FIFA really needs to find a way to disincentivise diving/floping

 

[Broder Salsa]

Europe does it again

What a country

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Mexico Shell shocked!! This is why you don't just score one early goal and hope to win the entire match!

 

[Kraftwerk]

What a fucking upset. That was incredible.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

6 straight round of 16 losses for Mexico. That's heartbreaking for them.

 

[Pimpwerx]

I feel like this is the second straight WC where a Robben dive won the Netherlands an elimination game. I feel bad for Ochoa. Two quick goals that he was defenseless against. PEACE.

 

[Aiii]

Those calling a flop, this was a legit penalty, so don't cry foul on that.

If you disagree, fine, you will agree that we got denied a penalty in the first half too, so consider us even.

 

[tycoonheart]

Wow. Mexico had that in the bag. What a collapse.

 

[Caboose]

I guess Marquez whiffed Robben's toe or something? The Oscar-worthy flop fooled the ref, again.

 

[Wind's Howling]

YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!

 

[Sviatoslav]

I actually don't understand. What's the argument against that being a penalty?

 

[fuenf]

all that based Ochoa shit made this game worthwhile... thankfully Sneijder & Huntelaar decided not to shoot the ball straight at him.

*sogood*

 

[Draconian]

Pretty hilarious that Robben still doesn't have the confidence to take a pen. He probably still has nightmares about the 2012 CL Final.

 

[harSon]

It's both a legitimate penalty and a world class acting job.

 

[jts]

Football is dead. DEEEAAAAADDDDDD

 

[Barbacoatl]

Congrats to Netherlands, the better team advanced. Good effort by Mexico, keep training more than you do commercials. El Presidente must be devastated.

Un abrazo mexigaf

 

[Grover Cleveland]

It's a harsh way to lose, but the Netherlands brought plenty of pressure in the final 30 minutes.

It was always going to be a tough ask for Mexico to hold out

 

[BeforeU]

This was goood. FuCk I am happy.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Yup, Robben exaggerated his fall, no doubt; but it was a poor challenge in the wrong place. Definite penalty regardless to how many oscars were earned.

Robben dove but the challenge was bad. Ref has to make the call.

 

[Pre]

Has to be a penalty, you can't challenge like that in the box even if Robben was already going down.

 

[KingK]

I woke up and started to watch the game at the 85 minute just in time to see the Dutch goal. Crazy few minutes. For a minute I really thought Mexico was going to pull an upset.

 

[Eyeh4wk]

The ref better be escorted 24/7

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Ready for CRC vs GRE

 

[Garjon]

It was a definite penalty. Robben went down dramatically but that doesn't make it any less of a foul.

 

[FillerB]

His acting classes finally pay off. Hope his teacher gets a nice check.

 

[meanspartan]

Call me crazy but i think Holland is gonna pull this one out.

You crazy.

FUCKING CALLED IT

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Good job FIFA your team advanced

 

[Amentallica]

how are the dutch even proud of their team? I would be ashamed truthfully..

Really, they should feel ashamed? We're not talking about Uruguay and defending a cannibal.

 

[Baleoce]

This world cup thoe xD

 

[cripterion]

Netherlands to become GAF's new most hated team now that Uruguay is out.

GAF can hate, Mexico just screwed up, they only play D after the goal and penalty seemed legit. I'm just glad Orange won cause it will shut all those saying UEFA teams suck.

 

[UltraMagnanimous]

We need gifs of the Robben fall, Stat.

 

[puebla]

That flop is so disgusting. I'm fucking pissed.

 

[CountAntonius]

Really pathetic how flops can do this.

 

[Esquilax]

This is like the green team on steam sales.

 

[KHlover]

The worse team won today. Condolescences to CONCACAF.

Germany vs Netherlands in finale still alive

 

[Lyonaz]

FUUUCCCKKKKKK YEAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

My god I think I aged a million years in the last 10 minutes.

 

[DrForester]

 

[Juz]

That was a penalty.

Clear as a day.

 

[Karsha]

I'm always with the Europeans but this was a heartbreaker, poor Mexico deserved more,at least the extra time :/

 

[clemenx]

True. But still, a penalty, no?

For me, yeah. Still looks bad and will be everything everyone will talk about.

 

[PsychBat!]

Those calling a flop, this was a legit penalty, so don't cry foul on that.

If you disagree, fine, you will agree that we got denied a penalty in the first half too, so consider us even.

pffft, we were denied a penalty as well. It's not even at all.

 

[Rad-]

Van Gaal has some balls. Or should I say cojones.

 

[Boss Mog]

Eat shit Mexico

Obviously European teams prove to be the flopping cowards they are yet again but it's good to see a terrible team like Mexico out

You seem to have some grudge against Mexico...

 

[Xater]

Robben exaggerated but he was hit. Because of the stuff earlier it had to be a penalty.

 

[The Omega Man]

The diving cunt won, congratz Holland

 

[Richie]

So close, man.
So. CLOSE....

 

[Instro]

Robben sold it, but he certainly got hit. Again though, the ref missed a clear penalty earlier so this really just equals it out in the end.

 

[akaoni]

So whoever was watching with the guy that had 500 on NL, I bet he's crying right now.

 

[lush]

That pk was deserved if anything as a makeup. Hate to see it settle a game though. I'm okay with it though via bias.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Pretty much.
