Francesco Totti's Dive in the World Cup 2002

[TheJun127]

korean national team did really nasty job in 2002 world cup.

[hjaltiz]

This is not a dive, but not a penalty either. The defender touches the ball first and then the player, causing him to fall down. This should never have been a yellow card.

[arusso95]

italy should wo the whole cup not fucking brazil watch the highlights with all the fouls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck all of you

[SJMJ91]

Hmmm.. the Korean defender had his arm across Totti's face but he fell down immediately so.. it's neither a penalty nor dive.

[AnotherSundayMorning]

This wasn't a dive nor a penalty. It's a clean tackle that causes the italian player to fall. Nothing more, nothing less.

[mojado1996]

@AnotherSundayMorning Clean is when you touch the ball. Not when you clip someone´s leg.

[PagsandRags]

The defender got the ball but he also kicked out Totti's left leg. Totti was booked and banned for no reason because of his reputation but he was taken down. Awful decision by the ref.

[09BIJAN09]

south korea are fucking assholes, watch south korea world cup dirty tactics.... it will put rage in you.... fuck korea the dirty pieces of shit

[koreax707]

@09BIJAN09 Fuck you~ and go to hell ! what a fucking stupid loser ~ keyboard warrior

[09BIJAN09]

@koreax707 it is true though, truth always gets out

[bballpsycho64]

@09BIJAN09 you sound like a really intelligent, coherent person.

[ferrari7060]

the only thing south korea is good at is eating dog and cats fucking korea

[kobukuroboy1season3]

@ferrari7060 japan eats whale and dolphins so shut the fuck up

also, france eats snails?

dogs are better than snails dont u thinks so?

[ferrari7060]

@kobukuroboy1season3 i ment the koreans not the japs the koreans will eat anything look it up im sure you will find something

[AlexYDC91]

Are you people fucking retarded? Look at his foot in the last shot. He got clipped...

[ihavenokegson]

It wasn't a dive and it wasn't a penalty.

It was just a "play on" situation.

[Modview]

Abuse spat calling each other morons aside, he makes contact with the ball with his hands when he was toppled by the defender, whether intentionally or not. It's a clear handball. He received the yellow card for controlling the ball with his hands!

[24SertacGFB]

Beautifull Italian kits!

[fafo62]

Please, shut up! That game was rigged, that's all!!

[NOZ88]

DIVE???????????????

[aNUGGET]

you all realize that this isn't a dive or a foul, all that happened was he lost his footing. all of you are stupid. It happens, not every time someone goes down is a foul or a dive, jesus

[bostonhomeland]

not worst than cristiano's

[Vkidd172]

that game was riggedddd

[Noone2do]

it's not drive. r u blind?

[Riazor7]

There is a contact between south korean right leg and totti left leg. This isn't penalty neither yellow card.

[hazmanjin]

don't you guys realise that when these players are running as fast as they are (and considering it's the 110somthingth minute), it only takes a slight nudge to offset the player's balance and cause their legs to give way... it's not a dive... (most of the time)

[Iduirdi]

it wasn't a dive xd

[MixedTracialArtist]

02 world cup was a total joke

[thaimacky]

a clear dive. totti started to fall down before any contact - italian style!

[Peperlizio11]

@thaimacky it wasn't a dive! it waas penalty!

[hhh999999]

@thaimacky Shut up fu**ing Swiss!!!

[philipkaka]

@thaimacky 4 world cups. italian style!

[Giacomosabadotto]

@thaimacky Clearly you don't know the meaning of "to dive". Look at your style and think at your own business. Nobody asked you to tell us something about "italian style", because you don't know what it really is. If I were you I'd win four world cups before talking.

[ajderopt123]

@thaimacky and byern moreno the referee of this game is a drug dealer, Korean style?!

