Well, i shouldn't call them pussies too. Some players act that they have many pain, but they haven't. They use it to get faults and that could bring them to get a good scoring chance. In many sports they use tricks to do this. Only you see it often in soccer cause it's one of the biggest sports in the world...
And i have to say, you can get many injuries by stupid idiots on the field. Believe me. I had it too :/
