People are attacking football! The culprit is comedian Ciro Immobile, what did he do?

Italy has done it. They won 2:1 against a strong Belgium and can look forward to the semi-finals of the Euros against Spain! However, there is one big black mark on their progress. Beloved striker Ciro Immobile was caught apparently simulating in the penalty area and faces overwhelming criticism.

A hero for the Italians, an actress and a simulacrum for Belgium and other sports fans. That’s the calling card Ciro Immobile earned in the quarter-finals.

The Lazio Rome striker was “writhing in pain” in the opponents’ penalty area. After his teammate Barella scored, he miraculously came back to life!

The result is a viral video that has gone viral on social media and has been seen by over 10 million sports fans in less than a day. The comedy performed by the 31-year-old striker is being pondered by many commentators.

“This is why we don’t play Soccer in America, ” commented an American commentator.

“This should be an automatic red card,” was one of the most lauded comments.

It should be noted that Belgium earned its only goal after a highly controversial penalty.

The fast youngster Doku was floating in the air after a duel with an Italian defender, and it paid off for the referee. He pointed to the penalty spot and Romelu Lukaku reduced it to 1:2 just before half-time.

the 19-year-old youngster Jérémy Doku may be out of the tournament with Belgium, but he has attracted a lot of attention. According to analytics company Stats Perform, he made the most successful dribbles (8) of any teenager in the history of football (since 1966) in the match against Italy.
