Experienced for the first time the FIFA World Cup of Soccer. Manny is big into soccer, especially since he played it in his younger days. As for me, have never watched it or been a fan. However, after viewing several 2022 World Cup games, it's clear the players should not be winning matches but instead be awarded Oscars for their acting!
Could not believe the sheer number of "injuries" on the field, be they accidental, intentional, or self-inflicted. These guys were jumping into each opposing player then falling to the ground, holding back tears as they gripped their legs, arms, or faces. They looked pitifully toward the referees with cries of penalty, faces contorted with pain. Replay is shown and it was obvious no physical contact was made. Miracuously, the player is healed, bounces up, dries his tears, and returns to the game.
These injuries were not one-time events. These choreographed scenes were repeated over and over in all the games by all the players. They had their fake injury moves down to a science! Manny said this behavior is par for the course for soccer games.
Soccer games still aren't my cup of tea but they are definitely entertaining!
