Quick-witted, clever and crafty kid - very, very possible. At regionals this year I saw a boy on a Texas U17 team fake getting kicked in the face. There was a foul in the box both players went to the ground pulling shirts etc... The referee called a foul (it could have gone either way). As the defensive player got up and stepped over him the boy on the ground grab his face and started yelling/screaming. The referee did not call anything, but he sure did sell his act to the linesman. After a discussion between linesman and referee a straight red card was issued to the defensive player. So good acting could have been done in Aiken.
