Well, while there certainly are a lot of dives, it's no different than selling a foul like in Hockey. And remember if the ref thinks it was a real dive he can give a yellow for the insult.
A lot of time they simply stay down to eat the clock, get some rest etc...
Portugal is especially bad at using dives to kill the other teams momentum. The past few games it was like if their opponents had any offence building you'd see a Portugal player on the ground not a few moments later
Some good matches this last round...My money's on France