[farfy094]

@thaimacky ma per caso avevi il fumo negli occhi quando hai visto il filmato...(è fisica)cmq si vede che non un tuffo quello di totti..magari la tua nazionale potesse avere uno stile anzi il nostro STILE (naturalmente non quello che intendi tu ) almeno vincereste anche voi un mondiale ogni tanto!!!! VIVA IL GIOCO PULITO DOVE PER VINCERE NON BISOGNA TIRARE FUORI UN ASSEGNO !!!!!

[dvlfsh]

Totti himself admitted that he "tripped" on his own this instance.

[MessyJ]

If an Italian goes near soccer, they cheat...simple as that. They're an absolute disgrace.

[shug803]

@MessyJ yeah that's why Italy won four world cups...

[MessyJ]

@shug803

Yeah, I wouldn't call it winning, when cheating is so much a part of the tactics. If you want to believe that the Italians have "won" anything honourably, I'll leave you to your fantasies.

[Giacomosabadotto]

@MessyJ Wow we have God here that knows everything about everyone!Why don't you think at your country for example and why don't you stop telling lies and why don't you win so much like Italy before talking?and then tell me why the winning of 2006 world cup isn't honourably.

[alfredoooddd]

its funny how italians keep saying this was a foul - its clearly a dive and he deserved to be booked.

[theblackprince567]

@alfredoooddd no buddy whats quite clear is tht u dont know shit about soccer :) the asian guys knee knocked totti in the back of his knee, watch the video a bit closer aye

[Jackphillippearson]

its a foul you tit

[ritalvinc]

bad video, there is a contact not a dive... fucking korean, the biggest cheater ever..

[fiatz]

@aNugget im one of Totti's biggest fan...ive met him, been to games...i love AS Roma...my comment was talkin bout the fags who chirp and are anti-italian...i am italian...sorry if my post was misleading

[aNUGGET]

@fiatz ass bag. it wasn't a penalty, but it wasn't a dive, he lost his footing. you people act like if we say it wasnt a dive its a penalty. it is possible to lose your footing you anti-italian bastards.

[soccerman118]

@fiatz I agree with you 100%. Totti is my idol. All of those who talk shit about the Italy team just because they don't like them should all go suck on a big cock!

[DSHK45]

@fiatz

This same ref. has been suspended and doubted several times before; and this year was caught trying to smuggle heroin in NY.

[2009xellos]

@fiatz Spain cheated vs Netherlands, Portugal in 2010 WC: watch?v=HrTIlWa5wvM

Italy cheated vs Korea in 1986 WC: watch?v=j-cgbQYMons

watch?v=NV-v74R8Pfs

[hamidious]

He didn't dive. It wasn't a penalty, the Korean defender did hit the ball but in the process his leg hit totti who was sprinting and he fell. The refree was right in that it wasn't a penalty but was wrong in sending Totti off.

[fluffybal]

Can an italian guy explain why italians always dive in soccer?

[fulloftruth]

well technically they want free kicks or penalties... to be honest any smart player dives.. its a great chance to create a goal scoring chance especially if you are getting tired, sometimes they get away with it, and sometimes they dont. diving is effective even though it may not be the most honorable way to play.. think about it italy have 4 world cups lmao. even brazil and spain do it. i think maybe the rules of football need changing more contact allowed.. it'd be more entertaining. :)

[519piro420]

@fluffybal all players from all countrys do it its part of the game whether u like it or not... ive seen rooney dive, messi, ronaldo, xavi, sneijder , eduardo all not italian, so i ask u y does evryoone say italians are always the ones

[stewydxb]

clear dive. italians and all the other wop countries are famous for it.

[tailgunner89]

if italians are wop, what are arabs?

[Winnipeg4ever]

he didn´t dive!!! Awful ref

[MrKevinso]

Are you fucken blilnd or simply denying the reality.. This is how Italians play soccer?

[Q8DRIGON]

if totti dove who come the ref was banned

forza italy world cup 4 time

[DdotVDK]

all italians portugese and spanish are diving cunts, Fact

[tottivitinho]

pff wha ta faggot u are...that referee was even banned..how come totti dove ?

