team goes down to allow that team to make a substitution, usually by kicking the ball out of play?

I ask because before Messi's penalty one of the Iceland players went down and the Argentine players appeared to be just kind of milling around until their coach started yelling (apparently to advance). So Argentina played against a ten man Iceland squad at least until shortly after Messi's penalty. The coach also left in quite a huff after the game... but since this is probably a national embarrassment for them, I might be wiling to give him a pass on that one.

Sorry for the hijack.
