If anyone was following the American coverage of the World Cup, you may have seen quite a bit of criticism of all the flopping that was going on. That's diving to you and I.
The general criticism was that while plenty of Americans fell in love with the beautiful game, they weren't too enamoured with players going to ground too easily. Well, it looks like that influence may have infiltrated one of America's favourite pastimes.
As NBA fans will know, flopping isn't actually anything new. Chris Paul, Dwayne Wade and LeBron James have all been accused of taking a dive now and again. But even at that, you have to think this young man may have had his eye on Fred and Arjen Robben in Brazil.
