It's incredibly hard for a ref to see a dive right there on the spot, I can't blame them.
Consistancy goes a long way treat them equal so i stall stand by what i say, but i agree both should have gotten one.
No bookings for dives I can think of although we already have seen some blatant and simply pathetic dives.

Neymar is being laughed at for diving.

Fuck FIFA, really. This schedule should never be used for football smack dab in the middle of summer. You were using the 6pm EST schedule already. Why not use that? Europeans can go to bed a little late!
There have been some very obvious ones that did not see a card. This way the players are not going to stop.

He's saying "Neymar you diving cunt"
lol, looking at the average summer temps for the Netherlands, I can see why 35c+ is wearing on them. Poor guys. Mexico are much more acclimated to this level of heat. Just imagine how bad things will be if FIFA keeps the '22 WC in Qatar. Even teams like Brazil and Mexico and the USA will wilt in that level of heat.
El Piojo is inmune to anything.
I don't see how this is an easy call for the ref without the closeup slowmo, Rafa's destabilizing touch was pretty stealthy (if looked at in realtime from a distance) and by the time the slide comes in Robben is already losing possession or it kinda looks like the sliding player is kicking it away.

Usual diving antics of Neymar being called out

Now think of the insanity that giving the world cup to Qatar is.
But I saw it in slow motion and he was barely hit!

Its not summer in brasil. Its called the southern hemispere.
Yeah, they should've picked/built 12 stadiums in the southern regions of the country. Say, everything south of Rio. The Netherlands is being challenged by the weather in addition to Mexico. Still, the Orange will be victorious today. They have got to.

Not for the WC
Advertisement money. I agree though. At the least they should never have given this time slot to Forzaleza.
Brazil is freaking huge. The city where this game is being played is not southern hemisphere, still the tropics.
Play all games in the south then, if this was the start time.

Oh so they'll make an exception for the World Cup? I see. Pretty sure they'll try to hide all them slaves too to appear as friendly as possible.

No logic now, only ignorance and fuck the ref.

Yes... yes you "puede".
No, it's not. We have seen so many blatant dives already, where everybody on and around the pitch, no matter the perspective, saw it for what it was and yet the refs just ignored it, acted as though it was part of the game.

You are right.
Just wanna correct something, it's winter in the southern hemisphere

A Qatar WC's not happening in the summer. Players passing out on the pitch isn't good for the brand so FIFA won't do it.
FIFA will either strongarm the European leagues into giving them a winter WC or we're playing somewhere else.
(This deals solely with the heat concerns and not the other issues with Qatar)

This. At best that first challenge was an indirect free kick for dangerous play, not a direct foul though.

Yup. I meet a bunch of tourists who all the do is complain in the summer that seeing all the monuments means becoming a human sponge.
I've lived in both Florida and DC so I don't know what non humid heat is like.
no point is that no Mexican player played the ball. Robben doesnt need to be in possession of the ball for it to be called a penalty and the referee definitely should've seen that ball went off of Robben.

This. Fucking THIS.
It's 21ºc right now in Brasilia. Why not play the 1PM games in cooler cities?!

Dat wall of text
That is some great looping work.
it's far more complicated than that. there are most likely tons of TV deals already in place which would all be affected by moving the WC to WC. Not only the WC deals but the league deals too. The sport of football could lose TONS of money by moving the WC to winter.
