Brazil Has Faked The Most Injuries At The 2014 World Cup
Taking a dive or faking an injury isn’t something unique to soccer. There are phantom high sticks and elbows in hockey and basketball, NFL players who fake cramps and just this week Matt Carpenter got away with pretending he was hit by a pitch. But soccer is the sport most notorious for players writhing in pain, and this year’s World Cup has done little to erase that reputation. According to one report, no team at the tournament has faked more such injuries than the home nation, Brazil.

And anyone who tries pulling that crap in the Big Leagues will get hammered twice as hard on their next shift, and they know it.

In soccer, most of the time there's just no call or consequence for diving, so it continues. A lot. When the refs want to get serious and start throwing out players for deliberate acting, then this silliness will stop.
