I agree, diving sucks and I am glad officials are doing something about it. If there was any harshness to what the referee did to Totti it is that he didn't do it 45 minutes sooner. Maybe then Totti would have stayed on his feet and scored a goal instead of getting first choice of seats on the flight home.

This is Soccer, sorry to bring (Ice) Hockey into this...(even as a joke) Should have been Field Hockey <gg>...but I happen to play it...First the amount of skill required (Skate, Shoot and watch-out) is truly incredible, and Players are for real!!! As for soccer and dives, I am 45, (from Russia) have watched every single WC ....That WAS NOT THE DIVE...but Italy deserved to be out of just about every WC...but not this one..<gg>

xyz, I again must bow to your wisdom....what you said below is worth restating here for the record, how about I buy you a cyber beer or something<g> >This diving bs... it is over!! I am glad FIFA took action, the problem with the Italians is that they are trying to get away with an old style of playing and on top they are sore losers as they did a lot of bs in their day and get away with it...today they are simply getting caught. Instead, they should be developing better players and national team instead of bitching... Having said that, I am willing to say that they were robbed against Croatia... but that's it. Everybody knew they had to do a lot better with Korea and... What do they do? Their same old crap... score ONE frigging goal and go to sleep caging themselves in... Well crap on them... the Koreans NEVER gave up, scored and in the OT they scored again.... they outplayed the Italians and now they ought to pack and go home quietly... end of story.
