The other issue that people forget is that Torres just came back from Knee Surgery, on his leg that got clipped.
Also, what that GIF left out is that he was not rolling in pain
Can someone explain why Torres is overrated? He's not a useless striker? Or do you hate him for the fact that he plays for Liverpool? Or maybe you don't know a thing about football
Not a dive. Watch it slowly.
His right foot gets bumped by the other guy's knee and ends up clipping his own calf. Try crossing your legs while running full speed and see if you stay standing.
We were doing a decent game so far. Aside of the unlucky exit of our goalkeeper to catch a ball we were in the match until that ref fell for that comedy. Was it a foul? yes, of course. Was it worth a yellow card? Not really but it was made by a chilean player so yeah, it was a yellow card for us. We had at least two games with s**tty refs and they manage to f**k the games for us.They were not as monumentally s**tty refs as the ones on the USA games but they managed to inflict a significant handicap to us. I wouldn't mind if at least they were equal in their foul calling and yellow card distribution was constant. It seems for the same level of foul our team got the cards instead of the other team.
Next we're up against Brasil and possibly another s**tty ref. Brasil has been our nemesis since forever. ..But hey, I have faith and backing up the team 100%. If you want to win a world cup you have to pass over Brasil sooner or later... so might as well be now.
"Not really but it was made by a chilean player so yeah, it was a yellow card for us"
Boo, hoo, we are getting yellow cards the ref must be against us. Are you kidding me? no offence but you were playing quite rough during the entire match and as said before that player didn't get penalised for a hard tacked moments before.
I can't see why anyone can be complaining about Torres going down. It's obvious the Chilean clipped his leg from behind. If you've ever been clipped when running you'll know it doesn't take any force to put you off stride. Even less force when it's the trailing leg.
There is diving in football/soccer but this isn't an example of it.
Its hard to take you serious when you state stupid stuff like "Basketball = Too Hip Hoppy Gangtsa and Bolwing = Snoozerville." Why don't you just stick to Sunday Funday with Grandma and friends...You Non spelling, generalizing clown because you know nothing about sports.

Actually the Chileans knee did hit Torres. Just go back and look at it closely.

I'm Chilean, and I f**king hate this stunt.
The referees are assh**es in this world cup.

There's more falling over in soccer than there is in American football.

Bulls**t, he could have stayed running easily.

It won't catch on in America?
Oh well, not a loss. The rest of the world will continue to enjoy it without you.

Right after Hockey you got pretty lazy, might as well just stop after Hockey. I like how you make up words too to force an asinine argument.

It was clearly unintentional. No yellow.
