His attempted dive against Hoffenheim would be a much better reason. And the fact that he actually regularly tries to con the ref means he's in my Hall of Shame.

I was like thinking when watching the match 'What is him doing?'. I was half-expecting him doing his trademark goal celebration. Never mind Toni scored what I called the killer goal which spoiled my prediction of a draw, given he finally scored a goal to make up for all that misses he had during the match itself. Rapheal Honigstein wrote on the Guardian website of the match and what he wrote of Toni's goal celebration - 'Instead of unscrewing an imaginary light-bulb, he mimed firing a rifle around indiscriminately. You could read that as a coded apology: his performance in front of goal had been particularly scattergun earlier. "If we had lost, they would have blamed me," admitted the Italian.' http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2008/dec/08/hoffenheim-bayern-munich Regarding Grafite, I think I can finally see why you do not like him. And the song used in the video, very apt. :P I wish I know the song though.

Wonder if it's a speech impediment. The delay between Dzeko’s supposed fouls and dives are so utterly mind-boggling they’re actually impressive. Wonder if it’s a speech impediment.
