And gets the better of them, I think his low centre of gravity is a huge plus to a team like ours that plays pressing, attacking football, not to mention our dire need to use width.

He is so featherweight it is hard to tell, he looks like a child playing with men in physical battles.
Indeed thats true, thats partly why it took me like 3-4 replays to know if it was a pk or not (it was quite close), because he is so weak it could taken that little to get him off balance, but even if Barza obstructed him clumsily enough to budge him a bit, it was mainly milking it. Though not shameful dive or such, just close-call sitaution.

He doesnt lack spunk though hehe, how he was fouling Pirlo (not much size difference) and Lichty was funny to see. And his balance or how he shields the ball has improved, because some of the sitautions he got out of were he was surrounded by 2-3 defenders was impressive (low gravity and staying ahead), sitautions where he used to get tossed around like a ragdoll in previous seasons.

If it was intentional, he'd have probably gone for a kick during the play, rather than well after the ball was out of play. Would've been easy for the linesman or ref to have penalised him for that the way it eventually happened.

If he had gone for a kick, he knew Licht was going to murder him later. He made it look un-intentional to fool the ref, and it worked.

No, that is the point. I am talking about physical battles, not whether he can dribble past them. He would lose a physical battle with my niece. In regards to the penalty 'dive', this is my point.

Not intentional for me, from what I saw in the replays.
Unexpected.

Players do silly things when tempers are fraying in physical sports, but obviously not Giovinco.

Yes, he has become wiser in his play, makes better body movements into areas so he can compete or draw a foul.

I was at the stadium when Giovinco made his debut for Juve, and I was so sure that he was gonna be huge for us.

(There's a joke in there somewhere)..
