The 11 most dirty players at World Cup 2010
Put together an unstoppable team of divers and hackers
Fantasy Football has exploded since moving off the newspapers and onto the Interwebs. Nowadays every office lunchbreak has someone boasting about their league ranking or furiously trying to work out a last minute transfer.
With World Cup 2010 peeking over the horizon, a couple of bright chaps have come up with a pretty excellent twist on the typical fantasy football game – Fantasy Cheaters Football. Instead of a picking a team based on admirable criteria like assists and clean sheets, the aim here is to come up with 11 of the dirtiest players the world has to offer.
The genius points system takes into account diving, cynical fouls, waving invisible cards, stealing yards on throw-ins (a personal Spoiler peeve) and a whole range of other sneaky tactics employed by the beautiful game’s worst offenders.
We’ve put together our own team of football’s most talented bastards below (not thought of a keeper yet). Anyone we’ve left out?

Stevie G? What about Danielle De rossi for his vicious elbow against the US?

No room for Bradley of Team USA?
That guy’s got some serious Red Mist issues

Mad Jens has retired from international football (unfortunately), but De Rossi is a very good call.
Gerrard is in there for his fine diving technique.

Mascherano has to be in there, Arbeloa steals more off throw ins than anyone i’ve seen, Gattuso for just being insane, Boularouz..in fact anyone on the dutch and portugese sides if those two play each other again.

and for a keeper – the Algerian fellow who nutted the ref in the African Nations

This list isn’t complete without Cuahtemoc (that’s close, I think) Blanco from Mexico. What a joke that guy is.

sorry but this is total garbage.
you are too lazy to do a list for dirty players and we all know who they are and what they do: the extra gusto in the tackles, the extra height of the elbows on headers, the elbow in ribs guys and the guys who hit the top of the ball so they can follow through on the shin and so on.
guys who harass and badger past legality and use all dirty tricks to get a guy off his game and guys who
just truly enjoy playing football like it was rugby.
THATS the dirty players list.
Here you have mainly a few of those and mainly poofter cheaters like Dirtbag and Stephie Gerrard and Chrissy Ronaldo.
The only thing dirty about Ronaldette is the fact he banged the court certified herpes dispenser Paris Hilton and that armenian friend of hers who does porn too and has that giant ass and unibrow. Ok, so hes not as dirty as he is diseased now.

I would have added a Dutch here, but he is already retired, so no point. Great list though for current players.
