No one likes a flopper — it’s one of the few things on which all football fans can agree.
You might begrudgingly appreciate when a flopper earns your team a penalty kick or understand that the nature of the high-stakes game encourages players to do whatever it takes to gain an advantage, but no one actually likes a flopper.
So when we recently discovered something called the Floppotron, we were intrigued.
On one hand, you have to give Hekuran Kryeziu credit; he single-handedly earned his team a win on Thursday. On the other, his despicable Europa League flop should probably earn him more hatred than anything else he’ll do in his entire career.
FC Zürich held on to defeat Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 in a top-of-the-table clash in Group A of the Europa League on Thursday at Letzigrund Stadion in Switzerland. That the Swiss club was able to beat the German side came down to one moment in the 94th minute, which will distract from the club’s rally from being down 2-1 in the second half.
