Brazil emerges as World Cup team with highest number of fake injuries
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Brazilians emerged as the top scorers in this year's World Cup, but for a different reason. In the 32 games the paper has studied, it has observed that there were 302 players who, at one point, went down in apparent pain, or ball up in a fetal position or lie down on the ground lifeless. Due to these dramatic episodes, it has cost the tournament a total of 132 minutes of game clock. But after sorting through those that were legitimate falls, the numbers are still significant at 293 cases at 118 minutes and 21 seconds.
