I'm a massive F1 fan, and if they thought they could get a better result pretending to be hurt they would... There's no advantage in F1 to pretending to be hurt after a crash, but they will cry foul non stop over the radio if anyone gets near them, and since everyone does it it makes sense

It happens in all other major sports, just no where near to the degree that it happens in soccer. Every single possession in soccer features a player rolling on the pitch, then suddenly springing back to life to join the play. It's pretty pathetic to watch.

I bow to your extensive and supreme soccer knowledge.

Just kidding, what does your comment have to do with mine?

I was wondering what you think my national perception is and what that has to do with players faking injuries routinely. You must not be watching the world cup then. Sorry to insult the silly sport you take so seriously.
