I have seen far more gruesome injuries in soccer than anything else other than boxing.

In just one uefa game a couple weeks ago, one player was responsible for dislocating another player's shoulder and a concussion on another player.

Last world cup, a player had a fractured back, there was a broken nose, a variety of other limb injuries.

Flopping and diving/faking is a problem. In almost every sport.
