Rio Ferdinand

Ferdinand andu00a0 Owen gave their opinion on their respective Twitter accounts. "This diving is a joke/embarrassing," tweeted Ferdinand. "When Pedro watches that do you think he'll think, 'What was I doing?' Rugby players must laugh at football."


Michael Owen

Owen tweeted: "Alves' actions won't please many as if he had got straight up it would have been a yellow card."
