You can tell the NBA stars have been taking notes from European soccer players
NFL has flopping for at least the last 5+ years as well, it's sad.KCup17 said:

I think we all accept accentuating contact that occurs to make the ref aware of it. What I hate is simulation (no foul actually occurred) and acting like you are dying. Some times players incorrectly accused of flopping, and I think its just because the people saying it's flopping haven't had played soccer at a higher level. (basically past elementary school).
This is not an insult either, I just mean you'd be surprised how much it hurts to basically be sent to the ground while you are sprinting. Which makes it hilarious when players flop, and then hurt themselves doing it.
Or, what it feels like to get your ankles/shins kicked with force. It's also extremely easy to be knocked off balance, or knocked down, if someone bumps into you at the right moment. That's part of the reason why some players are much better at gaining and keeping control of the ball, they have excellent balance and ability to adjust to challenges.
OH man, I dont know about this PK.
A PK and a card for that? Handing is a screwed up mess.
Another saved PK!
ball dont lie
How often do we see 2 saved PK's in a game?
Man, refs have really been letting stuff go for most of these games so far...which I appreciate. Some of these guys are taking rugby-level hits, no card.
Usually you can tell the difference between flopping and accentuating the contact to get the ref to call the foul.
I was referring to multiple instances in the Ukraine game where a Ukrainian was minimally touched either during a challenge or after a challenge would hit the ground and roll around for a good 10-15 seconds

Pretty cool gestures by Belgium. Cheering hard for Denmark for the rest of the tournament
The Danes strike first.
Wow. That is a huge goal for the Danes. Emotionally and in the group.
WOW.
DENMARK SCORE!!!!
Absolute Scenes

Goal in the second minute, awesome.
The Belgian defense is a hot mess right now.
Very cool stoppage.
Belgium without KDB is just average.
I mean they thrashed Russia in their first match without KDB
Belgium was ordinary in first half. I remember zero dangerous chances from them. Denmark pressed from whistle and Belgium had no answer.
KDB. wow.
KDB on, ball in net shortly after.
That pass wasn't intended for Eden's brother, but nice goal nonetheless.
Solid call there. He knew he was simulating.
yellow for simulation. Love to see it.
KDB hjoly moly
Stunning goal.
KDB 2
Eriksen 1
Eriksen 1
KDB is unreal.
He walloped that
Danes have had some good half chances here. I really hope they level and get a point here.
Jeez. So close there.
DAMN, that was almost the equalizer
Damn, Denmark is really putting it to Belgium right now
