    Didn't think it was that bad a dive from Torres. Shameful.

    He actually knocks his own right leg into his left leg. That's disgraceful.

    He has dived several times before. Sad, but not particularly shocking!

    ill admit he goes down easy, but does he hit his left foot off the guys knee, and then trip himself? it looks like the other fellas stride does falter a little before torres goes over

    Most of the Portugese players are no strangers to diving either though!

    Hope you guys don't mind me plugging my thoughts on the game. Have a look, even if it's only to watch the video of Villa's goal!

    Was there no contact? I think that gif is a bad angle. Could be wrong.

    I'd like to see more footage too. That said, even if there was contact, it sure was not a bookable offense. Poor, very poor judgment from the ref, who did fine otherwise during the match imho. That said (again), he could have got a second yellow for his previous bad tackle. But we need way more consistency on those cards, refs :(

    There was a tackle on Xabi Alonso in the first half that easily could have been a direct red. Anyway I thought San Andrés was superb tonight - delighted for him. He was good against the Swiss also. Not a bad tournament from the little guy.

    I would like to see that at another angle before I would crucify Torres tbh. He surely didnt throw himself to the ground like that on the verge of getting himself into a good position to knock in a cross. I know he wasn't fit and getting really frustrated in a Rooney sort of way etc...if it is a dive its shocking but I dunno :confused:

    Torres brushed against the guys knee, realises there was contact and then decided to fling himself to the ground. Even if it wasn't a dive, all one has to do is look at the face of Estrada, he is not looking at Torres before the "fall" and only briefly glances as Torres as he take the tumble. There was no intent. Compare this to Torres's sneaky glance just before he falls over.

    I should hope that FIFA would do the right thing and reprimand Torres in some fashion that is a little more meaningful than Rivaldo's £5180 fine.

    Clear contact for the Torres thing, yes he goes down easily but it was still most certainly a foul. A yellow though? I doubt it.

    I gave you my thoughts on your article on the England v Slovenia game which was pretty sloppy and inaccurate but you chose to ignore what I had to say.

    Have left a couple of comments on there in the past too and never had any published.

    On the red card blatent dive with minimul contact, seen it plenty of time at his club too, getting used to his antics at this stage which is such a disappointment as he is a world class player,
