This is amazing. Vote for the best dive. I had to go with Adryan. What an amazing dive that was.

Breakfast at Chiellini's XD

They should've picked another for Robben, that was a foul, so the dive was kind of legit.

Well it's not just Nordic/Russian countries that have winter breaks. Pretty much all the non-UK countries in Europe have at least a couple of weeks at the end of December/start of January.

As for why the UK doesn't have a break.... it's because of money. The month of December is one of, if not the, busiest periods in British football. There is plenty of money to be made, lots of TV revenue and the boxing day (day after xmas) attendances for games is usually higher than average as well. It's just a good time to make money.

True, I just meant if England/Wales had harsh winters then even the monetary payoff would have to be weighed against costs of the weather.  Can blame me a bit, I always look forward to Boxing Day fixtures as well.

Hilarious. Who would have thought someone would top Suarez this year.

My top 3: Adryan, Suarez, Gonzalez.

Outstanding efforts from these 3 fine sportsmen.

It simply wouldn't be a best dives of the year list without the Almighty Penal... I mean Ronaldo in it, eh?

Lamela on the bench, Eriksen in the middle, 4-0 win :)

Best I've seen Townsend for a while



i'm glad there is no winter break. makes the long cold nights more interesting when we have a big match to watch or look forward too. and in the summer my countries own sports have their main championships so i like the way they don't clash.

I'd say Gonzalez because of the situation. It was not only laughable but hugely disrespectful and an insult to football.



Hmm, pie.

The way that first half ended though... xD

I don't believe it. City have blown a 2 goal lead again

They still managed to win thanks to good ol' Lampard!
