I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

It is most definitely a flop. It's been examined in slomo, frame by frame. If I feel like it, I'll find the gif that shows it even more clearly

So I googled "Soccer Fucking Sucks" and this is what I came up with:
Why Soccer Sucks: The Antidote To World Cup Idiocy - By Genghis Goldberg - The eXiled
An article from '98, sure, but it still rings true.
A highlight:
"None of us here at the eXile can figure out why the World Cup can’t be played without ties. Soccer people generally talk about the game being too physically stressful to play sudden-death overtimes, which would force players to stay on the field for an indefinite amount of time after regulation. If that’s true, how do professional hockey players manage during the NHL playoffs? It’s just as tough to score in hockey, and physically about ten thousand times tougher to play. The abovementioned Roberto Baggio would probably have to be hospitalized if he were forced to so much as watch one major-league hockey check, much less actually experience one. And yet: there are no ties in playoff hockey."

2nd gif is purely a contact between both players. You see the dude stutter step after his knee hits the guys foot.

and another reason for suckage
Also, no evidence should be needed to support the fact that it sucks, because it obviously just sucks.
Now if all soccer was like this, I'd start paying more attention to it:

I really hope everyone here is consistent with their hate for fake dives and hates basketball.

You can bet on a draw. You might see lines such as +130 USA, +150 ENG, +250 draw, implying neither team is a 50% outright winner. I am OK with the potential of a sporting event being a tie, but it can't be so likely that you can wager on it happening.

The article I posted above states that around 40%? or so of games end in a tie. Exciting!

Soccer is a beautiful game.
I dislike basketball because of what makes basketball: too many rules.
I dislike baseball because of what makes baseball: snail like pace throughout and sabremetrics.
I dislike cricket because, hey its cricket.
I dislike NFL because of a variety of reasons, chief among which is the gratuitous hits that are so common and could be part of an Uwe Boll movie and the multitude of stupid rules. You could write at least ten bibles with the NFL rulebook.
I can't say anything about the NHL because I'm not familiar with ice sports.
Rugby's cool though.
Soccer is the only game played the world over, and is also the only game which has been kept simple throughout the years because of a lack of rules. There are no breaks, particularly no commercial breaks, no pauses in the action other than halftime to change sides. The NFL is notorious for this crap, as it has been designed with advertising in mind.
As Antoine de Saint-Exupéry once said, "perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." IMO, Soccer is the closest to this. Naturally you will have a few refereeing gaffes throughout, but for instance when Pierluigi Colina was the main man of the referees the kind of shit that went down at this years World Cup was unheard of.
Soccer should not add replays ever, instead better referees should be trained and added and let us the fans keep cursing about missed goals and bogus offside calls. Oh, and the acting (particularly by Gabriel Heinze or El Niño Torres as in Wufwugy's GIF). But that is what it has always been about, why change now?
That said, hate on.
(Interesting though, 2/3 of the examples provided by Wufwugy are from La Furia Roja. Hmmmm)

Goal-line replay technology is something that's so easy to put in place though, I mean they already have cameras in the goals! And the players want it... and the fans want it... apart from the weird purists who are afraid of change, everybody seems to think it's a totally sensible thing to implement. It's not like it'd cause a huge delay since controversial goals happen only once in a while, unlike in hockey where it's a relatively common occurrence.

I've heard that that is exactly why football has it so hard to break through in the US, it doesn't lean well to the insane every 5 minutes advertising.

the beauty of football is indeed that it is so easy to play, yet so subtle and skillfull.
You just need a ball of some sort, a bit of ground and you can play.

no-one likes the diving and bullshit - but thats just some countries and you have to accept it.
Thing is, in a team you have your fannies like Robben, Ronaldo, and the gifs above. But you also need you hard players. and it becomes a battle of wits. And the diving bastards try and cheat the ref - they'd say this is gameplay, I call it cheating. Whatever - its part of the game.
You want rough, watch MMA or rugby or maybe Ice Hockey. You want skill watch football/soccer.
in the football level I play, if some dived like that, they'd be given a real reason to stay on the floor.
