These guys are highly paid professionals.
They know what to do, and when to do it.
Not a single attacking player from any country goes into a game thinking
"There's no way I will ever take a dive if a defender makes contact in the box"
It's how the game is played.

I have to disagree. I've watched Dempsey for years and he gets a C- in diving in my book. Jones gets a strong B+ . Robben gets an A+++. He's built like a tank but falls over like Iverson getting hit by Shaq.
