Running into the corner and keeping the ball as long as possible is THE time playing tactic. I FUCKING HATE unsportsmanlike behavior. There is no excuse for bullshit like that.



It's not unsporting it's being clever, the ball is in play and if Uruguay can't deal with the tactic then that's too bad it's part of the game. It's the same as rigid defending only it's in the opponents half.

By that logic, rolling on the floor for non-injuries is totally clever and sportsmanlike too.

It's bullshit and the only thing this shows is the weakness of the team and no respect for the sport.



Except theatrics and simulation is actually cheating while holding onto the ball and defending in open play is not, don't like it tough shit deal with it, it's like people complaining in a game of Streetfighter about zoning.
