Eventually, Gilardino Will Get Around to Taking That Dive
Feb 28, 2007 – 4:03 AM
For better or worse, diving is a part of soccer. It is, sadly, a skill. Some guys are good at it, some guys are not. Above, you see AC Milan striker Alberto Gilardino. Alberto Gilardino, in this particular instance, anyway ... is not very good at it.
Either that, or he's got some kind of a strange muscle synapse delay thing. You can count four full steps between the contact and the flop. It was like he wanted to keep his feet until he was sure he couldn't score, and then go to the old swan dive. After that, the audacity to complain about getting yellow-carded is just icing on the cake.
That's an all-time great call, too, by the announcer ... referring to the dive as occurring "almost posthumously." Throw in "outrageous," "deserves censure, if not ridicule," and "disgraceful," and that's fine broadcasting work.
