WATCH: We’ve done it. We’ve finally found a dive bad enough to rival Rivaldo’s

Stop the search

It’s taken us 13 years but we’ve finally come across a dive that’s just as terrible as Rivaldo’s piece of simulation at the 2002 World Cup.

It came last night in the Gold Cup semi-final between Mexico and Panama and it’s truly something to behold.

We’re reliably informed that there were no snipers in the stands when Mexico’s Paul Aguilar hit the deck after the slightest of taps to his solar plexus.

The full-back showed unprecedented levels of toughness as he somehow managed to carry on with presumably shattered ribs.

Stand down Rivaldo, your title as most embarrassing diver of all time is no more.
