Football 2014 FIFA World Cup

Van gaal is half happy half sad. The player saving him is the player he didn t want to take in the team.

Wow Robben learnt fast

 

[TheMoa]

His diving was way better now,,, it was penalty though

I wanna look at it again. It looks exactly like Spain's penalty in their first match.

I don t want to be the fifa judges who are going to elect the best player of the tournament. Robben, james, messi, muller, ...

For me, there is no penalty but it s only justice after the one at the end of the first half

ROFL mexican players must hate themselves now

marquez did hit him... then he jumped, opened his arms and screamed like he was dwayne wade flopping a foul

I was taliking about football... wade it's just the easiest reference :lol

Disappointing, Mexico played better, but they couldn't stand the pressure until the very end. They commited a mistake retreating and giving chances for Netherlands, that was their mistake.

None of Robben´s falls were dives though, first one in the first half was a foul, not seen by the referee, while the other two were hits but not necessarily penalties but well, three is a charm.

 

[TheMoa]

Mexico... played like never, lost like always

 

[FrostyMouse]

It was a dive, but I picked a 2-1 win for the Netherlands and that's what we got. I kind of feel bad for Mexico with how they let it slip away at the end. However, Robben had earned a penalty for his play today and for not getting one in the first half.

It was soft and he went down very easily, but he's allowed to go down if he's tackled. I was rooting for the Netherlands, so whatever.

 

[Leoat12]

We know very well Robben dives since 2010, we have to think twice before saying that it is penalty when he falls.
Given the history, the penalty was dubious, but I don't discuss refereeing anymore.

The one in the first half was a penalty, though. He was kicked by two different players.

At least you've accepted the reality of the matter.

The one in the first half was a bit penalty.
You know how things work.
Outside the area: "It's foul, undoubtedly!"
Inside the area: "Let's think about this, very carefully, watching in various angles..."



Referees are afraid of giving penalty, no doubt about that.
What do you mean in the last phrase?

 

[jorped]

I would say that so far the best player is James. After him, i would prolly say Neymar ... despite i expected a lot more from Brazil i think Neymar has been great overall.
Robben has been doing good ... and Messi had some decisive goals, but Messi can still play a lot better than this.

 

[Leoat12]

The two teams are attacking more but... you know, it is that offensive half defensive. None of them know how to attack properly and they get this crappy match as result. XD

Still, Costa Rica will win for sure!

It is no fun Greece, no fun.

 

[FrostyMouse]

I'm just holding out hope that Costa Rica can somehow snatch a goal or win a shootout, but with a potentially injured keeper...Ugh...
