    it's not just Americans who hate diving

    Australians are too keen on diving either - especially after an Oscar-worthy dive by the Italians in the final 30 seconds cost us an upset win and a place in the quarter finals last night. :-(

    Diving is the worst part of the game. It's the nastiest, sneakiest, most flagrant form of cheating around. I'd like FIFA to have a committee that reviews the video of every game and has the power to charge & suspend any player who is caught pulling a penalty with a dive.

    Oh well.....
