I don't watch soccer, but why do a lot of them put their hands over their face no matter where they get hit? Is this the international sign for "I'm a wuss"?

I like soccer and watch it but this part of it drives me crazy. I hate it. Man up and play the damn game. You can tell the European influence. Compare that clip to these.

Futbol was my sport. I have played here and in Europe. Its a fast moving sport with moderate violence. The stuff we're discussing here is playacting to draw a penalty. Real futbol players just play futbol.

Please note that nobody has seen our guys doing that @#$%.

You see that in every sport. My point was that some of them got hit (or nudged) in the stomach, chest, or wherever, then grabbed their face like they were punched in the nose and fell to the ground. If you're going to be an actor, at least be a good actor. :chuckle:

I thought it was because all those "nil" nil" games were found to be coma inducing to the audience.
