[QUOTE="unimaroon, post: 1219089, member: 9986"] I have only been following futbol for about two years, formerly a USMNT occasional fan as you describe yourself. The more I watch, the less inclined I am to think the acting is significantly over played. Running full out and getting kicked in the knee, having your foot stepped on, or being thrown off balance has momentarily dropped me when playing basketball and softball back in the day. Watching up close slow motion replays every weekend during the EPL season I see a lot more of the actual contact. In a way, it reminds me of stubbing your toe, a few moments of real pain, some hopping around, and then gingerly going about your business. Not NFL hits of course, more like MLB collisions, but sharp hits with no protection or possible prepping. There is more to it than it may appear, imo. [/QUOTE]
