Would England Players Please Stop Diving? It’s Getting Embarrassing.


I preferred it when we could be all xenophobic and claim that only those funny-named foreigners did things like diving and English players would never resort to such shameful chicanery.

But if we’re going to start doing it, then at least do it well enough to convince the referee. Looking at you Wayne Rooney. You too Steven Gerrard.

That said, there’s no point winning penalties if we’re only going to miss them anyway.

It’s not just English players. This new generation of football players are disgracing the sport when they do things like this. You didn’t see Maradona, Pele or Cruyff attempt to dive. Nowadays, the slightest touch and they drop like flies.

And if anyone is to blame, I say it’s the Italians.
