You guys do not seem to understand. I am not complaining about the card. I am laughing at the obvious acting job aka flop/dive by the German player after he was brushed in the face by the Portugeuse player.
People all over GAF interpreted it the same way. The commentator on the International broadcast even called it playacting.

Oh I see.

It's because the referee's decisions in football have a much bigger impact on the game than in other sports.

Yes, that and you can tell the players pretend to be injured a lot. This happens a lot in basketball too. People also complain about basketball here in the US for the same reason. Though in Basketball, the refs mistakes do not as often affect the outcome of the game because there is a lot more scoring.