[mrcashman14]

wat shit is this??

korea just fcked italy and spain in the world cup

[DCG0502]

that was a terrible call he got red carded (second yellow) for this, you can see he obviously got hit but the guy did get ball but the ball was going to the same place anyway, should have been a penalty

[uuFabio]

Totti is a genius. One of the greatest technically gifted and of immense flair players there ever was on his day. He just didn't do so much for Italy. Some of the stuff he used to pull off was crazy. He`s a proud Roman and is loyal to his club for life, Roma. You see little of that these days!!!!

[whatdoesecxist]

the media has tell us already that the world cup 2002 the referees was scandalous against italy and spain see the not giving goals of italy vs croatia and south korea

[whatdoesecxist]

this wasnt a dive, it was no dive and no foul.

The game had to be continued whitout any decision of the referee

[allkinds1]

it wasn't dive or a foul, i believe that it was a fair tackle but the defender gets a bit of totti and the ball.

[riddler182]

they went back to their eggrolls later lol viva italia 2006

[viraj710]

i hate how korea won tht match..........the referee sucked n players sucked for allowin tht shit..........same thing againstt spain

[XxWestPopxX]

I wouldn't say it was a foul or a dive. That guy touched the ball so it wasn't a foul and Totti tripped over his leg so stop your bitching and get on with your lives if u have one. Besides Totti sucks and Italy is better off without him

[MrGoodkat99]

fuck south corea

[crazytrap10]

PELE said that was totti`s world cup and that he was the best player on the planet,,until money and corruption took this away from football history

[arangotan]

Just because he got the ball, it doesn't mean it's not a foul. And it doesn't mean it's a dive. Song barely touched the ball so had he not taken Totti down Totti would still have been clean through on goal.

[SechkiJjang]

TO ALL PEOPLE WHO THINK THATS FOUL: look at 0:03 - 0:04, u can clearly see that the korean player touched the ball first. Than, look at 0:05 clearly, u can see that Totti is already falling down when the korean player made no contact, right? Finally look at 0:11-0:13 from a different angle, while Totti was falling down, u can see that he purposely touched the korean's legs to make it look as if its foul. He did the same thing against AUS in 06 world cup and sadly, it worked. That is all.

[Roarlover34]

Mate, i was just about make a comment when i read your comments and i realised that you covered everything i was going to say. YOU ARE A CHAMPION!!!!

[BoboSnowman]

So there was no contact? Song even stumbled after lol.

[thecogemeister]

One of the most beautiful moments in world football. Just a pity they managed to dive and hack their way to a win 4 years later :)

[kolsen89]

Too bad you dont have a friend cockfucker.

How did they dive and hack their way to be WORLD CHAMPIONS 2006???

Oh...... the """"diving"""" in the 1 match against australia? Lol.. wasnt even a dive you retard.

I pity you,such a braindead kid.

Its bitter,aye? that you and your fuck country will never win something:)

[DMatthiasCoyle]

Meh, give him a break. he's German and obviously has a jealous hatred since Italy owns Germany on the field.

As far as South Korean soccer goes, I think we all saw a true reflection of it in WC 2006.

[whatdoesecxist]

Jes man jesss u are my fucking man, you said that i would ever hear from another mouth thanks

[chopinandliszt]

@DMatthiasCoyle There's no "true reflection" or anything like that bullshit

Some teams have huge ups and downs. Back in 2002, Korea had a golden generation of players led by the celebrated Guus Hiddink.

ask yourself, can you name 3 of their players off the top of your head (doesn't matter whether they're famous; what matters is, you don't know them)

then don't pretend you know a lot about the stuff.

In case you don't know, Hiddink led Russia to the 3rd place in Euro2008

[DMatthiasCoyle]

@chopinandliszt

S. Korea hasn't acheived anything close to the its results in 2002. The true reflection is demonstrated by historical results.

