re: Champions Leauge Tuesday

Yeah no doubt. I just think you might be underrating balo's craftiness on this particular play. He wedged himself in there cleverly and was able to make it look like a foul. In a last ditch effort to salvage a point and get a penalty kick that is what he chose. I don't like diving and this didn't actually look like a "dive" per se, more of Mario purposely tangling himself up with the defender on the off chance he'd get the call. Worked out and it was for a noble cause (attempting to win/tie at the death) I've certainly seen him and others do much more pathetic things.
