Did De Rossi dive?

July 15th, 2010 | by admin |

Turn on annotations when you watch the video please.

Facts:
1. De Rossi’s left heel seems to have been stepped on by the trailing Paraguayan player.
2. De Rossi takes a stride before leaping off his right foot and then falling

Analysis:
Reference used – Morris, P.H & Lewis, D. 2008 Journal of Nonverbal Behavior, Tackling Diving: The Perception of Deceptive Intentions in Association Football (Soccer)
1. There was a slight separation in time between the contact on heel and De Rossi’s reaction.
2. There is a lack of continuity between the heel contact and De Rossi’s leap into the air.
3. There is contact consistency. De Rossi nurses his left foot where the likely contact occurred.
4. Upon leaping, De Rossi assumes the “Archer’s Pose” tilting back his head, thrusting his chest forward, raising his arms and both legs bent at the knee to lift both feet off the ground to the rear. This is recognized as a characteristic sign of simulation, as the action is counter to normal reflex mechanisms to protect the body in a fall.

Conclusion: Although there was contact, De Rossi did indeed dive.

    @Pepsimaximo1 Too bad he was booked for the reason I just stated. If it was for the punch, the ref would have him sent off. Really, you ignore the rules, you are really showing how poor you are. Pathetic, really pathetic.

    @kuroishin LOL 1. He did not kick it away. 2. He did not carry it away.
    The only possibly reason he could have been delaying play, was because the Italians were too busy attacking him to let him give it to the ref.

    @Pepsimaximo1 So why don’t you even know the rules? And which football do you watch in TV? Your poor A-League with just ten teams?

    @Pepsimaximo1 PAGE …
    @Pepsimaximo1 PAGE 117 Rule 12 – Delaying the restart of play states clearly that a player must be cautioned (YEL CARD) when he’s kicking the ball away or carrying it away with the hands after the referee has stopped play.

    Ignorance is really a beast you can’t fight with normal weapons. Please, this is the last time I teach you the rules of a sport you don’t know.

    @kuroishin Before that, it was a clear attack on the goalkeeper. 2 of those players deserved a red card and a 3 match ban.
    Oh, so you don’t have enough time to provide evidence of this rule, but you have enough time to troll everywhere, and state rules you don’t know?

    @Pepsimaximo1 It was a clear punch, and all the world saw it except for you. When I’ve spare time I will look over the rules for the one you need since it’s 140 pages and I do not have the time to browse them all right now.

    @Pepsimaximo1 No, if it were you should have said “could”, but you didn’t. Should I teach you your first language, which is my third?

    @Pepsimaximo1 Hey …
    @Pepsimaximo1 Hey man, you talk this way because your life is already painful and you are frustrated coming here with nonsense arguments, where also SergioCalcio told you to stop and you get on, nervous and full of hatred. Relax man, you really lost your small mind during this chat. Should I end the conversation with the real troll, as YOU are by minding italian business on an italian video that has nothing to do with Australia, I’d wish you no pain since you clearly experienced it all!
