5 worst divers in football right now
There are some players in the world, a very few in fact, that stay up despite being challenged harshly. Lionel Messi is a prime example of that. And then there are players who fall over due to a little gust of air.
To some, diving is an art. Obviously, when you are not caught, cheating is always considered an art. It is not that I am labelling it as cheating—the fine lines about diving and how much diving is cheating is explained eloquently in this article—but there are times when the blatancy of the act makes it hard to defend it.
Anything that exceeds limitations isn’t good. In this space, we shall look at the five players that aren’t really pioneers of this dark art.
So without further ado, here are the worst divers in the world of football right now.
#5 Casemiro
Usually, forwards are the ones that are more prone to using the dark arts of football than players who are supposed to guard the defence. In modern-day football, however, even the ones that inflict opponents with tackles are trying to pick up the art.
One such example is Casemiro. The Brazilian might be a decent holding midfielder, but when it comes to diving, he is as good as using a toothpick to dig a grave in the ground. Just look at that video above. Just look at it.
As a footballer, he is class. Stopping attacks of the opponents with his raw power and determination. He has, however, a lot to learn when it comes to mastering the art of simulation.
