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.

Hockey's got it all, baby. Watch the slow-mo replay (~28 seconds in). So sick.

that must be a set play right?

Soccer is slower and the field is larger. I'm not sure hockey has an analogy to set plays. I'm sure each player has practiced ad infinitum what they did in that play, but it was not executed to plan. Unless the play was: 1) Win face off 2)????? 3) Profit

A good buddy of mine played professionally in Europe and he said it was shocking how much of what they did was set plays. When he first joined the league the coach would given him shit if he broke away from the set play without any good reason to. In the lesser leagues we played in it was always like you described, practicing certain plays forever and waiting for a chance to apply them.

Not sure if the set plays is either a Euro thing or a pro thing.

I was at that game, the roof just about blew off the fucking place. This was like 20 seconds after Henrik scored an assist to make his lead vs Ovechkin in the scoring race by 2. Then his brother goes and caps his hat trick with this beauty (assisted also by Henrik).

Too much awesomeness going on at once, I've never been in a crowd there that reacted that huge.

He's not the real Ronaldo, don't call him that. The real Ronaldo does not cry like a baby every time a defender breathes down his neck.
