Soccer Tough: It's A Miracle That Both Yerson Mosquera And Dan Burn Survived Some Of The Most Disgusting Cheap Shots The Sport Has Seen

Who says soccer isn't a physical game? You see that push? Could have killed him! At the minimum could have broken some bones and kept him out of a few matches. Now, I won't blame Yerson Mosquera here, mostly because he's an FC Cincinnati legend. That's a guy who needs to leave the Premier League and come on home to the place of Skyline and goetta. Oh and don't think Dan Burn is safe here either. The video gets funnier as it goes on, especially seeing this: 

I know it's hard for me to defend this. In fact, you can't defend this besides saying it's fucking hilarious. Dumb, but hilarious. The sport has a flopping problem, much like every sport in the world right now outside of hockey. You can't flop in hockey. You can flop in soccer and most likely fool a ref every once in a while. 

I do think Mosquera won the flop here though. You take that slight shove and fly with your arms in the air and brace yourself for the fall to the grass. It's a vet soccer flop that you can't teach. It's only one that you can be born with. Don't get me wrong, Burn has a bad flop but he can at least lie and say the feet got tangled. Plus, he only fell once where we had Mosquera hit the ground twice. 

This is soccer tough. This is the most popular sport in the world that somehow we can't get good at. Time to start embracing the game and taking a dive to get goals when we have to.
