Reading the Chelski thread I noticed comments on there about "Divers" So lets find out who!
 
The best ever of course was:
 
Ruud Van Diver (Nistleroy) he went down quicker than a $2 hooker. Diver Supreme who could have represented The Netherlands in the pool at the Olympics.
 
And the rest
 
Arjen Robin, one look and if he saw it, he was down on the ground writhering before you even got near him.
 
Christaino C. Ronaldo, such a wonder talent yet wastes it by following in Ruud's footsteps. Undoes all the good things he can do, such as scoring 30+ goals.
 
Didier Drogba - You look at me one more time and I'll fall over! Another who wastes his goal scoring talents. Probably thinking of Spain.
 
Steven Gerrard - Falls over easily but usually only when he cant score some spectacular long range volley. Not afraid of dishing out a few rough tackles either.
 
Wayne Rooney - He went through a spell, mainly through Ruud's influence, of going down easily but of late it's been because of some hatchet man type tackle. I think Wayne has seen the light and knows his talent can do the talking, not the diving.
 
Rivaldo - Perhaps up there with Van Diver. Getting hit in the hip by a softly kicked ball at a corner and one would have thought he was shot in the head the way he grabbed his face.
 
There are names i don't know on this clip but they are pretty funny. especially at the end as two allegedly headbutt each other! LOL Best Divers Sorry about the music though!
 
Oh and just found this clip, some double ups but the pics are better quality.

Gerrard is a bad diver, and Rooney has done some shockers. Under-rated.

SICK of English biased media / fans saying before they reach major tournaments that they don't dive and every other team does. Luckily I can't see England making any major tournaments in a long while.

one thing i liked about Thierry Henry is if he was fouled in the box and awarded a penalty, he would never take it himself, as he didnt want people to think he was trying to get fouled or a diver.

If you can get away with it though, why not? Especially if your team goes off to win the World Cup.
 
They should Yellow them after the match.

Nani after today, even as a United fan its really annoying to see it. Hopefully it will stop as he gets older as he does have extreme potential.

agreed Willy B , Nani's was a classic it was so pathetic I laughed out loud, how the f**k can a player head butt someone then fall to the ground clutching his head - hardly a bid for the 'hardman of the week' award
