That's a penalty.

Yeah.

 

[Raven Prime]

Kick to the head, no problem

Since Van Gaal's flying karate kick back in the 90's, the Dutchies have incorporated karate into their standard training methods.

 

[Garjon]

Ref bottled it there, a foot that high is dangerous and really should be punished.

 

[MrJustinius]

Spirit of De Jong lives on in Vlaar!

 

[Gandie]

Shouldve been an indirect freekick for dangerous play.

 

[feel]

You go for a low header and you risk getting kicked in the head, no foul.

edit-

might not have been that low though, need to see the replay again

 

[roytheone]

Van Gelder is always enjoyable.

Can't argue with that! But everything is better than the standard NOS tv commentary.

 

[Cellbomber]

same tactic against chilli. Let them run wild strike back when they are tired in the second half.

Mexico City (Azteca Stadium) is hotter with worse air quality at altitude. They are not tiring out anytime soon.

 

[Draconian]

This ref's not going to call jack on the Dutch all day.

 

[rawd]

Ref is clearly drunk

 

[Chakan]

Euro TV time.

In USA 1994, matches were played at noon. It was even hotter, but not as humid.

Yeah, problem is the humidity. It makes the heat even worse. Like a pressure pan.

 

[Incognito]

Probably already been said, but these espn commentators are horrendous. Switching to univision..

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Played advantage on the RObben dive, lol.

 

[alterno69]

You go for a low header and you risk getting kicked in the head, no foul.

Lol sure

 

[CurlySaysX]

Roben! blown over by a gust of wind.

 

[Overdoziz]

Ref bit slow there haha

 

[Pumpkin King]

This ref isn't calling anything.

 

[spekkeh]

Shouldve been an indirect freekick for dangerous play.

This man knows the rules.

 

[Courage]

Wait, is this a no holds barred match?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Ref gives literally not one fuck.

Someone check and make sure he actually has a whistle

 

[GraveRobberX]

The fuck is going on with this referee?

 

[Creamium]

Wtf is wrong with this ref lol

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Ref is consistent at least.

 

[Magilla]

Spirit of De Jong lives on in Vlaar!

De Jong is too classy to kick them in the face. He aims respectfully for the heart.

 

[Irminsul]

Shouldve been an indirect freekick for dangerous play.

Yup. No penalty, but it definitely was dangerous play.

 

[SliceSabre]

Ref has swallowed his whistle.

 

[Dany]

This ref is blind.

 

[pulga]

Nice dive there, Arjen.

 

[sestrugen]

You go for a low header and you risk getting kicked in the head, no foul.

His foot was on his chest, how is that a low header?

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

I think the ref was about to give a foul against Robben for the dive, but Mexico had it so he played advantage. Not too crazy.

 

[BunnyBear]

Tyler calling out Robben for diving. Good lad.

 

[Gandie]

This man knows the rules.

Too bad Proenca sucks ass ;_;

 

[Major Gripex]

Not crazy about this ref but at least he's consistent. Common Mexico, lets do it for CONCACAF!

 

[Kandinsky]

Damn just woke up, vamos Mexico lindo y querido.

 

[Raven Prime]

same tactic against chilli. Let them run wild strike back when they are tired in the second half.

Problem is they have been training with these guys - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnwIKZhrdt4

 

[SgtCobra]

Cillessen pffff

 

[Juz]

Cillessen is shit

 

[silver.tongue]

Wtf was that keeper doing?

 

[maniac-kun]

Stupid refs this world cup.

 

[Courage]

He could have caught that.

 

[Santiako]

This gk is terribad.

 

[SHarris78]

FFS get Vorm on

 

[WAR recon zero]

Yurop babbies cannot play in moderate heat?

 

[gloomy]

Ned keeper doesn't look confident at all.

 

[Overdoziz]

Cillessen is shit

He's been pretty good in the matches so far, but I think the heat's getting to him or something lmao

 

[rawd]

Proenca hasn't called shit but someone had an eyelash in their eye STOP THE PLAY

 

[TCRS]

 

[BunnyBear]

He could have caught that.

Bullshit, that was moving ALOT in the air.

 

[mellz]

Tyler calling out Robben for diving. Good lad.

Ops quoted wrong post meh

 

[Mesousa]
