For a "infamous" instance, you could talk about the recent UEFA champion's league final. Arsenal's lone goal came off of a free kick awarded because of a dive. 70.232.113.196 21:06, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
I think Rivaldo's antics in the 2002 World Cup take the prize though. Jooler 09:43, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed merge with Football diving

I think this is the better title of the two. Amcguinn 12:10, 16 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Generalizing

"Every person involved in football thinks that diving is a harmful element of the game, and many teams have lost games unfairly because of it." That seems like a huge generalization to say that every person thinks so. It would be more appropriate to say "most". --71.225.229.151 01:13, 19 June 2006 (UTC) Can we call it soccor?

[edit] a list

We dont need one. Its only going to start flaming, trolling, spamming, etc. And if we are going to add every single player accused of this, even if it was just once, then it should be over 57 pages long. No lists in the article please 71.254.197.64
