Honestly it has half the frequency of diving basketball does. People talk about diving in soccer all the time but there is more stopping for injuries in football than dives in soccer. I think that a lot of people underrate how fast soccer players are moving and how much seemingly small hits can hurt. When you're moving 20mph while not braced for contact at all because you're doing fine motor stuff small hits can be really painful. For me personally Soccer hurts way more than I expected. Certainly more than basketball or baseball.

Also players overreact to legitimate fouls to make sure they get called.

Not to say that you're wrong for not enjoying it. Since the pandemic I've basically stopped watching sports. I couldn't do more than an hour of redzone or a half of soccer.
