Football/soccer diving vs over reacting ?

Postby Good For Nothing » Jan 9th, '11, 01:55

Is over reacting the same as diving in your opinion ? Because me and my friend always get into heated arguments (usually after watching spanish football at the weekend ) I think that a dive is when a player goes down without any contact from the opponent in order to win a penalty/free-kick whatever, and he thinks that over reacting is diving even when player A gets tackled illegally by player B.

For example here is a video of Ronaldo apparently diving, but 98% percent of the "dives" in this video where tackles made illegaly on him, but it just looks bad because he makes such a song and dance about it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1LiWYJswZw

So basically is over reacting the same as diving even when there has been contact made ?

To me, diving is going down when there was no contact. But all players, diving or not, would over react when they go down. It puts more pressure on the ref to award a penalty/free kick.

Most of the time Ronaldo didn't even make a scene when he got seriously hit. I consider diving to be when players fall without contact, which I hate.
