I agree...

Check your manhood at the door and start diving...

Brutal...!!!

not just the diving was bad, but the frequency at which they did it, it completely killed the flow of the game... there should have been yellow cards handed out earlier in the game for it...

They were falling all over the place and really getting in the faces of the refs all day, looked like TFC was getting a bit under the Yellow Team's skin.

It was getting ridiculous. Sigi Schmid must be taking them to the pool too often because they were hitting the turf like it was full of chlorine.

Yup. Most MLS officials will buy that crap... whistle happy wankers. This league needs more Kevin Stott's.

New Uniform for Columbus for next season. Allows them to more freely play the style of Football they excel at.

I heard they had a nasty outbreak of the Bends in the locker room after the match. You cant come up so quickly after a deep dive, its dangerous.......

A follow-up on what I said earlier: Crew fans accuse our team of being hacks and call us "Thugs FC" (real original, I know) but we're the most sporting team according to the MLS fair play table.

The Crew are a bunch of whiners because they need to excuse their diving team. The only way to do so is to claim the other team was "mugging" them...but I watched the game at home and besides the Dichio "bodycheck" (LOL!) Columbus was simply doing sommersaults and tumbles, it looked like a kindergarten gym class.

What a fucken Idiot,very typical diver and at the same a fucken baby.Before yesterday I kinda had some sort of respect for him. After that display at the game, I have a different view of the player.He should of been thrown earlier in the game.NOT IMPRESSED ONE BIT!

I don't disagree with your assesment of Schelotto, but there's no need to make it a nationalist issue by sterotyping an entire continent of players...you'll be pissing off a good portion of our supporters!

No, it's not ok.

And it's not ok to say Italian players dive.

And Portuguese players dive.

And African players dive.

To highlight one region creates the impression that other regions don't do it, which of course is not true and therefore throws your whole "can't speak the truth" business right out the window.

When I see games in both europe or south America. I see an occasional dive here and there in various european legues. When I watch games from South America I just notice a lot more diving and antics compared to european legues.I am not putting anyone down but this what I see. A couple of friends of mine one from Brazil and the other from Argentina say the exact same thing Its just how it is!

I didn't know Africa was a country. :rolleyes: The point is let's stay away from the traditional arguments that have been seen on these boards which usually were about the above stated regions. I am only stating previous examples of such arguments.

Any point worth stating can be expressed without having to single out any one group.

And then some guy will come on here and argue that he sees the same in Italy.

Then another will put up a Gerard diving video.

Then another will put up a Ronaldo diving video.

Let's agree that diving is found in many parts and if you have a point to make, make it about diving and stop using your "friends" as an excuse to be prejudiced.

That's like saying because I have black friends, I can use the "n" word. Its an ignorant argument.

schelotto is an absolute joke and disgrace. for the argentine football association, the fact that he has played for the senior men's team is a travesty. if it were not for the terrible officiating he would have been sent off for his multiple dives and for his dissent.

if he wants to cheat and delay the match, he shouldn't come to a league where we appreciate and are looking forward to the growth of the game in our country. the way he plays is NOT what major league soccer on the whole wants to see.

fyi, if i was coaching a player who requested a substitution because his dives were not fooling the referees he would be benched indefinitely if i ever saw something like that again.

If I was Carver, I would have also mentioned (in his post game rant) that the league needs to discipline Shitotto for 1) yelling at the linesmen and refs and 2) for not just one but multiple dives. If the league does not respond...then they are being unfair to Carver who had en entire DVD made up about him. Fuck that!

I skimmed that thread, what a bunch of whining sissys. Fouling is integral part of the game. If the ref lets you get away with it, you're stupid not to do it. 14 fouls is nothing out of the ordinary. Go look at the stats for number of fouls in matches played this past weekend in Italy and Spain and you'll see that some of the best teams in the world fouled more often than 14 times a match.

is always that bad---if he is he should be tossed for good --- that
was the worst abuse of diving i have ever seen in mls

Hehehe... After watching Schelotto's amazing rendition of Les Miserables ... I thought of a good way to welcome him back to Toronto in September when we face the yellow soccer team again. Everyone should buy Yellow Swim Caps and goggles. Paste a Crew Logo and Sharpie '7' onto the side. It would be awesome if we can coordinate this!

This would go very well with the score cards as well!
