Why is the other team allowing that? Where is the tackle, pressing and etc?

[wale1974]

So nobody fit tackle?

[charlie]

This is the kind of thing that can wound a footballer for life.

Maybe in South Africa they let you get away with this kind of showboating, but in Nigeria, you can lose a leg for doing this.
I've seen it happen.

[oloye]

I blame the other team running around like goats looking for pasture. There were couple of 50-50 opportunities there calling for operation sweep that would have restored sanity back into the game

[Tobi17]

Try this in the glorious days of the Oloye and Bright Omokaro era, good luck telling the tale many years down memory lane with a smile of relish on your face...

Now we know why south Africa has rapidly declined in international football. Seem like apartheid Africa produced more footballers while free south Africa produces Harlem globe trotters

Tell them wasu. If an opposing defender tackles hard and roughly he would become public enemy numner 1. Lets notmbe fooled by Europe football is entertainment and not just scoring goals. There is a reason why Ronaldinho is a god and gets invited to almost every testimonial. He does shoeshine football

What are the defenders doing on the pitch? They should join the crowd.

[YemiBrazil]

These South Africans are having a blast - dance scene after a match. Real entertainment.

Abi o ...I saw one defender running around in circles like a headless chicken allowing himself to be turned inside out. There was a 50-50,he did not even make a tackle....you might as well play 11 midfielders and attackers or better still just play 11 freestylers.

Football is entertainment, love it

A South African referee gave a player a yellow card, ostensibly for excessive showboating. At least, that is what the analysts in the clip think. Personally, I have no idea why the referee gave the card, as I do not see any infraction of FIFA, CAF or SAFA laws.

Anyway, I am posting the video here so "barbwire" Oloye can let us know what he would have done to the player in the clip.

Its a deserved yellow card.
Sports are also about respect. Respect your opponent, respect the game.
When you start messing around, showboating, dancing and trying to purposefully disgrace your opponent, then you are disrespecting the game as well. If you want to dance, do it once the game is over.

Ref did the right thing.

Is this part of football rules or just your opinion?

If there was a rule against disgracing your opponent, Nigeria (7-1 vs Burkina Faso) and Germany (7-1 vs Brazil) would have been banned two years each for scoring unnecessary goals and disgracing the opponent. And Okocha's career would have been blighted with red cards and long suspensions.

PS: You know, the defending team in the clip I posted is Platinum Stars, same as with the thread-opening clip. It is either the team doesn't believe in defending, or they are the football equivalent of that team created and hired to play the Harlem Globetrotters.

Shebi the ball dey there....kick the bloody ball away and don't stand there watching...kick the ball so hard and see what he would be kneeling on. Or better still slide in take the ball away but let your studs leave reminder on his knees. The important thing here is that the ball is there exposed and unprotected...as a defender my job is to get the ball not to be entertained

I cant believe I even need to explain why this kind of behavior is not tolerated.

Its good sports ethics as any person who has been properly coached will tell you.
In many sports, they have specifically created rules to stop this kind of behavior (Unsportsman like conduct in the NFL or Tennis, Taunting in Basketball).

FIFA also gives the referee leeway to punish what they call "Unsporting behavior":

The referee has considerable discretion in applying the Laws; in particular, the offence of "unsporting behavior" may be used to deal with most events that violate the spirit of the game, even if they are not listed as specific offences

Its also basic common sense and basic self preservation. Showing up your opponent is essentially gagging for retaliation, sometimes of the most brutal kind.
