Sorry Dre, you’re wrong. That’s just his status. When people who don’t even follow the sport can identify him with the flop and roll, that’s his legacy.

If a professional foul is when a defender purposely fouls an attacking player, outside the box, to prevent an easy scoring opportunity, then I’m cool with it. As long as it’s not a dangerous play.

Call it what you want family. I’d rather be rich with status rather than broke with a “legacy.”

Double standard. Biased and defensive minded. There are two sides of a coin buddy.

No, it’s not a double standard at all! If there’s a foul, it’s a foul. Don’t try and pretend, and draw a NON -foul. It’s panzy ass pathetic! Lol!

Deliberate foul, outside the box, easy scoring opportunity?
Distance to ball? check.
Defenders? check. (otherwise, not easy)
Direction of play? check.
Distance to goal? offensive half, but outside the box.
What you’ve described is a cardable offense. It’s a red card dogso.
It’s only a professional foul when refs aren’t willing to call it what it is. (the USWNT shirt takedown against Germany is a classic example.)

What is this gibberish?

Likewise, offensive players should flop for the free kick and to keep defenders honest.

Flop is a phantom touch where the player (in Ligue 1 Neymar) falls without even being touched or touched slightly but since they have lost control to a 50:50 proposition it is easier for them to go down than stay up and play on. Think Harden or even better Lebron missing a shot with the defender in his face and eventhough the defender did not touch LeBron he turns to the ref with his pained look grabbing his wrist . Then he throws his arms up in the air like he is been so wrong that the refs could be against him. Dives are cardable but rarely given.
Professional foul is usually near mid line and during a turnover with a quick transition. A defender will grab and arm or jersey or shoulder player down. In most cases the cover defender is still behind the pressure defender but may not be in position to cover. The defender fouls still trying to at least appear to play the ball . Yes he takes a yellow. It is in the laws. Not a red. Rarely will you see a defender do this if they are in a red card position or if they are last defender.
There is a difference difference between stopping a run and sacrificing your aggression and trying to persuade the ref which against could result in a card against a defender.
You seem to forget that the game is already built to give the advantage to the offensive player.

I don't mind the gamesmanship in drawing the foul in any sport, like bball when players lean in on shots, or baseball leaning in the strike zone, or even in pro football when players cry for PI, a hold, or a qb hit to the head. Somebody mentioned this before. Part of the game.
It's the excessive rolling around, grabbing the leg, and antics after the foul is called that are part of it in soccer on the men's side that is boorish. The women act tougher than the men.

A ref told me girls are way tougher and meaner than men in soccer. He also said that's why they have so many dam injuries. Lot;s of them too. I wasnt just the greatest club hopper of of all time pals, but I was also known to be the greatest flopper of all time in the south coast league in basketball. I was #1 with taking the charge

Agree . I get it. I do not like the whining behind it or having a trainer come out. I know coaches who have run sessions on diving . Saw this same coach yell and his keeper to fake injury so he could sub his second keeper out to put in the better keeper and then after the goal sub the other keeper back in because he was it injured.
This is diving that is disgusting. In my opinion this is to a point Neymars mentality.

That gibberish is the definition of “denial of an obvious goal scoring opportunity”, from the laws of the game for soccer. It is against the rules, and results in a red card, or a yellow card and a PK, depending on location.
My dd got yelled at one time because she got up too fast from getting whacked in the box. She was told to roll, grab ankle and find tears for the PK so your team can score. It's called, "selling it."