Guus Hiddink is a great coach, but ask yourself whether S. Korea would have advanced as far as they did with the mountain of bad calls that went their way in this tournament?

In case you didn't know, Russia, under Hiddink, failed to qualify for WC 2010.

So don't pretend that you have a clue.

[chopinandliszt]

@DMatthiasCoyle south koreans got really interested in football during the last decade. Their national league formed during the 80s or 90s and is still in the process of growing - before that, ie. in the 60s, on one occasion - south korea was unable to enter WC because their administrator forgot to submit the application form - and nobody really cared.

As for you saying "every team dives", teams like south korea don't dive. I'm saying Italy has more experience than korea in every department.

[vap420]

Og my god....to all thsese chinks watching this, who dont know shit about soccer....the argument is Tottie shouldnt have gotten a redcard for diving. Thats the whole argument.

God u Koreans should just go back to doing math and learning Kung Fu

[Dock1020]

who is the champion of world cup 2006?

[Korearights]

use your eyes!italians! he touched the ball first jasss

[elBandito91]

Yes, but now comes the point where we see that you Koreans don't know anything about football, if it hits the ball and the players falls down, yes it shouldn't be a penalty, but it's not a dive, they don't mean the same (falling and deserving a card)

And you can clearly see that that is not a dive. And we all know that Koreans were the biggest cheaters in the history of football in 2002.

[chopinandliszt]

@elBandito91 for your comment about "the biggest cheaters", you clearly haven't watched how Italy got penalty kicks in the matches; against Australia in 2006, and against New Zealand in 2010. Watch how Italy got a penalty in their match against Korea (3-2) in 1986.

If you watch the match (2002) again, you'll see that Totti raised his hands and appealed for something right after he fell, even before he knew that the ref wasn't going to penalize the korean. And he had already received a yellow.

[DMatthiasCoyle]

@chopinandliszt

Yeah, and you haven't acknowledged the bad calls that have gone against Italy in those games, either. Every team dives, many of them more than Italy. There was contact, here, enough to put Totti down. It wasn't a foul, because the Korean won the ball, but when an offensive player goes down, it's not always either a foul or a dive. Totti thought he was fouled b/c he didn't have the bird's eye view of the camera. How many times have you played and thought you were fouled?

[chopinandliszt]

@DMatthiasCoyle well, it's very controversial, but videos, like "why korea shouldn't have reached 4th place etc" are heavily onesided and only show Italian fouls. Actually, Korea also got a crapload of yellow cards during the game, and - a Italian player jumped with a Korean to head a ball, and I don't whether it was by accident, - he broke the Korean's nose with his elbow and the referee didn't call it a italian foul.

[7SuperCRonaldo17]

@chopinandliszt Korea got 4 yellow cards, thats not really a crap load

[chopinandliszt]

@DMatthiasCoyle the korean player who got his nose broken - his name is kim tae young, and I can't remember the Italian's name. The Italian who bled during the game collided with another Italian by accident. The videos I mentioned previously give us the false impression that they were injured by Koreans - I stake my name on these claims. Of course Italy is always a stronger team than Korea in every way - do you remember the moment when Vierri missed a perfect opportunity? Korea was so lucky

[chopinandliszt]

@DMatthiasCoyle Totti thought he was fouled and appealed for something, the referee could have taken it as a way of deceiving him. Other referees could have made different decisions, but I don't think this is one of the worst, it's very controversial - The referee happened to be Ecuadorian, and Italy beat Ecuador by 3-0, before the R.of16. But, there was a rumour that during korea vs Uruguay, the referee's wife was Uruguayan. Uruguay once committed a foul in their penalty area but was ignored.

[matteoresca85]

yes guy...but the refree gave him the RED card...please shut up about this match....PLEASE!!

[Grousebox]

doesnt matter whether he "barely touched the ball" or got it full on, the fact is that he did touch it before he came into contact, thus no foul and legit red card. Stop whinging and get over it

[DMatthiasCoyle]

So every time there is conttact in the box that isn't a foul, where the offensive player goes to ground, the offensive player dove??!!

