A member of the Class of 92' Paul Scholes is certainly regarded as a living legend by all football fanatics. Trust me; Roy Keane is definitely a better tackler but take nothing away from Scholes' passing attributes- which has often propelled him to the highest level of football with his one and only club, Manchester United.
Frankly speaking, Scholes has been one of the most underrated players in the history of football. But the aspect of him that makes him special is his attitude. While players of the current generation tend to get swayed aside by fame and attention, Scholesy has been true testament to how a footballer should lead his life. After all, he came up with a very meaningful statement once: "I don't like compliments, I'd rather people have a go at me so I can prove them wrong."
Today, LiveSoccerTV.com invites you to watch (once again, perhaps) what caught the eye of many spectators and incited hilarity or irritation among soccer followers. It's not about Frank Lampard's disallowed goal against Germany, or Carlos Tevez's offside goal against Mexico. It's neither about David Villa's offside goal against Portugal, or about Kaka's red card against Ivory Coast. As mentionned earlier, the focus is on the 2010 FIFA World Cup's top 5 dives.
Daniele De Rossi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres, Jozy Altidore, and Joan Capdevila complete the list of the top five dives that were effected between Match-day One and the last fixture of the Round of 16 matches.

What really caused Daniele De Rossi to fall on the ground this way and scream to both the referee and the Paraguayan players in protest?
