yet another world cup theead

Montana · 29th June 2002, 10:35

ok, i was watching some taped world cup matches and i have noticed a big thing, like when did footballer become such great actors,

example: brazil - turkey (the first meeting), near the end of the game, brazil is rewarded a corner kick.
rivaldo goes to take it, now hakan ünsal decides to give kick the ball to rivaldo, the kick was a decent mediumlow kick who ended up in rivaldo's knees. when rivaldo gets the hit he fakes that he got hit in the head and hakan ünsal gets a red card.

there's more examples how most players has faked of "acted" there way into free kicks & penalty kicks.

who should this years oscar go to?

That particular example is old news, but Rivaldo has been blatantly cheating all the way through this world cup, although most of the referees have either not noticed, or are ignoring him. I hope that Dietmar Hamman breaks his legs later.

They fined Rivaldo €10000 for that little acting bit with the head shot. He didn't miss that money, though. I wish someone really would break his leg the next time he dives.
