I know this is the off-topic board, but not meant I think, for things *this* off-topic. I apologize in advance. Ijust need to let off some steam.
I'm Brazilian. Despite that, I have pretty much stopped watching soccer games in the last few years. I started watching this world cup and, voilá, 4 games after I had a reminder of WHY I stopped watching.
Neymar one of the few players it was a pleasure to watch playing, is out of the cup. With a broken vertebra. Which was made with a knee on the back. On a game the opposing team had pretty much lost. And it was not even considered a foul.
Bleeped. Sorry for the language, but Bleep bleep bleep.
To top it all, I had remarked TWE GAMES AGO that it was strange, the refeeres were not being hard on small fouls, specially those commite without the ball. I don't even mean two players pushing each other with their shoulders. I mean the were ignoring people actually putting their hands on somebody else's back and pusing or pulling they off balance.
I think it is human nature. If you can get away with something, you move up to the next level. And there is the result. Of course, it is just the best players that suffer like that. Why go hard on a hack? He's liable to step on the ball and fall flat on his ass all by himself if given half a chance. But a good player? Kill his ass.
I don't know if I'll even watch the rest of the cup. Frankly, if I want to watch peple kicking each other, I'll go see a tai-kwen-do match. At least they won't be pretendig to do something else.
Take care
