From another story:
--------------------
excerpt:
The Ecuadorian referee, Byron Moreno, has defended the sending-off.
"I would do it again. I don't even have to watch the replays...Totti dived," he said in an interview with Il Messaggero newspaper published on Thursday.
---------------------
this is not basketball, like touch fouls....yes, there was VERY light contact, NOTHING that will cause him to take a ballarina like tumble, he should have stayed up and went to win the ball so he can shoot on goal and win the game...but, tired legs, could not reach the ball, Italian flair for the dramatic took over, we are in the box, hey let's pull off a nice dive, the ref may fall for it, he probably wants to go home just like me, we are both tired at this stage, it's worth doing, OK............heeeeere we go, FLOP/DIVE
Sayonara Totti, sayonara Azzuri, you have won the award of the Sorest Losers of the Century...Good riddance, Next! |
