Soccer stops after goals for people to dance around, mug for photos, put the ball under their shirt and suck their thumb, taunt the opposing supporters, etc.

Soccer stops after fouls for people to roll around and act like they have a compound hip fracture, and for the teammates to surround the ref and scream at him.

I'm not opposed to these things except the ref-crowding.

It's also a nice coincidence that these happen to be prime situations for a video official to check things.

The offsides hair splitting and angel pinhead dancing done in PL VAR is ridiculous though.
