Most annoying bit of footie fuckery

other - acting like they’ve been shot when they barely get touched

- getting pissy when the opposition has the temerity to defend

Card hand.

These are all fine, with the exception of kicking the ball away, imo. Let footballers be hams and heels.

they're all bad when it's ronaldo doing it

you missed the rolling around on the floor clutching a body part (oh ||| mentioned it)

and the shirt pulling always annoys me. i thought they'd cracked down.

and we had a variation on kicking the ball away the other day when a player kicked a second ball onto the field to stop a quick throw in

Standing in front of the ball when someone wants to take a quick freekick - imo you should have carte blanche to leather it straight at them and follow through if necessary.

There some good ones too - I like cupping an ear after scoring a goal away from home.

Cyle Larin knocking the ball away as Xhaka was about to take a free kick, leading to Xhaka kind of kicking him, feigning injury and getting them both a yellow card for arguing about it was the funniest thing to have happened at the World Cup so far. This is unfortunately what peak performance looks like.

En el partido entre Suiza y Canadá, hubo una jugada polémica entre Xhaka y Larin ..

Durante una falta a favor de Suiza, Xhaka quiso sacar rápido y justo cuando iba a patear, Larin le pegó al balón para retrasar la jugada… y se llevó un doloroso puntapié 😨🤷..

other - players from diasporas emblazoning other countries’ flags on your boots when you’ve opted to glory hunt with another country

other - not celebrating when scoring against a former club (go full adebayor imo)

Larin-Xhaka is the highlight of the tournament so far, yes

Petition for more shitheels not less imo

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

other -
1. performatively geeing up the crowd 1 minute 47 seconds into the game.

2. defender celebrates tackle/block like he just scored the winner

Kissing the badge... especially if the badge is Canadian and you're American.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

other - not classing a loss on pens as a loss.

“netherlands haven’t lost in the WC since the 2010 final”. they literally lost today to morocco on pens

Technically a win on pens is recognized as a draw with a team advancing by FIFA.

I'm cool with it because their point is a group stage match would have been over at the 90th minute
