Question for people who think Fabio Grosso dived against Australia?

People keep saying Fabio Grosso dived against Australia. But when I watch the replays carefully in slow motion, it appears clear to me that he was really tripped. Here's what I see:
Fabio Grosso is running in a certain direction. Neill slides down to block Grosso's way. Grosso attempts to leap over Neill - first, Grosso hops with his right foot over Neill, and that's successful. Then Grosso begins to put his left foot over Neill, but as Grosso is doing that Neill raises his left hand and uses it to hook on to Grosso's left ankle. Then Grosso falls as a result of Neill's hooking his ankle. Then Neill puts up his hand, and looks at the Ref as if he didn't do anything.
My question for people accusing Grosso of diving is: are you denying that Neill used his left hand to hook Grosso's left ankle? Because that's clear to me.
