James Rodriguez's embarrassing soccer dive
Colombia faced South Korea Friday in an International Friendly at the Suwon World Cup Stadium, and Bayern Munich superstar James Rodriguez was involved in a bizarre scuffle that led to a spectacularly obvious dive in the second half.
Rodriguez clipped fullback Kim Jin-su as he was jumping to head a ball, and when Rodriguez saw that Kim was still on the ground moments after the referee blew his whistle, Rodriguez proceeded to pull Kim off the pitch by his jersey.

All this in an <em>international friendly</em>!</p> <div class="embed-httpsgfycatcom"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" height="360" width="640" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="https://gfycat.com/ifr/tediousimaginativeconey"/> </div> <p>The referee took no action after warning Ki and Rodriguez, and South Korea went on to win 2-1 thanks to a brace from Son Heung-min.</p> <div id="jwplayer_B45f8sKD_t2dCqACG_div"/> </body></html>
