What’s funny is that my internet connection hasn’t been working well for the past couple of days, so I watched this through in fits and starts until today.

It’s MUCH more offensive when you see it all at once, isn’t it?

Hahaha, I really liked the music.

I kinda agree with Shane about them being replayed. Sometimes they’re pretty funny when they’re done in good taste, but other times people see them and say “soccer/football is for wusses” and criticize the sport because they think that EVERYBODY dives. Or argues at referees too much. I know people at school give me crap about it when they see videos like that, so it’s disappointing.

On the other hand I could watch Rivaldo’s 2002 WC performance over and over.

Shane, I agree with you on the punishment, disagree about banning from replaying on the internet. There’s much more accountability in the YouTube age now that these things can be replayed over and over and over.

Absolute disgrace and should be not only punished but baned from replaying on the internet. If i were a pro in Europe I’d probably lead my team in red cards for stomping fakers when they are on the ground. Gillardino would be the first that i elbow in the jaw.

It was nice to see that many of these actors were getting carded.
