Cheating Mohammed Gassid attempts to frame Sergio Ramos for assault (video)
Thursday, June 18th, 2009
Iraqi keeper Mohammed Gassid should hang his head in shame this Thursday. The goalie embarrassed himself at the Confederations Cup in a weak attempt at conning the ref into booking Sergio Ramos for a non-existent kick in the head.
The incident arrived five minutes before the break. Spain won a free-kick just outside the top right hand side of the box, with Xavi given the responsibility of sending the dead-ball in the danger area. Joan Capdevila managed to direct the ball goalwards, however his effort was tame and easily collected by Gassid between the sticks.
Just in case of any slip-ups, Sergio Ramos had followed up the effort by bearing down on the keeper. But once the ball nestled in the goalie’s grasp, Ramos purposefully avoided making contact with the shotstopper, carefully positioning his feet so that no contact was made.
Cue the cheating.
Despite the distinct lack of contact Gassid immediately grabbed his face with both hands as he faked a kick in the kisser. Then came the cringe-worthy dog-rolling impressions as the Iraqi number one milked the moment for all it was worth. After a short kerfuffle without convincing the ref to brandish a card, the keeper slowly made his way to his feet and began carrying on as usual.
Disgraceful!
Mohammed Gassid’s horrible cheating offence can be seen here.

I think for all the diving that is done in soccer by far more popular players it is a little harsh and a dick move to call someone disgraceful.

i agree, that seems harsh, cuz when cristiano does its ingenious and u guys write an article about how some view diving as part of the game but when an arab does it its disgraceful!

It’s disgraceful for ANYONE to do; Italian, Portuguese, English, German, Nigerian or Iraqi. Cristiano Ronaldo gets ROUNDLY criticized for his antics. This keeper just comes off looking like a fool. Yes, he DISGRACED himself!

This site has regularly shown clips of people diving and called them dirty cheats, regardless of where they are from, so shut up and quit trying to turn this into a race discussion

Theres also a differance between pretending to be tripped up (Ronaldo) and pretending to be kicked in the face (that stupid goalie)

I did not phrase my comment as a racially charged accusation so do not frame it as such

When Cristiano does it it is not fucking ingenious.
