I understand that some people enjoy watching Ronaldo fall to the ground clutching his knee and acting like the fella from Purtugal took a swing at him with a Baseball bat (sorry Cricket stick) but in the US we call that cheating and poor sportsmanship.

Please... I've watched soccer in England when your team does it it's accepted but when the other team does it it's cheating.

I don't mind soccer, I was in Bath for the final game in the 2004(?) Euro-Cup and watched Liverpool make a comeback on AC Milan and that was riveting... but 99% of all soccer is slow paced jogging with the theatrical elements of flopping thrown in.

I want to see an Oscar category for "Best Preformance in Faking and Injury" odds on favorites would be soccer players with all the European NBA players coming in at a close second.

Here's a great idea: Let it go everybody. It's a fun game to play amongst friends. This thread isn't about the merits of football vs. futbol. It's about Fantasy Football and let's leave it at that.

Yeah....you go ahead and keep thinking that. Don't try to get the last word in on me. I'm kinda like Mel Brooks in Dracula Dead and Loving it.

Such an emotive subject! I don't need the last word, you are very welcome to it. Go for it!

Oh come on! I'll grant you that we were off topic but we were being civil... that comes from the fact that VEE is British and I am a former Subject of The Crown myself.
