    Greek player falls after zero contact with Russian, taken off on stretcher, then ...

    ... gets off stretcher and is fine.

    If you try to defend this and the patheticness of how this sport is played at the top level, you are a huge pussy and a f\*g. What is perhaps the most pathetic is even the commentator doesn't say anything about it. If you did this in any other sport you would be mocked for months.... by your own teammates.

    Nobody likes that stuff. Player should be red-carded, as far as I'm concerned. Still, this is not the number one sport for flopping. That would be NBA basketball.

    It would be more tolerable if they fell, hoped for foul, then got up again. It's the crying and moaning and rolling around, faking injury, then 2 seconds later being 100%. At least that does not exist in the NBA.

    In the NBA flopping decides a lot more games than in soccer. It's rewarded all the time. No need to embellish. No doubt soccer has become softer over the years. Not sure why. You should have seen the cracking tackling in the 1970's. The ball is much lighter too. Almost every shot from outside of the box flies over the bar with this beach ball. There's a point where a ball is 'supposed' to dip, but this thing continues to rise instead. I've never seen such poor quality soccer, for Euro or WC, as in this tournament. Very hard to watch.

    soccer is a great game to watch so much emotion. Any sport where there is that much emotion I'm on board!

    But with that said You would have to fukkin break my leg - snap my leg in half to ever - ever carry me off on a fukkin stretcher
    maybe thats the old football genes that run double days deep.
    Then after the girls carry these guys off, they are joggin and 100% to get back in the game - pretty sickning

    so you have an injured or fake injured player on the grass rolling around wasting
    precious time - to not have the clock stop in this situation is beyond excruciating
    and so is needing a goal in soccer and watching it on tv. Yes I had Russia and I'm pssed. I suppose I made my annual donation to this stupid sport.
    just go away

    If u want a productive way of dealing with injuries during play then look no further than how Rugby Union deals with the matter...

    Your example doesn't even show the play.

    I'm not sure why soccer fans get so defensive of their sport. It shows an insecurity. Lots of people think baseball is boring, I don't give a shit b/c I love it and I know it is the hardest sport in the world to excel at. Science has even proven this.

    Anyway, most soccer athletes are small guys, wouldn't even be able to play in the NBA, NFL, MLB... just kind of how it goes. I guess it appeals to some people because of that.

    I dont defend the NBA players, just saying it happens very rarely if ever compared to soccer. Happens 15-20 times a game in soccer. Happens maybe one in 50 in NBA (not diving, faking serious injury). And you won't ever see it in MLB/NHL.

    ... No, I turned it on to check the score, and that's what I saw. Watched maybe 7 minutes of the game.

    Goes to show just how pervasive this pathetic diving culture is

    Thanks you for showing that clip. I always think of that when I hear of soccer fakers.

    However, it's the only clip you'll find of an NBA player faking injury compared to the dozens of times in every game in soccer. Sure the NBA has their floppers but very few injury fakers.

    Flopping in soccer and non-call travelling in the NBA have to be two of the worst acts, or at least most annoying.

    Flopping in the NBA is lame and slows the game down, but these soccer fake injuries are fukking hilarious to watch. The soccer dudes take it to a whole new level.
