Oh god shut up. I dont hear you calling for some sort of punishment for all the dives dempsey, altidore, amd jones have done in the past. Stop being so butthurt
I agree the dive ended up not mattering as the US beat Mexico with ease and finished on top of the Hex. I still don’t understand what Campbell thought he was giving out of the dive, perhaps just wasting time.
Capmbells dive was the ultimate disgraceful act. it was not part of a play, or the result of contact. It doesn’t just hurt US fans, it hurts the sport. Campbell is a first class Jacka$$ in my book.

A dive is a dive and this one is not different than the ones Clint Dempsey takes every game.
Obviously at only 21 not only is Campbell better player than Dempsey he’s also a better diver. Something Clint has been working on for over a decade.
Players all over the field, no where near the action should just start falling down rolling around. Then sit up to see if the ref is looking then go back to rolling around. Campbell has revolutionized the art of diving. A true innovator of the game.
IF Joel Campbell manages to hit 50 goals in the BPL, this comment won’t sound ridiculous.
Embellishing is one thing and what Campbell did is completely an other. By the way Cameron or Chandler, if healthy, is going to school your boy Ronaldo.
Yeah he is! Barcelona should sign cameron and chandler! Then madrid and ronaldo will be totally shut down! And barca will win the league!
But really though, this kid–antics and character aside–is the exact type of player Klinsmann has talked about.
Took a chance, went to Arsenal. Has played on loan at Lorient, Real Betis, and now broke into the starting lineup at Olympiakos.
Watch the confidence he plays with. Every time he touched the ball he was at the defender, pushing the ball up field, taking players on with an arrogance you want in your players.
I’m a big time Arsenal fan and can’t stand the sight of this guy. Unfortunately I think I’m going to have to cheer for him next year as I think he’ll be part of the squad.
I hope this link gets posted under every highlight this guy has for the rest of his life. I for one, will try to do my part. I’m still appalled that when this tape came out, CR was completely unashamed, and got mad about “illegal footage.”
I mean what do they expect. Of course we have the ability to obtain footage of plays that happen on the field. We can control the weather for god’s sake, and make it snow 6 inches whenever we want! Obtaining footage is child’s play!
I have a Costa Rican friend who actually thinks I’m a wizard.
Nice goal, he might end up having a solid career in Europe. And some people here need to get a grip.
It was a good shot by Campbell, but I’m more impressed with the way he put himself in a situation to take the shot. Here’s another crazy goal that I didn’t see posted on SBI- if anyone’s interested.. http://blog.foxsoccer.com/post/77821835169/50-yard-rainbow-shot-somehow-goes-in?cmpid=tsmfb:fscom:foxsoccer
Wow! Hate to see it, but this kid is going to be a big star! Wish we had a player like this.
Freddy Adu?
Sweet goal. The sky is the limit for this kid
This changes nothing, Joel. You still rank up there with Ruiz, Marquez, and Frings as cartoon villains for any self-respecting USMNT fan.
Ruiz who?
Im pretty sure campbell really dosent give a s*** if any US fans, or fans from other teams respect him
Which is why he doesn’t see the problem with flopping around pathetically when someone walks past him too quickly. No shame!
Right, he couldn’t care less what you think.
Joel Cambell’s whore mother should have smothered him at birth. Diving c***.

Some USMNT fans are just plain nuts.
I agree some people here are so salty.
You’re an embarrassment to USMNT supporters.
Keeper should have saved it from that distance, not all that impressed.
I’m surprised that kicking the ball that hard doesn’t break his precious foot.
Somebody send the tape to Klinsy, here is someone else from CONCACAF playing at the “highest level”.
Sarcasm aside, nice cut and bender though.

Dempsey wishes he could dive as good as this guy.
