I was reading in a newspaper about who the sports writer think is the worst notorius divers.
Top of the list was Sevilla's Jesus Navas. I havent seen too many Sevilla games but I remember how a mate was complaining how the Sevilla no 7 was diving more then our no 7.
I always thought the awful Inzaghi of AC Milan is the worst diver in the world. I cant forget how he took a dive against Turkey in Euro 2000. He was standing on his knee and celebrating to the Italian fans at that end. UH!
Who do you think is the worst diver?

Robert Pires had some comical dives, Klinsmann too.
One of the worst I've seen was Adebayor when we beat Arsenal 4-0 at OT.

I'm an Arsenal fan but I think Eboue goes down WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAY too easily. It really annoys me. I also think Ronaldo dives sometimes and Drogba.

Best for it has to be Gerrard, he looks so painfully at the referee.

Keano!

Best: Ronaldo (Although thats not nescerially a compliment)
Worst: Drogba (LMAO)
Oooh, wait and that Rivaldo moment in th '02 World Cuo when Brazil were playing
South Korea (I think), and they had a corner and someone hit the ball, it hit his
waist and then went down, clutching his face as if Ali had delivered a thunderous
uppercut!
Also the Dida moment earlier in the season was an absolute disgrace!

The worst dive I have ever seen was this one by Rivaldo in the World Cup 2002 -

Yeah, Keano4taoiseach. Rivaldo's dive is a joke. Like the one Dida came up with vs Celtic.

Oh, oh, pick me, pick me! Gillardino Vs Celtic and the Oscar goes too... Come to think of it Dida vs Celtic was also horrendous. What is it with Milan Vs Celtic matches that brings out the inner diver?
The Gillardino dive is on the left, Dida is on the right.

I never said Pires and Klinsmann were the worst, although
they are right up there, I said they were comical.
Adebayor's was really bad and that's why he was booked for it ;)

I don't get why you put he is the best diver? All diving is wrong.

Gerrard, Torres or Drogba are awful divers they look like pure puff's when they dive as if they've been drilled with a bullet or something :|

Diving is wrong and only pathetic pansies dive but you can still be 'good' at it.

Hleb goes down way to easy, also Mikel goes down like a ton of bricks which I think is pretty funny seeing as he goes into tackles with his studs up all the time. Gerrard dives every game.
I hate diving, its disrespectful to the other professionals on the pitch and t shpuld stop.

personally, i think if you are clipped or somehow knocked off the ball and you know you will have no chance of scoring you should always go down and look for a penalty. It would be stupid not to go down since you have been fouled and made you loose a good chance of scoring

Adebayor is the biggest diver ever and also drogba likes to throw himself down on the pitch alot.
just like to add that some of the pics on these posts are so funny that one of gerrad cryin - so funny :)
