TBH, I didn't know you could get kicked out of a soccer game for flopping. And, how do they tell the difference between real flopping and every single other play in soccer?

He didn't get kicked out for flopping. He got a yellow card for flopping.

He got kicked out because two yellows become a red card, and he had a previous yellow card.

Once you get a red, then you're kicked out.

So he got kicked out, but not directly due to the flop.

Others are baffled, as well, Chapo.

You may be joking, but it sure looks almost intentional.

It looked intentional in real time to me.

I guess he could have just choked though.

Yeah I just think he over thought it.

I told you guys Sorloth just isn't a good player, he probably wasn't confident he could make the pass accurately without it being stolen so he just kept it.

I'm probably the only one who thinks this way, but when I hear the crown chanting in unison during the game, I can't help but think of this scene from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, (one of my favorite movies, by the way, Top TEN!)

The end of that movie scared the piss out of me when I was a kid. I know the message was supposed to be how kind the aliens were, but little me wasn't having it.

Sucks for England to choke that away.


England really doesn't have a good track record on American soil.
