Where's Carlos Tevez? He should be there instead of Totti.

Now on to something really interesting . . .
the FIFA 2006 Official World Cup Greg Louganis MemorialDiving Team:
Shall we start with . . .
Pretty much everyone on Italy and Portugal, although Cristiano Ronaldo deserves special mention (Figo, Maniche too). Totti with a dives/minute ratio of 2.0 . . .
Thierry Henry may be there not for frequency of dives but for strategic importance in gaining the PK that won the game.
Who else?

Not really divers, but definite embellishers; the entire continent of Africa deserves an honerable mention.
