[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 295798, member: 1045"] Soccer has always penalized flops. If caught, they result in a foul on you and, if bad enough, result in a yellow card that could lead to suspension. In MLS, the league can now also review plays after the game and retroactively suspend or fine players if fouls or flops are bad enough and were not detected during the games. Also, it is certainly not like all soccer players flop. There are a lot tougher soccer players than baseball players to be sure. In general, Americans do it less than most countries as well, which US fans appreciate. The main reason you get all the rolling around in soccer is that the clock doesn't stop, so you can waste time if your team is in the lead. No similar motivation in other sports (well, except some football players that were intentionally flopping in order to slow down the hurry up offenses a few years back). [/QUOTE]
