper extended. Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna rewatch this 30 more times.

watch closely and youll see the knee go beyond the point where it should go, that must have hurt like all hell. Both of them nut sack and knee pop

[–]Blackcat008 14 points15 points ago

have you ever kicked solid steel?

lol jk soccer players don't have balls of steel

[–]killzy707 2 points3 points ago

probably hyper-extended his knee.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

[–]DemDude 15 points16 points ago

That's originally made to be the Italian training, hence the Ferrari and the falling. Doesn't really apply to the German team either, they play remarkably fair, in my opinion.

To be fair, the Italians played really fair and really well in this years Euro-Cup, too,vespecially considering how they played in the 2006 World Cup, where they spent half the game lying on the grass, moaning and bitching after no contact whatsoever, trying to gain an unfair advantage.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

Let me explain.

I am Dutch.

PS. Germany sucks at football, always.

[–]DemDude 7 points8 points ago

[–]JaxRiens 1 point2 points ago

it was his other leg that hes clenching looks like an actual knee hyperextension.

[–]cswider 19 points20 points ago

go away, we're making fun of soccer players...

[–]adamsimon 8 points9 points ago

He's not holding his leg. He made contact with another player and fell to deceive the ref.

[–]prairiedawg91 4 points5 points ago

Bullshit, he gingerly landed on it and it didn't appear to be hyperextended at all.

[–]croutonicus 2 points3 points ago

Watch it again, look at his kicking leg just before he hits the guy. Way over extended, he was expecting earlier resistance from the ball but got nothing.

[–]AcBoober57 0 points1 point ago

I think it's like like when you were a kid and you hit your younger sibling and he/she started crying so you started crying too because it makes you look less guilty.

I don't think falling in this situation is a big deal, i think some people fall in a specific way after something like this happens so they don't get hurt. We can't assume everyone is a scumbag :(

[–]just_casual 1 point2 points ago

I like the way the player that kicked him fell down to the ground. That split second when he decises wheter to fall or not is priceless.

[–]kemojawo -3 points-2 points ago

So many ignorant idiots in this thread. The guy in the blue didn't 'go down for no reason'. He couldn't follow through with the shot because the guys nuts were in the way. He lost balance because he couldn't execute the shot, causing him to fall. He's not holding his leg or anything.

Just cause a player goes down doesn't mean he's faking anything. If anything he was limiting the damage to the other guy by taking his foor out and not following though.

FFS.

[–]Vengeant 4 points5 points ago

Might want to reserve judgement until you've seen the video. Looks like he's holding his leg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iki1-JHKbg8

That's not to say that he's not genuinely hurt though. He might have nailed the guy's cup above his shin guard.

[–]croutonicus 0 points1 point ago

Watch the gif slowly, his leg is very over extended because there is no resistance from the ball. Probably has minor ligament damage or shock.

[–]kemojawo 0 points1 point ago

Ah, you're right. Fair enough!

Just tired of the reputation soccer has in general in US/Canada etc, I guess I felt like having a little snap back.

Thanks for clearing this up though!
