Serious question for all those soccer fans out there - why in the hell are they always taking dives and clutching their leg (as if it broke in 5 different places) instead of playing the game and being known for their skills with the ball?

I saw one highlight from the World Cup the other night and one guy went down like a sack of spuds. There wasn't even anyone remotely close to where he was

I know they're different sports, but I'd love to see one of these guys play a full contact sport like NRL or AFL. They wouldn't last two seconds.

It's for this very reason soccer doesn't interest me.
