Henry the cheat

[Junior]

They disagreed that Totti was not a cheat for his performance in the German game, I doubt that anybody was dispute that he has cheated before. The guy has a bad disciplinary record at international level, both spitting and diving at the hightest level.

Agree with that, but not a cheat to his nations & team mates! I hope you didn't have smug grin on your face last night, as he was pants and rightly substituted.

Did not have a grin but as Giles said he should give his medal to Cannavarro as Cannavarro deserves 2 and Totti does not deserve to be in the same dressing room as him. Once again he was rubbish on the big stage for Italy.

Ok, not going over that one again. However, IMO Cannavarro wasn't all that last night, made a few mistakes that could have been costly.

Over the course of the tournament though, he was immense and would probably get my Golden Ball IMO.


Not literally obviously

Neil, this is a post of yours from the Totti thread.


[/QUOTE] Also I did not call him a cheat for having a particular style of play, and to say that is an ignorant remark in my view. I said he was a cheat because he was not selflessing dontating himself to the Italian cause. I have seen him play for Roma and I have seen him play for Italy. Its like 2 different things. His bevaviour in 2004 was a joke as was his performances in 2002. [/QUOTE]

I dont think that these posts identify the same kind of "cheating".

[NeilMcD]

I never said they were.

My point is that nobody could dispute that Totti is a cheat in the conventional sense i.e. dives spits gets send off that sort of thing.


However it is open to debate whether his performances for Italy are a form of cheating against his team mates and country and fans etc. I am of the view that he does cheat his own team mates but there are people out there and many of them posted on the thread that I started that they disagreed with me.


I hope that clears it up for you.
