In a sport full of phonies, Lionel Messi never dives (Video)

wow, finally a soccer player who isn't a giant puss

There is a difference between diving and n

New favorite soccer player (not that i had one before)

This gentleman plays with soul … and a bit more humble than Ronaldo.

There is a difference between diving and not falling. Diving you do on purpose. Diving means it wasn’t a foul and you faked it. This was a clip of a great player that kept trying even after the foul. It’s just the chive needs to get this straight

i love this website even more for posting soccer stuff!

Gotta love Messi. A true superstar in the sport who doesn't resort to cheap tricks because he's got all the skill in the world.

What's the name of the first song

Smart player. Doesn’t go for the easy foul call allowing the defense to reset. He just blasts on through in the hope of beating them for a goal. Noticed he still had calls go his way even though he didn’t take a dive. All players should at like him. Good man.

Ironic how the smallest player plays with the biggest heart.

so good i could puke

Hopefuly this inspires a whole generation of new soccer players that don't take fake dives. You know it becomes an issue when they put rules in place to stop the dives. I'm not a fan of soccer at all, but this guy is simply refreshing in a sport full of whimps. He looks like a big kid just running around! Love it

This video shows how futile his efforts are. Put him on the outside midfield position and lets see if he can pull those moves around players and score as many goals as he does upfront!!

This is the work of a true athlete/competitor. Never stop pushing, driving or trying. This guy is KCCO to the core!

CR7>Messi

That's a REAL professional! All of those wannabe soap-opera stars could take lessons.

Lionel Messi doesn't dive…

He THRIVES!!

Kudos to you sir.

I think he grew up in the hood and learned how to keep his balls.

Also need to look up Wayne Rooney, he looks like a rugby player but defiantly plays soccer… anyone who calls soccer players wimps, the man started a bar fight, saying that they trashed his team.

I can't do half of this on FIFA 12

the one and only soccer player i would not call a fairy

Genius! You can watch messi/Barcelona play about every other week on ESPN 3.
He does this every game.

This is how soccer should be played. Stop the acting.

Anyone know the song in the first half?

[...] no Chive. AKPC_IDS += "813,"; [...]

I have seen him dive, but he does it rarely…..and he is currently the best soccer player in the world
