I Didn’t Think Soccer Did This

By now you’ve seen the Dida super-flop, which has the remarkable distinction of being the most egregious example of soccer. Just to remind you, here it is.

Well, now Dida is being suspended. For faking an injury. Just a reminder, this is soccer.

AC Milan goalkeeper Dida was suspended for two Champions League matches Thursday for pretending to be injured after being touched by a Celtic fan who ran onto the field.

The incident occurred last week when the Scottish team beat Milan 2-1 in Glasgow. A fan ran onto the field late in the 90th minute and made what appeared to be minimal contact with Dida.

Is this a step towards diving reform. Probably not, but one can hope. And who really gives a shit if they suspend Dida. She hasn’t done anything since that Eminem song about that crazy fan and the cold tea.
