Australia Vs Brazil <spoilers>

[Black XR6]

Sure, all sports have players that dive. Its just far, far more obvious in soccer. It really is turning the game into a bit of a joke. Plenty of skill and a great spectacle, but I cant watch it long term due to all this sort of thing.

Its the same as half the free kicks. A player will run through and if the defender even bumps him a little suddenly his legs stop running and down he goes.

Not entertaining to watch this behaviour in my opinion.

His tantrums are quite funny. I loved it in the game against Japan when the aussie's were still trailing by 1, Guus was standing up biting his nails furiously. Then once we scored he was running around (or trying to run) and he was so happy. What a legend!
