I was born at night, but it was not last night. You see a player rolling around on the ground in agony and pain, they carry him off on a stretcher, they get him off the field, A MIRACLE HAPPENS, He has fully recovered!! He is back on the sideline waiting to go back into the game. All this happens within minutes. What a joke. Why all the acting??? Play the game. You call that skill?
I never said it was skill... I said that it could be a way to protect yourself.

Diving is one thing, acting is a different story. Somebody said it before... it does not belong to the game, but it happens... Cheating is part of any sport, is part of life, whether we like to recognize it or not. Like I say, the best solution is encourage players to play the ball, try to avoid the boring physical game, develop skill, and of course CHEATING IS WRONG!
cough, cough...maradona hand ball...cough goal..cough, coug.
wow fenomeno maradona cheated how does that make you feel. oh yeah i think he was in a few fights also but people still regard him as good.
same situation with adu.


i think that diving can be compared to a charge in basketball. you set it up to where you are fouled its the referee's discretion weither or not to call it a charge or a blocking foul on you. Usually you'll get the call but sometimes it just doesn't go your way but thats the chance that adu took. the only thing that actually made the situation worse was the past game comments that he made.
