100% correct. Whenever you slide with both cleets up...that's a flagrant foul.
but don't try and explain it to him 4ever, soccer haters will remain Jim Rome wannabe soccer haters. They would much rather see men stand in the outfield popping HGH and overpayed basketball players who lack basic fundamentals and football....
now football I can't disagree. I love that sport. unfortunately there's not a world tournament since only the US plays football (i know NFL Europe but those are mostly americans as well). All I can say about football is it's 5 seconds of action with a 35 second break in between.
