    Yes it is.

    CONCACAF needs to learn how to finish these bitches.
  • Laley23
    I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully the late game meltdowns for CONCACAF are out of the way now!!

    These PKs look 100x better than the Brazil Chile game.

    Lol, no doubt. Hard to believe that's possible.

    And hell yeah, go Costa Rica.

    Was a sick save to win it though.

    What a smart and well thought out post.

    And we need to stop acting like embellishing is bad for the sport. If its a foul its a fucking foul.

    I have no issues with the hating/arguing over the all out dives (when you arent touched/fouled), but there is NOTHING wrong with embellishing. Its a worldwide/sportwide thing.

    Just because its worldwide/sportwide doesn't make it right. Nothing more annoying than seeing 4 guys down on the pitch acting like they are dying just because they got touched..and no foul called. You're right a foul is a foul, it shouldn't need to be sold.

    Im not talking about the injuries. Im talking about Robben flailing his arms like today. If he doesnt, he probably doesnt get the PK...and it was a PK.

    I'm all for embellishing if it's a foul, that's for all sports.

    Regardless, Robben's still irked me. Gotta be smarter as a defender.

    Good one, everyone knows he flops, just like any other player does. Not even comparable to the type of flopping and acting that goes on in Soccer. If you think so you're a certified neanderthal.

    Gamesmanship has always been a part of sports and it always will be, as long as there are advantages to be had from it.

    I take it you didn't watch the video. Would be tough for you to turn off your blind love for LBJ for a few minutes. His flops are pretty much exactly what you just described.

    I already said that I know he flops, and that gamesmanship is a part of every sport if there is advantage to be gained. The flops and acting aren't comparable though. Acting like you got hit with a 50 cal sniper and laying on the ground grabbing your ankle for 1 minute is not comparable to what Lebron or any NBA player does. I like soccer but there are floppers and actors to the up most degree in sports.
