When Romeu retires his highlight reel is just going to be a mix of taking people out for a yellow card and monstrous tackles like that. Love it.
Definitely a dive, but the kind that get given all the time. Particularly blatant though. Would be very happy if all those kinds of 'Attacker kicks defender's legs' or 'Attacker takes contact to upper body that causes one of their legs to go limp and makes them tumble' stop getting given. The key to any dive is always the legs, it's very easy to throw your body weight forwards, but very hard to trip yourself or pretend to be tripped whilst having your legs move naturally. Drives me mad the amount of fouls that are brushed off because of there being 'contact' despite the fact one of the attacker's feet is en pointe before any touch is made.
