Soccer is Definitely Better than the WNBA

Speaking of basketball and soccer, who flops more?

Vlade Divac or your typical soccer player?

I've never seen so many players pretending and grimacing like they are going to die, only to be running up and down the field minutes later when the sell job didn't work on the refs.

Divac was king flop, so I will go with him.

Did you see Dwight Yorke of Trinidad & Tobago when he took a ball right in the nutsack? I tell you, even I was grimacing at that one.

There are many actors, its' true, but remember that football players don't use any protection, they don't have any helmets or anything.
I'd like you to receive a kick from a 6'8" european pro player on the chest or on your knees to see if you don't fall down crying...

Yes, i bet youd have liked to have rubbed them better. Can you stop grooming?

A sharp stick in the eye is better than the WNBA.

Do players get penailsed for "diving" or "simulating fouls" in basketball (like getting a yellow card or something)?

Or is not such a problem?

Somebody should go ask Raja Bell about that.

Yes, when they simulate a fault and dive into the ground they usually get a yellow card.
When they don't get it, is when it's not an important play.

WNBA has soft lines.....pros are putting a lot of effort in the WNBA b/c of that....real pros know where the value is...

I think I would watch the WNBA before soccer. I have tried to watch some games from the World Cup and just can't do it. I might have a hair more tolerance for women's hoops where at least the "action" is focused closer to the nets.

Go Croatia!

**Mudcat** · 06-23-06, 09:49 AM

Ooooh, talk about hitting a guy when he's not only down but his Croatia loving heart has been ripped from his chest.

There is a lot of acting at soccer for sure, but the game itself is *very* intense for the players international.
Try playing a real soccer game for 90 minutes, i would rather try football with all its pauses :-P

Czechs, Croatia and Serbia didn't classify, that region has problems.
