Does the Italian soccer team act to much when they are being touched to get a foul called?

I like their quick and precise style of play, but I will admit that they play like pansies and do not play physical. They fall to the ground with the slightest of touches. They should play like men, and not like actors!!

Does the Italian soccer team act to much when they are being touched to get a foul called?
Its only one or two players like Totti that do it. As for not being physical, I don't think you're watching them hard enough. Just look at Gattuso how tough he plays.


But Italy isn't the only team of divers judging from the other Semi-Final or other matches I've seen.


Its amazing nobody mentioned Marco Bresciano's triple twist with a somersault that got the Italian player wrongly sent off in the game against Australia.
Reply:Some players do that professionally in certain situations, others are stupid and do it all the time and ruin the game.





Italian players are tough and can handle tackles, yet some players do that for free kicks %26amp; penalties like any other players in other teams.





Best divers in this tournament are the Portuguese.
Reply:Well, I'm an Italian fan and I always follow Euro club competition (Champions League, UEFA cup), and I never noticed our players were so Oscar Award deserving...


Italian clubs are full of champions coming from the whole world. In example, in Juventus are actually playing Nedved, Vieira, Ibrahimovic, Emerson, Thuram, Trezeguet. Former Juventus player are Zidane and Henry. Why need they to play in a 'movie' championship were falling is the main skill?


In Italy we often blame Spanish, South Americans and Portuguese teams by having this issue... but this definitively only a childish way to criticize opponents, an usual press strategy to hotting a match. Our last target of such claims was Pavel Nedved, of course when Italy-Czech match was next to play. A great player, UEFA Golden Ball awarded. Really falling is his first skill? ;-))


Any team MUST play in a men way, there is no point in an always-falling way. Referee aren't a bunch of blind, drunk, cheating outlaws, and you are easily targeted if your way of play is issued by unsportsmanship. Trying to force a referee in his decision is a minor part in Italian way to play. Our defenders and midfielders (Gattuso, Perrotta) are highly physical players. Toni is physical forward. Totti had a broken leg in February, then a great recover due to willingness and mental fit. He's playing this WC at 70% his full skills, but his tactical role has no substitutes, and coach Lippi must send him on the field. Buffon recovered from an injury, but lost the main part of 2005-6 Italian 'serie A' tournament, and now we all can see his performances.


Finally, to me they're all 'MEN', not pansies (anything this could be) and their skills doesn't involve any fall training ;-)))
Reply:They are just a bunch of girls! I find it really frustrating to watch their matches because I get so annoyed I just feel like coming up to them and shouting: GET UP U PATHETIC LOOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:No the Italian are physical , GATTUSO Gennaro not phsical !!!!!
Reply:don blame them for acting up from a foul to achieve a free kicks or anythings.... human being are born to act too...just like my fav mr bean.... sportmanship sometimes don carry along the way just becos the needs to achieve or win by any means...cheers matez
Reply:No they are not actors they are players.
Reply:They do that so that they can get penalties. And it works, unfortunately. They even fall when they aren't touched. They all need yello cards for diving. AND IT IS NOT 1 OR 2 PLAYERS THAT DO THAT. IT IS ALL OF THEM AND IT IS REALLY REALLY REALLY ANNOYING.
Reply:Yes, but i think most of the players and most of the teams try to get the most of every little thing so you cant really blame them
