I have not seen real madrid play that much the last couple of months, so I dont know how much he has dived, but heres a few from this seasons





lol at him kicking at the zaragoza player in order to fool the referee that he was fouled xD

Here he is playacting in the same game


If you want to see more cristiano ronaldo dives then just visit unknowngenius01 youtube channel, he has an entire channel full with him diving and kicking at other players..

One thing I´ve got to admit though, how cristiano ronaldo can get away from diving so much without getting booked is pretty impressive. The few times that messi dives, he always gets booked. Thats one thing that messi needs to learn from cristiano ronaldo, how to not get booked when you dive..

lmfao those arent dives apart from maybe the first one

Missi dives in the box so blatantly i bet Pep wants to facepalm

Ah I see. When cristiano ronaldo just get the smallest of contact and falls down looking at the referee/linesman its not a dive, but when messi gets his leg tangled with a defender(sociedad) its a dive. Just love the double standard of a real madrid fan.

Wow hop off bro, ronaldo and many other players as well dive. I could make a montage of iniestas dives as well, but he isn't a dirtbag

Tell that to the real madrid supporter and not me, seeing as its not I who said that every divers are dirtbag but them. All I did was post dives from cristiano ronaldo when a real madrid supporter asked about them..

TONS of players dive, if he said that he is wrong

Iniesta is class bro, just letting you know.

Even messi takes the occasional dive

Once againt m8, I didnt say that diving automatically makes you a dirtbag it was your fellow real madrid fans who were asking why busquets wasnt on the list. I was just posting videos of cristiano ronaldo diving because a real madrid fan asked when the last time was when he dived.

And btw Cristiano Ronaldo isn't just a dirtbag because he dives, he has occasionaly intentionaly kicked at other players..

Well tbh trust me tons of players kick out as well. And usually ronaldo gets provoked..

De Jong should be third tbh.

Don't know why Ibra is 3rd. He might be a jerk but he's always been a fairly respectable footballer on the pitch. He's not like De Jong who gets a kick (literally) out of hurting other footballers.

Actually, MVB and KPB were considered dirtbags here long before they came to Milan. Especially KPB is a red rag ever since he inured Ballack. And Gattuso is more likely here because of his NT appearances than because of his club membership.

And they are all dirtbags.. Plus if you add his diving with his kicking at other players it makes him a bigger dirtbag...

And btw I have seen him kick players without any sort of provocation, like that one time when he broke that guys nose. Or maybe you think that barely pulling cr7 shirt for less than a second is provocation?

Sigh.. There are tons of other players who do that kind of stuff, yes that includes messi.

I've never seen Messi do anything like this before.

How is Joey Barton not on this list? Sergio Busquets, Dani Alves, Roy Keane etc.....the list goes on

Roy Keane doesn't even play currently, and surely Alves and Sergi Busquets don't deserve to be there for their little playacting. If that was a factor, why not Dida, the worst playactor in history there?

Surprise Marcelo is in there, aside from stepping on Pedro, he is not as dirty as Arbeloa or Ramos, who should be there IMO.

What people don't realize is that KP Boateng has always been a thug. Got thrown out of our youth NT for it, was penalized a gazillion times for it while he played for Berlin, even got arrested once or twice.
He's a prick.

Speaking of pricks, the divers are missing on that list, like Di Maria, Alves and Biscuits, or Marin, if we're being honest. But I guess he's not high profile enough.

Anyway, I've always liked Mark van Bommel but he is a huge dirtbag on the pitch.

Mark Van Bommel seems to be the archetypical Dr.Jekyll/Mr.Hyde

Not really, from what I remember messi has only had 3 moments of being a dirtbag, the time he spit in the direction of a player, when started almost started a fight with that shaktar player and when he kicked the ball into the stands while cristiano ronaldo has LOTS of moments of him behing a dirtbag, just watch some of the videos that albicelesta posted

Well he's just very cynical and very good at getting away with it. So yeah, if I was less of a hypocrite I should hate him as much as the divers, because what he's doing is cheating as well, but at least it's manly cheating.

I'm just confused about what exactly constitutes a 'dirtbag'?

There are some players there who are rough players, but then there's Mourinho, who obviously isn't even a player.

So does that mean it is about personality? That would explain the inclusion of the fiery Gattuso, but what about the cool and calculated tackling of van Bommel?

Is it about players making bad tackles? That would explain Boateng, but not Suarez.

So maybe this list is just about football people who have been involved in controversial incidents? That's probably vague enough to include everyone, however, when since did controversy equate to being a 'dirtbag'...?

My conclusion is that this list is just a pile of crap similar to the 'top 10' articles on goal.com that promise an interesting read, but deliver poorly substantiated crap instead.

Well, you can't expect anything els than unsubstantiated crap from the BILD in any case (They are Germany's most infamous tabloid, comparable with England's "Sun".) There is even the saying "BILD was the first to talk to the dead body" (="BILD sprach zuerst mit dem Toten." ^^)

Ah, ok this makes sense now. I'm not familiar with German media, apart from this show that we get here called "the Journal" that shows German news and Bundesliga highlights. So what would you consider a good German source for football news?
