That flamboyant flopping IS machismo in their culture...the Italians, the Brazilians, the Portugese, etc. all those flamboyant cultures all have floppers and apparently that's cool to do.....maybe if we used Coach K from Duke he'd teach our guys how to fall down properly, the Dukies are always diving like a bunch of women.

I was ready for Gooch to beat the shit out of those bastards though! I'm thinking perhaps we need a Vinnie Jones on our team or a Materazzi or Cafu
