For me, the blatant cheating and diving ruined this world cup.
Every single team was diving, including us, knowing that the other guy would get a card.
Thierry Henry was the worst, clutching his face for no reason.
That's not what football is meant to be about.
Henry is french what did you expect...I expect flopping and diving from everyone but ESPECIALLY the really flamboyant countries: Argentina, Brazil, France, Italy.....I mean correct me if I'm wrong but that's just their style of play.
Basketball in America has college teams that cheat in similar fashion: Duke for example...and pretty much everyone who's not a total jackass hates Duke
It just really annoys the hell out of me. I was brought up on Rugby, and you never see players feigning injury, probably because its a really tough game and they really do get injured a lot.
Surprisingly, Brazil have been one of the better/honest sides and have not done a lot of diving.
Portugal have been the worst, especially against Holland.
