Ronaldo has loads of talent: shooting, passing, pace, vision, heading, dribbling, and yes, even diving. There are good shots and bad shots, good tackling and bad tackling, good passing and bad passing, good diving and bad diving. Winning the call is a skill like every other aspect of the game. Should diving be punished? absolutely. Should *skilled* diving that eludes detection be rewarded? absolutely. By the way, only a handful of the clips in the video appeared to be dives.

you are such an Idiot! How many of those Clips do you see his is going for at penalty or a freekick, He falls and get up, you call it a dive, and therefore you are an Idiot, it is just because He IS BEST!

God, the amount of biased Man U fans on here, he is a diver and there's no excuse, he appeals for the foul so obviously he isn't just diving out of the way, i used to like watching Ronaldo but he dives so much, it's calmed down a bit this season but i would ban him from the game if i had the power to, i hate divers, i would ban Eboue of Arsenal probably too (i'm and Arsenal fan) so just shows... I HATE DIVERS. Oh and when the linesman gave that one where he was right in front of him was appauling, simply terrible decision.

Im an Arsenal and Portugal fan so i can be alot more impartial than most Man United fans that have left comments. (funny , how they want to boycott the site)

1. C.Ronaldo is a good player (only 1 assist and 4 goals i think this season, but still the best player of last season)

2. C.Ronaldo is a diver (full Stop). No excuses.

He reminds me of a portuguese Henry that can header the ball, they both have phenomenal ball skills and can dribble, but both dive too. Like Henry , Ronaldo isn't really a big game player. Play him against the big teams (AC Milan, Arsenal, Chelsea) and he doesnt really make a huge impact. Hes a bit of a one trick pony, you can't really compare him to Messi and Ronaldinho..

Watch any of Ronaldinho's goals, or Messi's goal against Levante? i think and well, yeah. Definitely up there with Figo and Eusebio as the greatest players Portugal have ever produced though.

blah blah blah. either u guys are jz denying it or u're too blind to see. This kid dives to avoid injury all the time? u guys are bullshitting. how could a simple tap on ur knee could cost u to broke ur leg? watch some of the vids, some didnt even touched him. So wad u guys mean is that other players who don't dive or maybe some not as 'frequently' as Ronaldo, want to get injured?! oh, i know wad u guys would b saying. "ronaldo is smart enough not to get himself injured". ****! This kid is not smart, he's arrogant & selfish! He's only thinking for himself. For example, the WC2006 match between Portugal & England. U guys know wad happened, don't deny em. He's a pure selfish S.O.B, *wink*.

i do think some of those are dives however i agree with most people, some of them he's just running too fast and loses his balance and some of them he's just jumping out of the way to avoid injury. I will say, sometimes referees call too many fouls on him and he starts to realize he can get away with things, they should better realize the difference between dives, falling down, and trying to prevent themselves from getting hurt.

Embellishing contact is part of every decent attacking players game. I would say on maximum 25% of these there is no contact, and many of those he doesn't call for a foul.

Watching this is really impressive actually, there are many times where there cleary would be a harsh foul but cristiano somehow avoids the contact or makes it much less severe. He's not a cheater, but he does try to earn a free kick when his progress is unfairly impeded even when he is quick and agile enough to avoid contact.

Fokin haterz, u just jealous cuz hes the best in the world... I admit he dives sometimes, specially in the world cup which ****** me off, but most of those clips are not dives... why dont you take a look at ronaldinho... the best in the world? whatever.. he dives too... the fact of the matter is that it is football, you dont want to get injured and you want to win the game

Re: Cristiano Ronaldo - Top 30 “Dives”

Arsenalfan — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 22:44:43 -0000

He's nowhere near the best in the world. Best in diving, yes! Best in cheating, yes! Best for Oscar Awards for play-acting, yes! Best in football, hellll noooo.... Obviously some of the clips here shows that he tend to go down to the floor when he knows he'll lose the ball. furthermore, he wanted others to get punish. this is indeed destroying the beautiful game. I agree he does not really dived nowadys, but sorry Ronaldo, u still have to live with ur past & the past shows that u're a cheater. jibe!

There is no need for Ronaldo to dive, he has the skills to take people on. You get nowhere from diving, look at Alan Shearer, Highest premier league scorer ever, he has never dived.

Nice video. The guy should make a video for Cuahtemoc Blanco and Carlos Ruiz as well.

It's a shame C. Ronaldo augments his obvious talent by cheating.

i admit ronaldo has skills but he obviously hates when they don't work out, so instead he dives - then instead of it being a **** piece of football it is a foul. then their is talk of him being one of the best in the world or even THE best, anyone who saw the united - AC milan game last season will know that a real quality payer - gattuso - played him off the field. i would love to punch the **** in the face and tell him to cop on

Re: Cristiano Ronaldo - Top 30 “Dives”

han — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 13:01:50 -0000

the 1st one is quite debatable. definately contact.
some of the ones where he loses his balance can be considered dives cuz he always looks at the ref as if he had bin fouled.
but other than that..hes a good player.
but Fabregas is better :d

Re: Cristiano Ronaldo - Top 30 “Dives”

maki — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 11:20:49 -0000

some of them actually aren't dives, like 23, that was pretty bad tackle

26 was the funniest! he even slightly jumped to sell the call

ronaldo's a world class player, but still hasn't reached the level of a player like zidane to deserve the title of the greatest player in the world. and you have to admit that he does dive a lot but then again almost all great players do... peace!

I don't know if it's just me but looking at this video makes me grin uncontrollably! It actually looks very fun! Lol, I would assume it's a kind of thrill and rush to get away with diving =)

dam, i'd probably make a movie like this too if I was that jealous of a guy who plays very well. Fact is he is playing at the highest level and none of us our, our opinion is worthless. Especially the person who thought making this slideshow...no one really cares

Most of the people that think ronaldo is the best player in the world must have been hit on the head at an early age, Sure he can do tricks WOW,and he has had one good season thus far WOW. Plus about 90 percent of these are dives so shut up all the mancs who are like only the last 3 are dives it just shows your poor knowlege of the game.

Re: Cristiano Ronaldo - Top 30 “Dives”

GavinV — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 21:19:47 -0000

obviously, ronaldo dives, that's a fact, but the important thing is about him NOW.

I don't anyone could touch ronaldo harshly this season for diving. He dived maybe once, twice, or trice during this season, but clearly you could see his game improving and becoming "cleaner" from a spectator's view.

Also Ronaldo isn't a total ball hogging jerk like we saw in the beginning of his United career, he plays with more coherency than he used to.

Anyone oppose at all?
