Man Utd rival fans lay into Brazil star Antony after appalling World Cup dive – ‘Clown’ | Football | Sport
“So if Michael Oliver deems Antony to dive, which he was completely correct to. Why no card?” asked @PBathurst.
@KingKane_9 bluntly wrote: “Why isn’t Michael Oliver booking the Brazilian players for diving under literally no contact in the box? Antony thinks he’s an Olympic swimmer.”
“How did Antony not get booked for that? Michael Oliver is such a joke,” laughed @Barony_CFC.
Others preferred to put a positive spin on Oliver’s refereeing, pointing out that referees unfamiliar with Antony’s style of play might have fallen for his diving. “Well done Michael Oliver, such a blatant dive by Antony,” said @SamJermy.
Antony had been relatively quiet for Brazil in the game. He is yet to score at the World Cup.
