I don't need to cite anything. It's well documented that Ronaldo was a regular diver when he played for Manchester United.
If it's well documented it should be very easy for you to come up with 10 examples. Or show me these 'documents' which prove that Ronaldo was a regular diver.
I watched him a lot more than you did, and he didn't dive any more than any other player, he just had a bad reputation for it for a number of reasons
1) Opposition fans were jealous
2) His behaviour in the 2006 World Cup
3) Him being the best and most famous player in the world
4) The fact he did get fouled a lot because he was so good that other teams couldn't stop him fairly
5) He is rich, successful and good looking
He did dive on occasion, and when he did it was blown up and made a show of, so simple minded locusts like you think he must have dived more than anyone else. It was nowhere near as often as it's made out to be, and no more frequent than any other player, indeed I remember he once got booked for diving when he had been blatantly tripped in the area by a goalkeeper because of this reputation that he's got.
Still, maybe it is red tinted glasses - so if I'm wrong, and you're basing your perception of Ronaldo on facts, while I'm being a biased fool, prove me wrong.
Prove the Great ResurrectionRooney wrong, embarrass me completely, and show me 10 examples of Ronaldo blatantly diving, or show me the 'documents' which prove that Cristiano Ronaldo is a diver. This should be very easy for you, as he used to cheat and dive 'on a regular basis' when he was at United.
Or do the decent thing and admit that I am right.
