I assume you are talking about the Italians, but it's kind of hard to tell today. -- nm - H-Mogul Jun 20, 17:30 2
- My favourite was when the ref asked the Brazilian player if he had if he had touched the ball with an arm. That might have worked when - H-Mogul Jun 20, 17:36 1
  - Yeah, and replays showed it was a handball twice during that same sequence/play -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jun 20, 18:34
There was a Chilean goalkeeper in the 1990 World Cup who managed to get his team banned from the 1994 World Cup by taking a dive. - Roger More Jun 20, 17:02 13
- ooopps... more - Roger More Jun 20, 17:04 12
  - There's more to it than that. Details here. Seems he broke open a capsule of blood to simulate an injury. -- (link) - Mop Jun 20, 17:10 5
    - Ahh, Rojas.. He actually had a hidden blade on his glove.. And he played in a Brazilian club.. - Marlowe Jun 20, 17:50
    - Ric Flair is in awe. -- nm - Beaker Jun 20, 17:18
    - heh - that's thinking ahead. -- nm - Roger More Jun 20, 17:17
    - Damn, that's hardcore method -- nm - Ron Artest Jun 20, 17:12
    - And video of the incident. -- (link) - Mop Jun 20, 17:11 [youtube]
  - yeah but that isn't going to happen to Italy they are the defending champs -- nm - Karl_S Jun 20, 17:06 1
    - No - this is just a piece of amusing trivia. Also, my bad - it was a WC qualifier, not an actual WC game. - Roger More Jun 20, 17:10
  - wait, so FIFA does review and change the outcomes of World Cup games based on videotapes? - chuckles Jun 20, 17:05 3
    - the game was technically unfinished. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 17:08 1
      - (It was stopped at the 70-minute-ish mark because they thought the player had been assaulted, and Chile refused to return to the field) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 17:08
    - no, they don't change outcomes -- nm - CQ Jun 20, 17:06
I'm hopeful. Greg Louganis hasn't seen this much diving. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 20, 17:01
That would be a bit of an extreme swing in the opposite direction -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 16:55 2
- maybe but then at least you wont get people diving for attention -- nm - Karl_S Jun 20, 16:57 1
  - what's always bothered me, is that some players would rather dive in the box to get a penalty instead of trying to finish. -- nm - CQ Jun 20, 17:00
