We were waiting for a candidate for this year’s worst dive at the 2010 World Cup. And surprise, surprise, it came from the Italians.
Here’s Danielle De Rossi inexplicably taking an awkward tumble when nobody touches him.
Taking a dive has now become an art. It’s become imperative that in order to fool an absent-minded referee, you must be as close to your defender as humanly possible. Then, you plant your cleat as hard as you can into the turf forcing your arms to lunge forward in a violent manner.
After writhing around in pain for a few moments, if there is no foul, you get up with an utterly disgusted look on your face. Similar to the stank face David Beckham gave after English goalie Robert Green let in that goal against the U.S.
Your opponent helps you up, even though he knows you just performed an Oscar worthy performance on par with the venerable Nicholas Cage and you walk away pain free.
Congrats Mr. De Rossi. Your team may not win the cup, but you undoubtedly will be mentioned with the great soccer divers of all-time
