But he does; he's idolized by football fans the world over - irrespective of their age or the team they support.

Also think it's unfair to compare Totti to Suarez - a diver, someone who deliberately tries to inure players then feigns his own injury, an accused racist, and serial biter.

One meek kick really isn't the "black mark" you make it out to be; it's quite minor in the grand scheme of things and certainly not something that would skew the way I view Totti as a person. I'm sure you could find unsavory incidents from virtually every player who's ever played the game if you had access to the footage and delved deep enough.

Of course he is idolised, he is a footballing God, nobody cant doubt what zidane did for the game and how good he was on the pitch.Doesnt get to much better.

Thinking its minor is fair enough, but it was a huge thing when it happened, alleged racism,calls for longer bans, it wasnt a minor incident as it happened, nor was it went he got the 3 game ban for spitting in Poulsons face.Don't have issues with dirty players when they get in fights,kick out, stepping on people etc just the type of respect extends to only their footballing talent.Totti is very much in that mould of the rebel proffesional has been his entire career, part of the game though.Deffinetly not on the same level of proffesionalism as most of his colleagues.

*lol'd heavy at the diver bit though, wasnt sure if sarcasm, that write up actually made me realise how similar the players were,never thought of it before.

Don't know what you're getting at with this?

Suarez is notorious for his diving, Totti may have had instances in the past but every footballer has - the difference is Suarez is a serial diver.

lol totti is and was one of the biggest divers in football

there's very little difference between totti and suarez both were dirty, both were violent, both cheated and both were tremendous footballers

Totti was pretty prolific diver in his own right, did it pretty well to.But i respect that its an art which takes practise to execute correctly so absolutely no hate, like a finely reheared ballet recital.

Too effeminate, and seeks attention/validation too much.

Schweinstiger.
Pirlo.
Neuer
More like real men.

Don't get it twisted, Alpha males can cry, no shame in that at all. But that crying face though, automatic disqualification.

Imagine watching titanic with the man.

So do you respect Robben for his diving prowess?

It's a sad day in the world when people start commending the "art" of diving. :rolleyes:

Why do even bother arguing with this Omphi fool?

He defends Wenger like a lover.....thinks Giroud is a top quality striker..now says diving is an art and should be respected.

He's an obvious troll
