Soccer - I was browsing youtube today and I came up to this video on this crazy cheat, and even crazier PK call by the referee.  And I was thinking, perhaps this is one of the main reasons this beautiful sport will never be recognized in US becasue of some of these acts are not so beautiful!

Here is the video

US could be a big soccer market. Trust me I know first hand owning a soccer store. Here in US there are more registered soccer players than England and Germany combined. However because much attention is given to US top three sports, soccer is falling behind and cheating acts like this don’t help either.

I think FIFA needs to step in and punish both the players and the referees severely for these bad plays and calls. And I am not only talking about short time suspension, I am talking about long term suspension even big financial fines!
