Diving out loud!!
A quote from www.soccernet.com correspondent. The first comment I can’t agree more on that, spot on.
We continually hear commentators talk of Drogba’s strength when in a
one on one with a defender, but when he has no chance of getting a ball
someone only needs breathe on him and he is rolling around on the
floor.
But then again we saw this with Porto strikers when Mourinho was there, so maybe it is a part of Mourinho’s training programme.

Drogba is an embarassment to the sport, and a prime example of how
it is only getting worse in the best leagues in the world. When Lehmann
pushed Drogba during Sunday’s match, Drogba must have fallen about five
feet, if that had happened off the pitch, Drogba would probably not
have moved more than an inch or two.
His diving is taking away from the purity of the game, and he is one of
the most talented, if not the most lethal and dangerous striker in the
league, but this theatrical characteristic is making him a joke.
