Sure it's a foul and yes it should've been a red card, but he acted like he got hit with a damn TOW missle.

Practice. Everytime two soccer players touch each other, they flop to the ground and pretend to be injured.

"Practice. Everytime two soccer players touch each other, they flop to the ground and pretend to be injured."

I have to admit I drew my share of penalty shots this way.

I have to agree that there looks like a bit of embellishment even if it was an unexpected shot. Just looking at the dynamics of the two bodies lead me to believe that.

And yes I have been head butted in the chest - twice. It hurts like hell (sprained my upper back) and stuns your whole body and is a pretty good way of staggering someone. I fell once, backward, but my knees crumbled well before before my back hit the floor. And not before I was able to dig a few fingernails across the side of the guy's face on my way down.
