Honestly... I’ve been trying to get my American family into soccer and this is why they get drawn away. This a pathetic showing of cowardice, and I can’t blame to them for straying away from this “sport” for a more stoic endeavor like football. I wish these pathetic soft-skinned losers would grow a pair of balls and start acting like men instead of children. Nobody with any sense of rationalism can look at this and consider it okay. I love the world of soccer, but the concept of flopping goes against any sense of pride, honor, or forbearance that I have been taught to value. I do not understand how these players, with most of their ancestors being brave soldiers (on both sides) in the 2 world wars the decimated Europe, can act in such a timorous manor. Where has honor gone? To sacrifice one’s veneration for a free kick is to what end? How can they look at themselves in the mirror afterwards? Perhaps this “sport” needs a massive penalty for such cowardice (see WW1 tactics for cowardice) to build back the integrity of the game.

So in this analysis is Werner Hilter? Tried to come and conquer Britain but ended up destroying his career (guess we will wait to see how his story ends)

Not to to defend Michael Owen's integrity, but at least he's too self-absorbed and incapable of abstract thought to serve as a useful ambassador for a European super league on the grounds that it promotes diversity.

It's an exercise in corporate word salad. Don't put forward any kind of opinion that can be argued with, mention some key words like diversity (doesn't have to make sense, just ticking off a list here) and be broadly positive towards some "good" thing you are trying to push without any kind of antagonism. It is literally trash but it won't cause controversy and will look good to the corporate hierarchy.
