i thought i was the only one who saw that
seems everytime i see him he's fixing his socks then getting up off the ground
He goes to the ground when soldiering on would not have been a great opportunity. Sometimes its better to win a foul or a penalty than stay up and do nothing with the ball. I've seen him keep going after being shoved or intercepted by others plenty of times before. Its bad only if you think that he would have been able to create a dangerous situation (more dangerous than a set piece when you have Kroos, bale and ramos around) had he stayed up. I dont think he does that often at all. Totti, DP and even Pirlo were the best at this kind of thing, always winning a foul when the path seems to be blocked. Some defenders do that too when they are chased by a winger.
He also got two of the opposition players to tackle each other which was hilarious. He deserved a goal imo
