Wondering how poor, stupid Embolo is going to fare this evening. You’d think the rest of his team would be a bit incensed he took a pointless dive while already having a yellow card. Arguably what lost them the game.
#MensWorldCup showing how men’s football just doesn’t quite live up to the women’s. Maybe they should take it seriously instead of flopping around like fish all the time? #WorldCup

@bitprophet@social.coop if people don't start referring to that kind of self-inflicted injury as an Embolism, they're missing out on an amazing opportunity. #worldcup

@bitprophet@social.coop I have never watched high level futobol until the past few weeks. I have enjoyed it ... except for the flopping. The thing about Embolo is that flop was far less blatant than most I have seen this month. Every game has a dozen or more flops that are NOT called. It is rather comical how they roll around like they need to get carted off on a stretcher and then 30 seconds later they are fine and running with world class athletes.
