This Is Why Soccer Is Lame

I personally wish American's would embrace soccer a bit more. It is the most popular sport in the world for a reason, even if it is low scoring and dull at times. However, too often you see someone get slide tackled, fall down, act like someone just amputated their leg, get taken to the sideline on a stretcher, then immediately reenter the game when a yellow card is or is not given. This following video might be the worst fake injury I've ever seen:

It looks like they were faking it. Meh.

I'll take Joe Theisman's injury over that anyday of the week.

Yes, obviously they were faking the injuries. I think their heads may have lightly brushed each other, and they were acting like they both have serious concussions just to see if they can convince the referee to give them some sort of advantage. Ugh.
