They're proud of it. It's a part of the culture. Twenty years ago, Rivaldo faked an injury to his face after being hit in the leg by the ball, causing the Turkish player to be sent off. The Turkish player was simply trying to reduce Rivaldo's time wasting by getting the ball to him in the corner quickly, albeit with a bit too much force. Rivaldo's response:

Yesterday, Rivaldo had admitted to his crime. "My experience counts," said Rivaldo. "I think he deserved to be sent off, but of course he didn't get me in a place where I could be hurt. The ball touched my leg, but the other player was wrong to kick the ball at me. I said sorry to him, but that's football.
