Many people watching soccer (especially World Cup soccer) have long believed that the soccer players fall down and “act” to draw penalties on the opposing players.
“I just went to a beginning acting class and a soccer game broke out” was posted on Twitter by Christmas Longman on June 21, 2010. “Went to a drama class and a soccer game broke out. #snore #soccer #fact #usa” was posted on Twitter by Rich White on August 1, 2013. “I went to an acting class and a soccer game broke out. #worldcup” was posted on Twitter by Bill Norton on June 13, 2014. “Went to an acting class, and a soccer game broke out #worldcup” was posted on Twitter by Dr Sleuths on November 23, 2022.
“I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out” is the classic form of the joke.

I’m watching some sort of Italian play. It’s clearly supposed to be a violent tragedy. A soccer game broke out, and the acting is poor.

@AngryJoeShow I went to a drama club and a soccer game broke out. Yes I know it is football but this is ‘Murica!
