  yes.
  
  nowadays, player just have to fall down in the box. Whether its an intentional dive or a body reaction to fall down when you lose the ball, nobody knows. All we know is the penalty is unjustified.

  How ironic in the 2nd half France had a justified penalty. If that was given there would be no justice.

  i really do believe france did not need that early goal...it only forced the italians to attack and fance eventually could not handle it...

  How ironic that France won 2 penalties straight from 2 matches in the semi and final.

  That was a dive, all right. Sigh... whatever happened to fair play?
  
  I'm just glad the final wasn't Italy vs Portugal. Otherwise, it would have turned into a diving competition.

  i didn't see the italians dive much this time except for del piero towards the end..
  
  but they retreated into their defensive shell which is so disappointing, cuzs they looked really good going forward in the first half..
