I can’t stand the flopping and pounding the ground. If the ref calls a foul then just get up, take the free kick and continue play. My family went to a NM United game for my birthday in Albuquerque over the 4th and that was a lot of fun! Almost 15,000 people in attendance for a semipro game. When they got fouled and the ref blew his whistle they just got right up and continued play like they should. That’s how I taught my son and girls to play.

The flopping probably comes from European influence. It’s a way for them to slow the game down and try to get an advantage over the other team. It’s ridiculous the way they act though. If they go down and the ref sees a foul he will call it. Just get up and play.

They have taken measures to minimize flopping in MLS with rules such as the off field treatment rule. Other leagues not so much.
