I think we discount "fake" injuries a bit too much. If someone bumps into my Achilles at H-E-B, or runs a cart into it, it's a minor inconvenience (any dad that has the kid pushing the cart and run into you from behind knows what I'm talking about.) If I was running full speed (soccer speed, not my full speed), what looks like minor contact can send shocking pain. This week, I watched an attacker essentially fly into the pole at the goal, a goalie get nailed in the face by a knee/thigh/johnson at high speed (the stretcher was brought out and returned,)

I'd buy that...

But you don't see Rugby players or Aussie Footy players constantly laying on the field stopping play like they do in soccer.
