The Argentinians, Brazilians, Chileans.it's like it's in their blood to be diving all the time for penalties, free kicks. etc. They see nothing wrong with it, it's "part of the game." Disgusting really.
Of course many Europeans do that too - the Italians and Greeks and Portuguese prime examples - but then in others it is much less common, you don't see the Germans or the English doing it much (with exceptions like Sterling and the Man-City like).
In Japan it would never happen either.
Is it reflective of a wider cultural mentality?
