FOOTBALL CHEATS: No 17 - Jurgen Klinsmann (Germany v Argentina 1990)
I had to include Klinsman's infamous dive in the series as it is arguably one of the most shameful
examples of football play-acting ever.
Argentina's Pedro Monzón admittedly hurls himself into the tackle, but as you can see from the
video, there is no contact. Klinsmann theatrically vaults the tackle, and upon hitting the deck,
writhes around in apparent agony, his body squirming as if he's having some kind of seizure.
