Yeah I know soccer players are pussies blah, blah, blah.   But I’ll be damned if I don’t respect this ref.    The dude has more “knocked out cold swag” in his little toe than soccer players have in their entire body.   Like when I first started watching this I was convinced the ref got sucker punched Rudy Tomjanovich style by a player or a fan and was literally out cold.   Nope.  Dude barely even got touched.    I so ain’t even mad at him either.   Flop big or go home.

PS – What is the point of a ref flopping?  Like who is he trying to trick?   You don’t have to sell the call when you can make the call yourself.  Very odd.
