soccer diving

I was watching a bit of pro soccer today (not that I do this often) and noticed that a major part of the game is faking injuries.  They call it diving and they do it to get penalty kicks.  It’s really obvious to watch, and often pretty funny.

No 14-year-old boy should have a $120 shirt unless he's on stage with his 4 brothers

A bit of trivia for those who are non-sports fans like myself. Official jerseys are really expensive. A guy at work was telling me that his team’s jersey is on sale for $60, but is usually $120. An official one just like the players wear is $250.
