to the OP, not all of us are freaking ogres like you ok so getting headbutted like that would probably knock most of us onto our asses. Especially if I wasn't expecting it.

Maybe... but would you roll around on the field and cry in front of 1 billion people?

Would you verbally insult someone on global TV (so that you are seen, but not heard) to the point of making him snap?

I just thought of a great sports movie...

Starring Leonardo Di Caprio

Disney Pictures presents

The Dive

Leo, a young man becomes well known for his ability to make convincing dives on the field. When one of the USA World Cup team forwards breaks his leg, the US team seeks out Leo to fill his spot. By diving red cards to several of the worlds greatest players, Leo earns the love of his team during qualifying but the disrespect and and angst of the fans.

But, when the world cup comittee adopts anti-diving rules, Leo is forced to play real soccer, and succeeds dramatically scoring the winning goal that gives the USA it's first world cup win.

Leo has earned the respect of his teamates his family and his fans, in this heart felt drama about triumph against diversity, and standing the moral high-ground against cheating.

There. Problem solved. Instead of calling ALL soccer players pansies, you single out Materazzi - calling him what he is.

Soccor is merely a cross breed between hockey & Hacky Sack.
it is not, nor will it ever be a true sport in the western hemisphere.

 

[Reckoner]

Soccer sucks anyways.

 

[iwantanewcomputer]

he should have done something disturbing like grab the guy's ass so he woudn't get kicked out. that would do a better job of getting in your opponent's head.

yes, then he'd have a reputation of being gay, instead of being a man and headbutting someone.

Materazzi is indeed a panzy.... but so are countless other soccer players in this years world cup... You need only look through the picture galleries at sports illustrated to find countless examples of panziness...

Why I didn't enjoy the world cup...

I think that the sport of soccer itself is a beautiful art... I think the athletes who play it are some of the most physically gifted athletes in the world. I think the sport is incredibly demanding both in terms of skills, and in terms of endurance.

and then

I go to the front page of cnn.com, and I see the italian player laying face down on the ground whining like a little baby because he got headbutted in the chest. Are you fvcking kidding me? These guys are such drama queens... I feel like I couldn't get through 2 minutes of a match before one of these pansys does a double back flip holding their face or leg or arm and crashing onto the turf crying like a 2 year old girl who just got their barbie confiscated.

It's gotten to the point now where crying is an important and strategic element in soccer matches... WTF?!?! In my mind that concept instantly makes the game unwatchable. The World Soccer league or world cup comittee or someone needs to get their ass in gear and do something to penalize the blatant wussiness now being rewarded in soccer.

Until this crap is taken care of... I think the name debate between Soccer/Football/American Football can be resolved by calling Soccer what it really is...

Panzyball.

What was that move where Mel Gibson thinks like a woman for a few days?

I think his slogan was something like...

Nike, No Games, Just Sport.

Thats right... you don't need a good reason to hit someone... it's always wrong... so if you're gonna kick someone's ass... don't do it in front of 1 billion people.

True but every time Zidane fell he immeditaly would look up at the ref crying for a foul.

which proves the OP's point. all of them are panzy ass drama queens.

Oh, and the NBA is any better?

why you gotta be bringing the NBA into this? 😛
atually, it reminds me of the NBA and players faking a fall to draw an offensive foul.

 

[yuchai]

I don't know if it's been mentioned in the thread, but part of the reason why the players just stay down when taken down is to give his team a break. It's a great chance for the team to rest for a couple minutes and get some water, etc. Germany was extremely hot and in soccer play doesn't stop at all (in theory) for the full 45 miutes for a half if not for some of these breaks.

 

[freegeeks]

don't get me wrong, I like watching soccer but you have to see it as a soap. During the week they are banging some supermodel and in the weekend they play a game where they do some acting
I mean they even admit it during interviews after the match. "We played a good game".

The same for football, if you have the time to snor coke, bang your brains out, get shot by some gang member and this all in the same week and then play a great "game" on sunday then it means what you are doing is a GAME ... seriously

to quote the great Ernest Hemingway

"?Auto racing, bull fighting, and mountain climbing are the only real sports ... all others are games.?

Replace Auto racing by indurance sports and there you have it, words of wisdom

note: we have to forgive Hemingway, he could not have foreseen at his time that autoracers would also become nancyboys protected by umpteenth layers of reinforced carbon fiber

 

[biff 24 2000]

i totally agree with the OP, when i watched the world cup i thought some of these players would be pretty good in pro wrestling. All the acting they do is sad, and it ruins the game.

 

[torpid]

In theory he could have broken the collar bone which does hurt quite a bit, or cracked a rib. I don't think either happened, but at the time it seemed possible. It does not take much to break the collar bone or to crack a rib. It happens in boxing and UFC matches relatively often, and those guys are wearing gloves and the opponent generally is blocking.

no one is supporting Zidane's actions either. thaz all i'm saying.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

We are not talking about some exhibition/charity match somewhere.
This was the god-damn Football World Cup Final and it is the biggest sport in the world...contrary to what somebody above said regarding "it will never be a true sport in the Western Hemisphere" (Ever heard about Argentina or Brazil?)
People die of heart attacks when their team loses...tensions run that high.
So what if he played it up a bit...didn't Rivaldo get a 2-match suspension or something last World Cup for taking a dive? Materazzi will also get a suspension, if the officials think he was completely faking it.

And for the record, a head-butt to the chest can be extremely painful...particularly if you are a professional athlete who gets bruised/pulls muscles all the time...particularly when competing in a major international tournament. Are you telling me no one has ever gone out on the field while not being 100% fit?
