Did the ref even book him? Maybe he let him off because it was just so bad.

I can't find the video right now but there was a World Cup dive above and beyond all reason, how the referee didn't wave the red card at the cheater.. is simply incredible. The two players are racing down the right wing, just past the halfway line, when the one (quite possibly Maradona) gives up on the chase and goes down hard. A fairly typical cheat/dive maybe but this player rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls... on and on so much that he must cover 20 feet or so. He's screaming in pain while the other player just stands there bemused; until the referee launches at him waving the scarlet.
Incredible sight, wish I could find the clip. It's from the Maradonna era I believe, and the perp has got to be either South Merkan or Italian.

If you look at the replay in the clip, the guy in blue did actually clip his ankle. :tea:
