Wow, Drogba's becoming quite the shameless little diving ****.

[redqueen]

I guess it works well enough for Ronaldo, and people still admire that one, so why not?

1. He's been quite the diving artist for a while.nt

[redqueen]

3. Yeah...

well this is the first one I remember seeing that was so blatant and resulted in a goal. I was just pissed.

[flvegan]

2. I'm sure he was fouled and the camera failed to catch it.

:hide:

4. The camera caught it all right...

Fabregas barely tapped his shoe and he came down like a sack of potatoes.

[spoony]

5. It's rampant

And you're right, it's because it worked for its pioneers like Ronaldo. I hate that part of Drog's game. Get up, man! That said I'm thrilled with his resurgence under Hiddink (too bad Guus hasn't--or can't--get him to stop the flop and roll act).

6. The real shame is, he doesn't need to do that stuff.

When somebody charges at him, he's strong enough to shrug the defender off and go past him, instead of going down like a ton of bricks every time somebody breathes on him. I just don't get why he resorts to diving so often.