[Kevlorhve]

미친 새끼들이 지금 몇년전 일을 가지고...

존경하는 대한민국 국민들이여, 이런 국제 인간 말종들은 이제 상종하지 맙시다. 더 이상 답글도 달지 마세요. 우리 시간이 아깝습니다. 히딩크가 러시아를 이끌고 이태리를 포함한 많은 나라들을 사정없이 짓밟을 것입니다. 그때가서 이 말종들이 할말이 더 남아 있는지 봅시다.

[FORSANUARA]

cinesi di merda !

[yerna123]

That wasnt a dive! the Korean defender barely touched the ball and brought Totti down in the box...shouldve been penaty and a win for Italy....asian cheats

[nemea9]

Totti red Card... The Korean Defender touched the Ball first. Case Closed.

[leshkaka]

smart dive

[kiazele]

there, it is clear that totti plunged well

[MrReferee2007]

If neither with images you can see that is a amazing dive by totti, imagine you were the referee..with seconds to decide ...ahahaha....asshole! i advice you completely read laws of the game.... for not talk like you do ...beast... and for you know moreno was suspended because....

[znthkor]

Fuckin idiots dont know the rules... the only contact was between the shorts, thats the only contact and even if there was a physical contact, it was after the korean defender touched the ball which means its not a foul you punkass pizza makers, and back in 2002 FIFA said any simulation is to be a automatic yellow and totti already had one yellow u bitches, korea won because their better and beaten the diving team fair and square

[devilman92ita]

fucking korean noob

[ajrcold]

you should feel ashamed.

[JimCaviezeI]

he was already falling when he made that very small contact. he should've gotten a red card anyway for elbowing a guy in the nose. get over it

[Bluescola]

[grafix13]

[thebest1004i]

dude i'm korean, and to call us dirty asian suckers is like calling you a dirty nazzi bitch. stop with the racism and enjoy the motherfucking game. i dont fucking care if you're german, if you think thats a foul why not play Italy and get blamed for a foul after totti does the same hollywood action to you guys.

Plus the words in here are Chinese. don't treat us like chinese cuz thats like me calling you russian. I mean, you gotta get things right.

[odraode009]

[thebest1004i]

who are you talking to? is your mom chinese? cuz i'm not. and btw, koreans cant play pingpong. 06-01-23~07-07-07 U20 South Korea results 2006-01-23 South Korea 2:2 Germany 2006-01-27 South Korea 2:0 Switzerland "2006-01-30 South Korea 2:1 Austria" 2006-08-13 South Korea 3:0 Mexico 2006-08-29 South Korea 5:0 USA 2006-08-31 South Korea2:1 Argentina 2006-09-02 South Korea 2:0 Slovenia 2006-11-06 South Korea 2:1 Australia 2007-03-23 South Korea 4:0 Gambia

AND btw, moreno didn't score those goals for us. If Italy was so good, and better than my brothers, who love playin dirty (they're like Italians and Germans in a way), they would have score two goals before the end of the game, not 1. And Korea lost to Swiss in the Wordlcup, but they don't argue like some white Europeanese do, so just shut it.

[xempler]

Fuck you, you hairy grease-ball ape. Get that fake gold chain out of your eyes...He DIVED like the cheating bitch your mom is.

[danyvox15578]

W ROMA!

[leshkaka]

a very good dive. He throws himself on the ground before he gets hit

[kumisberatjoen]

that is not a diving

[fetpipan77]

no way that's a dive

[entds]

Totti....Why you dash to the ground ??

[KimAeKor]

Very sorry.

[minigigi55]

[wnm10]

[abtin]

He gets the ball but he also gets Totti, Thus not a dive, just not a blatant foul

[deltadice]

are you blind or somthing? he throws himself on the ground before he gets hit
