Not only are they so shameless to admit it frankly - they sometimes even boast with it. :down:

Tonight you will get the opportunity to see one of the biggest con men to disgrace a world footballing stage...Ronaldo :know:

I wonder if he's going to cry again. On the other hand, when Ronaldo cries we usually laugh. At least i do. I like Portugal's team but i can't say the same thing for Ronaldo's acting.

Ever since I first saw that guy's face I've wanted to punch it. There's something really irritating about him.

Drogba is not better if we speak about divings and provocations :yeah:. If you will watch closely to other players you will see that many act like that, its apart of the game :woot:. I am not a Ronaldo fan but i think i start to understand what really stands behind this type of criticism towards him. He is good and some people can`t take it :yep:.

That' indeed a problem. Actually I can understand Neuer. If he had admitted that the ball was behind the line and England would have won the match because of it he would have been keelhauled by his team mates, the fans and the press. I bet there was a lot of pressure on him at that moment. Being fair and risk to get send home, or act as if nothing happened and keep the upper hand? It's easy for us to judge now but what would you do in that situation with so much at stake? Your decision doesn't only affect you but your entire team. Your decision might destroy the dream of an entire nation. And always remember: No good deed goes unpunished.;)
That's why I'm for video evidence. It makes sure that no one gets pushed into a situation were he has to make such decisions.

Neuer knew, he said, that the ball was behind then line. And he afterwards boasted with it. He did not just do it silently and remained silent about it. I saw that interview on TV where he said it. It made me immediately think "Idiot!".
;)

:haha:

He's doing his part, OLC, that's all.

Hey, take it easy. I never said he isn't a very good player. I'm just saying that occasionally he acts a little bit funny and that's it.;)

There is a say that goes like this:

"Rugby is a villain's sport, played by getlemen. Soccer is a gentlemen's sport, played by villains" :D

You know it's been a sh!t World Cup campaign when, two weeks into the tournament, you find yourself sat in front of the TV cheering on the English referee and linesmen :doh:

Paraguay v Japan.

Terrible.

Going to penalty kicks! First one of the competition!

Octopus Paul-the-oracle has spoken again. After weighing the duel between Argentinia and Germany for over one hour, his verdict was that Germany will win. The one-hour-delay is interpreted as that it will become a long match with overtime and maybe penalty shootout.

During this tournament, all his predictions have been correct. :) During the last tournament, over 80% of his predictions were correct. :DL And btw, Paul is an Englishman, no German. :D

I didn`t mean to attack you personally with this reply. I agree that he is an artist, but the fact that he have many haters just for that manner is not fair in my opinion. He is not number one diver but "take the cake":D

What do the tea leaves in the bottom of the cup say? :DL
