Inter Miami’s Facundo Farias Fined By MLS
The Major League Soccer Disciplinary Committee has fined Inter Miami midfielder Facundo Farias an undisclosed amount for an incident that occurred in the Herons’ 1-1 draw at Orlando City.
Apparently, he violated the league’s “simulation-embellishment” policy after getting fouled in the 88th minute of the game.

In the 37th second of the above video, you can see it. He was grabbed by the shirt, which a foul was rightly called by the official on Orlando City.
Then, you see him grab his nose/face and fall to the ground.
Now, the foul was already called and I think it was a good call. However, why would you try to sell it so badly? I mean, c’mon, Facundo… you can do better than that.
Also, who knew MLS actually had a "simulation-embellishment" policy on the books?
Roll on, La Familia, roll on.
