Gaunson I never faked being injured I was a 5 FT 2 IN (157.5 CM) Keeper and the only time I ever got pulled for injury is when I had severe turf burn that was bleeding from my knee to midway down my shin, I fought the ref and they let me back in as soon as the bleeding was covered (by the bandana I was wearing to hold my hair.

It is like a flop in basketball. The goal is to make the other team get a foul.

They do it because referees consistently fall for it. In fact, if the player tries to stay on their feet after a foul the referee often doesn't give it. Hence, players just go down all the time.
