Watching Barcelona this season, I have been impressed by their passing game, their ability to work and defend as a team unit and their creativity, just like everyone else probably is.
But can they really be the best team in the world, when they dive at the slightest contact? It's something that really grates on me - Xavi and Busquets especially last night seem to go down as if they were shot at the slightest touch. Even Messi, the supposed best player in the world at the moment seems to look for the slightest bit of contact when he has run out of steam.
My point is, the best football team in the world wouldn't succumb to the disease of diving, just because everyone else does it.
