Also, the fake dives are pathetic. I saw the greatest player in the world at the time, Ronoldo, have a soccer ball bounce off his stomach while he was standing in a corner. He grabbed his face and did a weird dance pretending he got hit in the head. I have no respect for that crap.

if you are going to make an indicment on a sport using a player as a citation, at least get the player right, it was rivaldo who grabbed his face. ALso, diving(or faking a foul) happens in hockey and basketball too

agreed. bball is closing in fast on the most dives. worst part is the media, owners and refs completely ingnore it. at least soccer is taking proactive measures.

Soccer is a sport for girls. It is also a sport for boys without enough athletic ability to play a real sport like football, basketball, or baseball.
