My knowledge of football is pretty limited, but as an outsider it seems obvious that unless you change the rules so that there is nothing to gain from diving, prople will always dive. While the players have something to gain from throwing themselves on the floor in their dramatic and battetic ways, it will continue.

The English sure hold a grudge. No mention of the Owen dive a couple years ago nor the quote by Lineker himself that it is part of the modern game. And these were the same commentators complaining a week earlier that the referees are handling out yellow cards like confetti. I don't like it, but unless we accept dozens of bookings in a game it is here to stay. Stuart __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
