I agree...it's amazing the way soccer players stay on the ground, at every level of the game. It's a major turnoff for me and keeps me from having too much interest in soccer. I always end up yelling at the TV for the guy to get up and show some toughness. It even detracts from real injuries in soccer because you never know the difference and always just assume they're faking it. It's a terrible practice and shows complete lack of manhood.

Its not a pussified sport there are just some unfair players (Italy) who would do anything to win (Italian players)
You forgot to add "Or dive as if they were jumping off a diving board" in case you dont know who im talking about its Grosso (Italy)
As you can see I havent gotten over the Italy Vs Australia match and i dont think i ever will.....

This is the only issue in soccer that FIFA needs to address well. Let players win matches with brilliance not with play acting. That are soccer players not actors. I am sure no soccer fan will like a player going down to gain advantage. We are all fans of soccer players but not actors.

Never watched english Premier League, right?
At the WC, players often fake because they know that only two yellow cards are needed for one game off... That's not that much, so they kind of try to provoke it.

Because fifa lets such things happen, and Blatter doesn't mind as long as he gets that extra money in his bag

It's not pussified, you've just been watching the wrong games.
