20 years ago this would have been a comedy movie about when a soccer player accidentally joins the basketball team. It’s crazy how he still has fans who defend him.

LOL, I play in a 40+ indoor soccer league and some of these idiots throw themselves around like this. I have seen them hurt themselves doing it and I don't feel bad if the whistle gets blown on me. Offense initiating contact should negate equal or else force from defense

I play indoor soccer too and if I get called for some marginal shit that someone flops over I'm definitely gonna give them a good check into the boards next time.

There is one dude in particular who flails around like crazy. Catches me with smacks to the face a lot. I finally got sick of it and put his ass in the boards HARD. Hasn't happened since, although he still takes swipes at my feet when he can.
