Difficult to say.

I don't think they always fake the fact that they have been injured. They just fake the level to which they have really been hurt!

:twisted: :shock: yea i suppose your right. this guy transfered from football to my rugby team and after he got injured in a match we were walking home and we saw his girlfriend, then he acted perfectly fine and his limp had stopped. :shock: :twisted:

Remember the Brazilian chap at the last world cup who went down clutching his face, after being struck by a ball in his belly. They do fake injury to try and win penalties and free kicks. Its funny watching them roll around on the ground, and then get up when a free kicks awarded.
