France defender Lucas Hernandez admitted he exaggerated contact when he was fouled during a 2-1 victory against Australia.
The left-back, 22, frustrated many Socceroos fans on Saturday as he went down easily on several occasions throughout the match.
But Hernandez said it was "part of the show", adding he does it to wind down the clock when the game is on the line.
"You saw it yesterday, it's true that there were some moments where it was a foul and I amplified a bit," he said.
"That's part of the show, part of the game. It's true that sometimes I exaggerate a bit but it's part of my character.
"I am used to doing that, especially when we are leading. The team and I can win, save some precious seconds."
Hernandez's direct opponent was Mathew Leckie, but the Australian winger, 27, was unimpressed by the Frenchman's game management tactics.
"It's disappointing for the game, that's the type of controversy that upsets people about football," he said.
"It doesn't help when my opponent, the left defender [Hernandez], was falling over and playing a lot of diving.
"It was frustrating, he was literally falling over without any contact and the referee was giving free-kicks."

Bad sportsmanship it's not a 'show' it's a game of sport. He should have been sent off.

Video Assistant Referee VAR was wrong and new technology should not be tested in World Cup games. We flagged at the end but we were definitely robbed. No wonder they flagged.

all sport is so fast now they shouldnt depend on one man calling the shots...
using videos ref can definitely upset the flow of the game...same with tennis...

No - they were too predictable.
Every time they got a breakaway and took the ball to the other end of the field to attack
at least 3 other Aussie players should have been running like
Olympic sprinters to help out the attacker -
but no they would keep their mid field positions.
The coach should be sacked.

Timmy Cahill coming in in round 3.... a draw is better than a loss...
I got the impression they had a lot of nerves they need to toughen up...
