Kudzu. Imported from Southeast Asia as an ornamental plant and it's running wild over the Southeast US.

Good job not giving any of the relevant details you two. Yeah sure it's kudzu, but particular pic is from the Pearl Jam concert in Miami -03 on the five against one tour where a stray seed got into the crowd and that's the leaked cop photo from the scene 35mins after the outbreak. The fire department was called in directly after for containment / counterfiring.

It's the vine that strangled the south. It grows like loving lightning and has no natural predators down here, so lots of money has to be wasted on keeping it in check. Just remember kudzu whenever you hear about some rich gently caress wanting to bring "exotic" stuff from over seas.

The solution seems simple. Import the predators that it has in Southeast Asia.

I bought a house earlier this year, and I had that poo poo on the back of my yard. It was growing from a marshy wooded area behind my house, up some trees, and over my back fence. My dad and I finally went back with some heavy duty hedge clippers and chopped through it. We found the masses that were coming over the yard and cut it as close to the base as we could and pulled literally hundreds of feet of the stuff down from the trees, but it's only temporary. To kill it, you have to dig up this massive root mass that can weigh hundreds of pounds. It's absurd.

It's not where the gif is from, but around the time of the 2006 World Cup, some guys went around leaving balls full of cement on the street with "Can You Kick It?" written on the ground beside it. A few people got hurt, as you would imagine.

First one is just Torres being Torres.

Busquets (the last one) is probably the worst. Jordi Alba comes second:

If the referees catch it in real time, yeah. I follow the US [and Canada, sorry about that :ohdear:] league (MLS) and here, at least, there's a committee that reviews games after the fact and sometimes hands out suspensions or fines to players for diving/simulation if the refs missed it during the game. I don't watch other leagues so I can't speak on that.

Soccer is so low scoring that if you can get a penalty by faking a foul, you've got a good chance to score the winning/only goal from that penalty. There's pretty big incentive to take a dive.

That and major soccer doesn't allow the ref to consult video replay because of idiot ideas that human error is part of the game of soccer.

FIFA doesn't permit replays during matches but they can can be used for subsequent sanctions after the match has ended.

In the words of Blatter, honcho of FIFA "Let it be as it is and let's leave [football] with errors. The television companies will have the right to say [the referee] was right or wrong, but still the referee makes the decision – a man, not a machine.". And before you ask yes, it's bullcrap but keep in mind that you need to come up with a system that becomes standard basically all over the world since football national leagues are everywhere, teams compete every year in Champions League and Uefa and National teams compete in international leagues every 2-4 years.
