When I first started watching soccer the aspect that bothered me (still bothers me) is the fake or overly dramatic falls players love to take, only to bounce back up miraculously once the whistle blows. It’s especially hard for us American football lovers who are accustomed to watching wide receivers making shoestring grabs while two defenders drag him down by the facemask.

Those of you who watched the Brazil-Ivory Coast match saw faking-the-injury on soccer’s biggest stage. If you missed it, catch the clip here.

The soccer world – especially the American soccer crowd – hates crap like this, too. Seattle’s coach has gone so far to ask his players not to pull stunts, which quite frankly has made getting into soccer in Seattle all the easier.
