9. Luis Suarez - the Dive of Self-Awareness

To Moyes
To Moyes eternal credit, he didn't back down

You can call Luis Suarez many things... talented footballer, all-out street brawler, the last vampire, serial diver, bonafide match winner... but he is nothing if not gloriously self-aware.

He starred in an Uruguayan advert where he dives, fights, throws tantrums - all while playing the role of an office goer. You don't even need to understand the language to get the obvious humour of this one:

So, when David Moyes said this (look below) before a Merseyside derby:

"I would [be concerned about Suarez] because I think he has got history"

But I am not the referee, I am not the one that [makes decisions]. But I tell you what - it will turn the supporters away from football if they think players are conning their way to results"

"It is generally [Suarez who does this]. I think it is a discussion to be had. I don't think supporters like the idea of players going down easily."

These near slanderous statements obviously infuriated Luis Suarez but his response after smashing in a deflected shot against David Moyes was absolutely brilliant:

This might the most popular "diving" celebration amongst the current generation, but fans of a slighter older one will remember the legendary Jurgen Klinsmann doing it after arriving in England only to be serenaded as the worst serial-diver in the history of sport by opposition fans and the media
