England and diving

[Andy @ Allerton]

I was half-watching the game yesterday and I must say I was shocked by the dishonesty of the England side.

 

I think everyone can accept wholeheartedly the cheating s***house tactics by the likes of David Beckham and Michael Owen in the England setup, but this particular atrocity has, it seems, jumped back in full force with the England team.

 

Every time an England player got (fairly) challenged, they were diving around like 3 year old naughty schoolgirls (Christiano Ronaldo) and I, for one, was disgusted by it.

 

If the English football team wish to win games by cheating, crying, whinging and rolling around then I would be happy to see them fail and fail horribly.

 

Hopefully there are still some international teams out there with a shred of decency that should be taking Englands place in the next world cup.

 

England: The diving team.

Everyone knows you hate England and international football on here, you don't have to keep trying to prove it.

 

Re the diving, you are talking our of your a***. And I'm not a huge fan of England/international football either.

Maybe that's why the fans were boo-ing.

I could only start supporting England Again with a passion if every single one of those t***s that goes to England Games gets banned for life.

 

And that t*** on the mic

Whereas if they won it fairly and squarely, you'd be the first to congratulate them presumably?

The prick was still shouting when the second half was kicking off.

 

Should be sacked for that alone

[D.Boon]

Surprised that someone who hates England so much would be watching them on a Saturday

you should check out a match thread when Utd are on the telly.

Liverpool fans often watch United matches on telly - we want to see you get beat.

 

Surely even you can understand that?

[matty]

[Ostrich Man]

[Guest Ant]

I didn't see any diving myself.

 

I was counting the amount of 'Borat' references....

[carrafan]

Thought Ashley Cole was diving all over the place and milked at least 3 free kicks off the ref in that game.

[dorgie]

I can believe that. I avoid watching Liverpool as much as I can. I find them boring to watch and I know Torres or Gerrard will pull you out of the s*** to piss me off.

 

No thankyou very much.
