If there’s one thing we loathe about the modern football more than anything it’s the endemic diving, contact-seeking and “simulation” that currently riddles the game from top to bottom, though sometimes you’ve just got to hold up your hands and offer a polite round of golf applause – especially when it’s as amusingly half-arsed as this next example, yet still somehow manages to con a penalty out of a referee!
We join the action part-way through the recent German sixth tier fixture between SV Böblingen and Göppinger SV, with one of Göppinger’s forwards hurtling into the box with one singular plan of action in mind: to hit the deck, cross his fingers and hope for the best.
The rest, as they say, is astoundingly crap…
What’s German for “Un-be-feckin’-lievable”?
