Was out cold, reportedly taken to hospital and deteriorated into critical condition. Saudi leaders transferred him to Germany by private jet for specialised treatment. I hate the death rolls more than the next bloke, I think they are tactics to milk a free, stop a run and/or waste time. Officials should stamp it out by giving red cards.

Stop focusing on the fact they roll around and you'll realise they are actually being fouled and keeping your feet in those situations is a disadvantage.
Set pieces are valuable and a lot of it is about swinging momentum.

If you did the same thing in AFL, you'd get reported for staging.
Half the time the 'foul' has daylight between players and a stretcher is still required. I don't care how useful it is to your team, i can't stand it and i won't watch it because of it.

I realise its largely a non contact game but the slightest bit of contact and they go down like a bag of spuds, for me its embarrassing.

Kruddler you can whinge about it all you like, and the sport doesn't care if you watch it.
Let's see how Jack ginnivan gets his frees for the rest of his career and revisit shall we?

That means no push and shove unless you're shoulder to shoulder and using your hands to push isn't legal, and you can't hold an opponent. It also means clipping a player, or tackling through a player isn't allowed.
The definition of the foul is your issue.

It is a good thing that the best athlete here don't play soccer.
A professional soccer player in the second tier competitions around most of the prominent European leagues (Spain, France, Germany, england) has more earning power than those in Australia playing afl and will pay in the vicinity of a couple of hundred thousand euros per season to play sport at a professional level. The equivalent of your bog average vfl, sanfl, wafl players in other words can earn 200k Aussie for the privilege. Thing is if you can get into elite comps from there your earning power will get to a million a season just by making it into the top flight in most of the leagues.
There are usually no more than about 10 afl players that earn 1 million a season and that seems to be limited to the cream of the crop for a really short period of time unless you're a buddy franklin.
Most afl players have a career that spans about 5 years. If the players we are talking about are also rans, they're more likely to be under the annual wages for an average AFL player of lets say 450k a season.
At the end of the day, people will play the sport they want to, and not many on an AFL forum are going to appreciate soccer and thats perfectly fine.

The theatrics in soccer are a small part of a much bigger whole. Don't get sucked into focussing on those. It's a beautiful game, harder to play than it looks.

It may be a beautiful game, but it's far far far from pure!
I'll never understand any endeavour, sport, business, politics or law, that rewards scoundrels.
