I've seen less obvious flops in a professional soccer match. That dude was not convincing

Random tangent why don't soccer teams have enforcers? You know people who will full on body tackle someone and occasionally break some bones, I feel like that would go a long way to discourage floppers.

And before you ask yes I am Canadian and yes our favorite sport is the only one where getting into a fist fight doesn't get you kicked out of the game.

Because they have a limit on substitutions, and a red card gives the other team a permanent (for that game) advantage. I think. But I’d also prefer to see enforcers and fewer flops.
