I played soccer over 10 years and stopped in University. I still don't mind saying that people who stereotype the sport with terms like "soft", "Divers", etc are right.

These guys are like a bunch of girls rolling around in "pain", yet are fine within 10 seconds. First thing they all do is look for the ref when they get knocked down.

What a fresh take.
