Tough crowd. We only dove a couple of times. Hell, the only team in the entire tourney that dives less than a couple times a game is England. Di Rossi's dive (and forgive me for coming off as a homer) appeared more like a pulled muscle or something. They're trained to act like they got shot at the slightest hint of pain. Doesn't necessarily have to come at the hands (or feet) of an opponent.

TBQH, I hate diving as much as any hockey fan. But when it comes to soccer, you can't hate the player, you have to hate the game. If that sh|t was called regularly, or reviewed in a timely fashion, it'd stop. And Italy would still win.
