ah like boxing you mean. this is how things get confusing. cuz cronaldo "took a dive" (dived, dove, whatever) in the penalty box trying to ectract a penalty kick but got himself a yellow card instead
he's really an expert in diving you see, and the world knows it:

I believe the brother took a dive because I believe in the conspiracy that the NBA is fixed. In regards to Portugal then the Euro 2012 Semis, I can't say exactly who took the dive or how or when, but my gut feeling watching their meh performance when I know they could have played at a higher level suggested to me a dive, that the match was fixed for Spain.
