Message: [QUOTE="Yardigan, post: 2753452, member: 8851"] I love the nationalism of soccer....everyone in/from a country supporting that team...the 'Cubes' (my name for Iceland)...Costa Rica, from having been there, seen their national stadium and heard first hand about the fervor surrounding the team... but, one thing I'm kind of sick of...anytime two players bump into each other, one of them goes down like he's either been shot, or suffered the same injury as Gordon Hayward. Then, 10 seconds later...he's running around like nothing happened. I've joked about soccer being the only sport where the refs are tougher than the players, but was watching a game today (may have been Iceland), where a guy bumped into a ref and went down like a sack of potatoes.... I'm glad these guys aren't really getting hurt, but good grief, sometimes it looks like they're popping a dozen acl's per game... [/QUOTE]
