oh shut up ya' cunt. your just pissed on because italy knocked out united states. every team dove the whole fuckin' cup. you wanna complain about a team, complain about portugal.

How can you seriously compare the 2 penalties or teams. It completly something else, when a defender slides into you while your are running at top speed and when a defender is lying on the ground and the Italian is uncapable of jumping. Open your eyes...!!!

lads, if there is one team you shouldn't bash on because of diving, then it is france. They had a regular goal not given in one match (i think against south corea), which would have changed much in the event. They went on to defeat spain, brasil & portugal in a very impressive manner. .

You should try looking at the penalty in the Italy v Australia match which was legit. Neil slide in front of the player and interfered with the play in the rule book it is known as "Impeding the Progress of an Opponent" and deliberately raised his arm to further obstruct the player. So jackass you shouldn't start judging after watching a couple of clips from the WC. Go to your local park and watch the little kids play and move up from there.

I am not being baised against Italy, but I think the way they played in this world cup was disgraceful. They really opened up the concept of acting in soccer. Yes, it has been seen many times before, but never too this extend. .

I saw a video a couple weeks ago of them having practice and all they working on was falling down and making it believeable.

My best example can be from the Italy vs. Australia game. Australia was in command of the game and about to knock of Italy. With seconds left their forward literally falls in the box to earn the PK.

This Italy team cannot be compared to past winners. I am not being baised against Italy, but I think the way they played in this world cup was disgraceful.

Soccer is and never will be drama performance.

In this time of diving and falling, it is impossible for one referee to see everything. Soccer needs to do something about this wide epidemic b/c it is ruining the wonderful game of soccer.
