Cristiano ronaldo is too fast for the defenders to stop, and since he is too fast, a slight touch might bring him down too. And some defenders on purpose put him down too... But he has dived once or twice :(. The premier league has become worse these days. But he is NOT a serial diver!

Diving is a term used to describe when a player often fakes an injury or intentional falls over in case of coliding with another player. Usually a player dive in order to "trick" the ref for a penalty or freekick. Cristiano Ronaldo did dive a lot, especially in the penalty area...

He certainly doesn't dive nearly as much anymore. Occasionally he goes back to his wicked ways, but mostly he goes down because of real fouls made by frustrated people who can't keep up with him. He's matured and improved as a player I think, even plays a team game for the most part. This has led to many, many attempts to break his leg or ankle lately. Above is right. If you want exaggerated falls in the EPL, Drogba and Chelsea will do the best Jerry Lewis impersonations you could wish for.

Well what they really mean is that indeed Cristiano Ronaldo is a cheater. And yeah, he's a cheater--just like a buncha players that have their times like that. But there are no bigger cheaters than them Italian scums! Well, alot of them actually cuz I can stand some.

to dive in footy is to fall on the ground easily through any type of contact or to fake a fall in order to get a foul, penalty or to just fool the ref into cautioning the other player or in some cases send him off ... if the ref see's you as a diver he will warn you, issue you a yellow card or even a red one depending on how he see's it ... and oh yes Ronaldo is the biggest diver i've known for some time now ... but thank God the ref's know about him and don't really give him the calls easily

to intentionally fall down with little to no contact with the opposing player in an attempt to gain a free kick from a penalty. CR is a notorious diver but that just goes along with his overall whining and complaining personality.

In football, it means to fall over easily or deliberately when you are tackled, in order to try and get a free-kick or penalty. It s a type of cheating. And yes, Im afraid cristiano does that a LOT!!

In football it means to fall over to easily or to fall over to receive a call even when there was no contact. Contrary to popular belief if you replay any foul on Christiano ronaldo, there generally IS a foul committed. Ronnie is not a diver!!!

it means "delibrate dive", to fall on purpose without any foul being comitted...or the there will be a sliding tackle from a defender for example and it barely touches the attacker, and he falls intentionally...
C. ronaldo does dive alot, as many people (or most) know
