Yeah, it's weird though because it's not only Italians that dive. The worst perps during this years World Cup were robben and muller whose countries play "upstanding" football.
Quite frankly, the English were just jealous at how successful serie a was vs the epl, which obviously isn't the case anymore. Internationally though Italy has a much more successful record and are still much better positioned.

Great arguments.
What has Pele done better than Maradona? Most people will argue that since Pele never played in Europe he could never be a good a Maradona. Which is a laughable suggestion. Pele's World Cup exploits alone should cement his place in history.
I am in your boat when it comes to the Ronaldo argument. Romario is my favorite Brazilian striker.

For all he is and where he came from, all he's achieved and how and all that he's done for Football it's offensive to even suggest they are at the same level. You don't need to be from Brazil to realize that. Ronaldo was a fine striker, don't get me wrong. And they had obviously different styles (Which was perfect balanced back in the late 90's when they played together as Brazil's frontline then. Such a wonder to watch.), but in front of goal no one had more class than Romário, not even Pelé.

I tend to disagree just a bit. I'm with Roberto Baggio on this one when he said tjat the rest of the world are the ones who learned the English way. We're the ones playing their style. Strength and speed.

Back in the 90's we used to make fun of their Football. How it looked like headless chickens running after a ball.
Now they have the - according to the majority - best and most competitive league in the world. It's a shame.
Romario was the most talented striker of all time imo, and had pure ice in those veins. It's too bad he was more interested in partying than actually training, although perhaps that's one of the reasons he could so easily keep his cool in front of the net no matter how big the moment. The man was a fucking genius in front of goal. If he had that drive to get better and better and better of a C. Ronaldo or Messi, it's amazing to think just what he would have done, considering how incredible his career was already.
