Have you not been following this European championship? They're dropping like flies in the penalty area, everyone, every single team is doing it. This is an integral part of the game at this point. People are rolling on the ground in anguish after a mere touch only to get up as if nothing happened 2 minutes later (with a slight limp mind you, gotta make it believable because apparently they still think this is 1970 and we don't actually have 50 cameras that cover the pitch at every conceivable angle or instant slow motion playback including the big screens right on the stadiums). I don't know who started it first but it's here to stay and it's a little hypocritical to single out a single team as especially bad.

Edit: Case in point, Torres two seconds ago...
