For a "infamous" instance, you could talk about the recent UEFA champion's league final. Arsenal's lone goal came off of a free kick awarded because of a dive. 70.232.113.196 21:06, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I think Rivaldo's antics in the 2002 World Cup take the prize though. Jooler 09:43, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed merge with Football diving

I think this is the better title of the two. Amcguinn 12:10, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Generalizing

"Every person involved in football thinks that diving is a harmful element of the game, and many teams have lost games unfairly because of it." That seems like a huge generalization to say that every person thinks so. It would be more appropriate to say "most". --71.225.229.151 01:13, 19 June 2006 (UTC) Can we call it soccor?
