Every time I've seen but just a few minutes of a soccer match there's a dive of one sort or another. The really ridiculous part is when a player is rolling around on the ground, supposedly in agony, gets carried off the field on a stretcher, then just a few minutes later has miraculously recovered and returns to play apparently perfectly fine from what seemed like such a terrible injury that he had to be carried of the field. That sort of thing makes the sport look like a joke.
Interestingly, from what I saw of the Women's World Cup, there was almost no diving at all. That made the women's game far more enjoyable for me.
