Sorry but I have to disagree with you on this one. I do feel that you are trying to prove that Ronaldo was not as bad as made out by highlighting any other incident that could be considered a ‘dive’. And whilst I agree there were many other players involved in simulation I don’t think this was one of them. This video doesn’t show it too clearly (although if you look for it, it can still be seen) but I have seen one that clearly shows Materazzi’s (sp.) left foot making contact with Malouda’s right foot.

This wasn’t the initial contact but waas made as Materazzi tried to swivel away. When running at speed even the slightest contact can cause an athlete to fall and that is what happened here. Also I do not think Malouda has lost control of the ball – it can clearly be seen still within his reach and Malouda was slightly ahead of Cannavaro with Buffon not close enough to stop an attempt on goal.
