I still can't believe that Gilardino and Dida dives were both in the same match
Some of those dives are just ridiculous, that one with the keeper especially.

So many classics in that. I was watching an Italian league game a few weeks ago and it was just embarrassing watching it - so many players taking stumbles because someone took the ball from them - and it never worked. If they just got on with it I'm convinced they would win a lot more ball.

*steals the ball*
*starts running up the court*
*misses a wide open uncontested layup*
*falls down and starts grabbing on ankle*
*magically better for the next possession*

The prize, WITHOUT A DOUBT, goes to Chilean goalkeeper Roberto Rojas.
They were playing a crucial World Cup qualifier against Brazil, and were losing 1-0, which meant they'd be eliminated. Someone throws a firework from the stands, and the Chilean goalkeeper collapses to the ground. He is carried off the field, his head bleeding profusely. Chile refused to play the rest of the game for fear of their safety.
It turns out that the firework didn't really come that close to hitting him, and he took the opportunity to collapse in the hopes of saving his team from elimination. Craziest part is that he cut himself with a razor blade hidden in his glove to produce the blood. Chile was banned from the next World Cup and he was banned for life.
:30 is when he acts like he's hit, 3:56 is when they're carrying his bloody body off the field.
Top that.

In order to not look like you just F'd up or to get the sympathy of the refs and fans. Perice is still the worst, but with Lebron is a close second IMO, but soccer is on another level, its almost like its part of the game.

Faking an injury in soccer can be a brilliant strategic move. Take Rivaldo getting hit in the knee and then clutching his face. The ref looks over, sees Rivaldo writhing in pain, assumes he was hit in the grill and gives the Turkish guy a straight red. If Rivaldo had been a man and just kept it movin there is no way the Turk gets a red. The refs aren't allowed to use replay, and they often get caught with their backs to the action since the field is so huge, so sometimes all they have to go by is the reaction of the player.
