Out of the contact sports that I really play, and you fake that you do, players whine in every sport - about holding, pass interference, being fouled on a shot (which is the worst), and calls over balls and strikes.
Wow, someones got a nerve exposed.
I fake playing? Wow.. someone really really has a nerve exposed.
Yes players complain in every sport, but my experience has been soccer is the worst, they whine constantly about everything. Are all soccer players whiners? Nope, but they definately have the highest percentage of whiners of any of the sports I play.
Interestingly, the image of the soccer hooligan in England has become increasingly obsolete, thanks to the two tragedies that befell English fans: the Heysel Stadium riot in 1985 and the Sheffield Stadium disaster in Hillsborough, England in 1989. These two acts resulted in much tighter soccer stadium crowd control rules in the UK and the mandatory switch to all-seater configurations for stadiums for better crowd control.
lol I live in a small town in North Carolina and on the weekends, there’s always Mexicans played organized soccer on our soccer fields.
