Luis Suarez
When it comes to the players who do every kind of funny and misbehaving thing, Luis Suarez always makes it here. Luis is Uruguay striker and does what he thinks is the best for his team. He has been criticized for his dive in the match against Liverpool. No doubt that his dives are craziest and he is a worst diver.

It has become such a habit of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder that his own manager has called him out on this. But it is not like that stopped him from repeating the same. He has been warned for making this kind of unconscious dives by Mauricio Pochettino.
After seeing his dramatic dive against Huddersfield in 2017, Mauricio warned him saying that he needs to learn. This kind of move does not help the player, does not help the team and does not help the game. They have talked about the fair games and being honest in previous years.
