Wilshere involved in latest diving controversy!

Posted by Zain at 03:39 AM on September 05, 2009


England U-21s edged out Macedonia U-21s thanks to Jack Wilshere winning a late penalty. But according to the Macedonians, Wilshere had dived. Arsenal are already locked in a diving controversy with Eduardo banned for two matches for diving, here is another player involved in a similar controversy.

The manager of Macedonia said all his players feel it was a dive, and they did let it know by surrounding the referee after the penalty was given:

"I will have to see the incident again, but my players all felt it was a dive."

But Stuart Pearce is absolutely certain it wasn't a dive:

"There is no way that was a dive.
"I've only seen it the once and for me it was a clear penalty.
"All credit to Jack, he is very, very clever with his feet. He was just too much for them because they were tiring.
"I asked him to put a little bit of pressure on their back line and he did exactly that.

Again Wilshere isn't the man you expect to be diving. But I haven't seen the incident yet so I'm not sure whether to agree with Pearce or not. If anyone of you watched the match do let your impression of the incident known in the comments section below.

Dude, people should shut the fuck up bout diving. ALL i see on soccer news chanels and websites is he dived, or the penalty shouldnt have been given. Dive that Divethis IVE HAD IT. UEFA MADE A FOOLISH MISTAKE TO CHARGE EDUARDO BECAUSE NOW EVERY DIVE A PERSON MAKES IT BECOMES INTO A DRAMA SESSION NO FOOTBALL IS PLAYED. They shouldve just made a puble statement and made video replays and if they PLAYER DID dive and the ref sees it hell give that player a red. IF not its a penalty. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SMARTER THAT IS? DONT EVEN SAY IT SLOWS DOWN THE GAME BECAUSE IT TAKES THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AS THE PLAYERS COMPLAINING. And they should only use the replays for penalty uses. ALso i love becham when he stated this whole diving thing should end!!!
