Wednesday, 17 October 2012
Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner has taken the most impressive dive this week, but dives on the football pitch have also been the centre of attention lately.

This is being ruined. Why can'tpeople just play the game without all of the diving. especially Ashley Cole for Chelsea, they just cheat to get the alleged cheat sent off when they are the cheat!:-) They want a penalty and in Chelsea's case, Frank Lampard who usually takes the penalty would miss anyway. THIS IS WRONG! from musicgirl(aged 11)xx

It ruins it for me, even though I only watch it at the World Cup or the European Cup. For how much they're payed they should just play without having to cheat.
