402.1hey you, the Rock Steady CrewSUBURB::ABSOLOMTDillydallying and shillyshallyingWed Jun 22 1994 18:188
    
    Dunga - Brazil, first five minutes. A six-stone Rusky tapped his ankles
    and big, broody Dunga spun around the floor like someone out of the
    Rock Steady Crew.

    I thought Maradonna's forward 3 and a half somersaults in pike position
    degree of difficulty 3.0 was pretty impressive last night.

    Frank Skinner was good last night; said he brushed past the telly to
    answer the phone, and Klinnsman fell over!
402.45.4 for MaradonnaASDG::JOHNSONFri Jun 24 1994 18:515
    I second Maradonna's nomination......I was at the game and Maradonna
    was diving and whinning from the start. Too bad he is still out of
    shape. Some of his dives suffered from it......

402.5Most dives/fake injuries!POLAR::KRESICFri Jul 01 1994 18:515
    Forget about all the previous dives mentioned. If you want to see the
    most dives/feigning injury in all the World Cup, the Bulgaria/Argentina
    match had it all. BTW, it was a really lousy game of soccer (North A.).
    It seemed like every two minutes the referee was issuing a yellow card.
    Bulgaria won 2-0.
402.6Is this a triple salchow ?GLDOA::BOSSONNEYTue Jul 05 1994 19:135
    I only watched the first half of Holland-Ireland but I think that
    during these 45 minutes Van Vossen did a pretty good impersonation of
    the leading ballerina in Swan Lake....;-)

    I have to nominate Romario and Bebeto jointly for theatricals last
    night against the USA.

402.8KlinsmannPLAYER::ROOSELEERSRooseleers Jo 856 8067Mon Jul 11 1994 13:425
Klinsmann showed again why the award is named after himself.
However, Hristo and Letchkov (Kletskop) and their mates gave the Germans what 
they deserve (and what the Belgian Red Devils should have done before).

RE: last few. 

I agree. Mind you, it evened out because that disallowed goal a few minutes 
earlier looked perfectly good to me (no way it was offside).

Are the British commentators still saying how great their officials are -
I reckon that Pearson, the touch judge could do with some basic training.

    No, after the recent displays we've stopped ridiculing the Saudis,
    Koreans etc as being Third World idiots and have started talking about
    Klinsmann all the time now.

402.14Contact sport..It's all in the mind.PAKORA::AMCKAYAndy PandySun Jul 17 1994 06:389
    I agree that there are some players who love diving and all the
    theatricals that go with it but don't you think that there is method to
    there cheating.
    With defences being on top most of the time certain players take a dive
    so that it implants the idea in a defenders mind that if he goes near
    the player again he will do the same again.This then gives the diver
    more time on the ball to get his shot in.
    Anyway my nominations for the cheat/diver goes to the so called hard
    man of Brazil....Dundga.

    against Italy.... after the reply... it was clear that no one touched
    him!!!   shame! shame!  a great player reverting to CHEAT!!!!!

402.17Jurgen Branco....AYOV16::KMCCLELLANDThe Honest TruthMon Jul 18 1994 20:4613
    Branco wins it for the dive, looking for a penalty, when Appolloni
    challenged him. He even looked embarrassed when he realised how bad an
    attempt it was. Had the ref been fooled, and lets face it, they are so
    easily fooled, then Appolloni may have been sent off as he had already
    been booked.
    
    The typical South American traits have finally infected Brazil......
