Squeezing of the huevos. Classic man-marking. Here another example but no huevos:

I usually watch the Bundesliga, where very little writhing happens. Switch the channel to La Liga and you notice the people rolling on the floor 5 full revolutions whenever they're tripped.
Chiellini repeatedly grabbing his face early during yesterday's game was hilarious.
Sure, but what I'd never what to see is a lawyer convention like American football where all the judges get together to discuss how what you just saw was wrong. That is worse than "writhing time" and the reason I can't stand to watch the NFL. At least someone rolling on the floor squealing is a more amusing sight.
Yes— though you already answered yourself. Notice here this one, taken what seems like a fraction of a second later.
The Journal examined the first 32 games of the World Cup and calculated both the number of "injuries" each team suffered and how long the player laid on the pitch in pain—what they call "writhing time."
The injury time is judged by the refs, not measured exactly with a stopwatch—there are no stopped clocks. It can vary. The trick is to delay a little over the usual but not so much that they bring a stretcher. A little deviousness goes a long way.
Here's something less infantile, more grownup that biting:
While I get that it's psychologically repugnant to see a grown man bite another, I also find it peculiar that we make a bigger deal out of his behavior than the other myriad fouls committed during free kicks and corner kicks— grabs, elbows, punches, etc.
My favorite ever is not in that picture. My favorite ever is the man in this video. Worth infinite rewatches.
Not Drácula but Chiquidrácula.
It's because you don't have his megachompers. Just like if you were a rhino, you'd charge.
Very well said. Also: your name is awesome ha ha ha.
and right in front of the ref, the dumbfuck!
subbed out dude. this is the world cup. don't need a 10-man team.
Is this from "Stuff White People Like"?
Oh yeah. He was still shit. I ended up switching channels when Mexico started scoring.
The ongoing narration yes, but the commentary not always—it depends. I watch the game in Univisión but switch to ESPN for commentary at halftime and after the match. Ruud van Nilsterooy and Roberto Martínez have been amazing in their analysis of matches. Don't miss out.
Thanks for actually having watched the game!
1 more Mexican goal and Brazil comes in second! If you're watching Bra/Cmr, change channels.
