Can't believe what I've just seen. Football is the best.

 

[FootballFan]

Uefa power.

 

[His Majesty]

Can't they ban Robben post-match? This must be dive #25 this world cup.

 

[jamesinclair]

Fuck you robben, global warming is coming to get you

 

[Acorn]

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

Concacaf something something fifa something "flop"(its called diving urgh)

 

[yyzjohn]

Clear penalty even if he overdid it. Defender blocked his path. Anyways he should've had a penalty in the first half. Justice prevailed! Huphup

This. I'm not a supporter of either side but that is always a penalty. Ball was already gone and defender put in a lazy challenge.

 

[Askani]

LOL ITS GOTTA BE AMERICANS THEY DONT KNOW FOOTBALL LOLOLOL

This type of ignorant arrogant bullshit should be cause for a ban by now.

You're just another ignorant Americans that doesn't know what's banworthy.

But seriously, yeah, it's kind of ridiculous.

 

[Star Falcon]

Too bad Mexico, that negative last 20 minutes let Holland back in control of the game.

I'm glad the dutch went through, they score more goals and are generally more entertaining to watch than most teams.

 

[SgtCobra]

The Mexican tears.
I sort of feel bad.


But now, its time to drink because next round we're out :lol

 

[GameAddict411]

it was so hopeless for the netherlands, but the last five minutes turned it upside down. football is a very random sport for sure.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Nice we won. But Robben refused to put his right foot on the grass and played the ref.

 

[saelz8]

Congrats Orange!

 

[clemenx]

Every four years, same shit every four years. Netherlands was not the better team today. But Mexico gave the game away like always, fuck this shit.

They were since the Mexican goal. Makes no sense how they gave away the ball.

 

[ZoddGutts]

This is why teams shouldn't let up on the attack if they score just one goal. Mexico went on full defensive mode. Gotta keep attacking.

 

[Nyx]

this hurts.

I know Mexico should have attacked sooner, but Netherlands didn't earn this.

Fuck that, Netherlands deserved it based on the 2nd half.

 

[DM_Uselink]

This might even be worse than the Maxi goal for me. Never thought that would be topped.

 

[Easy_G]

Lol @ Americans that dont understand you cant make a challenge like that in the box. deserved penalty

I guess the Mexican players must be American since they didn't understand either.

 

[PdotMichael]

The worst thing about alleged diving is all the Americans calling it flopping.

lol, that's the most disturbing thing to me.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Fuck me. What a match. My voice.. It is gone. HOLLAND!!! To us dutchies: OP NAAR DE FINALE!

 

[LNBL]

Dcuk yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss, this is amazinggggggg

 

[Xpike]

so unfair, fuck netherlands

 

[Alebrije]

Congrast holland but your dirt wont help you to win the coup.

 

[Wilbur]

Gutted for Mexico; think they were the better side over the course of the match.

But delighted for Holland and LVG.

 

[feel]

Ridiculous flop but still a penalty, sadly.

Feel bad for Mexico, but it's their own fault for going full defensive and trying to hold on to the 1-0.

 

[artist]

So NED the team to beat this WC so far ..

 

[John Dunbar]

Dutch are going to get the dog shit beat out of them next round if they have to keep depending on the ref to win their matches.

by greece or costa rica? i doubt it.

 

[CrankyJay]

Wait, wait, wait. A John Hughes hockey movie with Ed O'Neill?!

Not even John Hughes could have made that movie good.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

The Dutch: http://youtu.be/QJ882QYzr-M

 

[Linius]

YEEEEEES

 

[joeygreco1985]

CBC commentators all agreed it was a deserved penalty. Marquez had his foot in there

 

[Kandrick]

LOL ITS GOTTA BE AMERICANS THEY DONT KNOW FOOTBALL LOLOLOL

This type of ignorant arrogant bullshit should be cause for a ban by now.

All the "Soccer is for pussies", "pathetic sport", etc... are comments made by europeans for sure, right ?

 

[Fewr]

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

That.


Good game Netherlands. Good luck in yr next matches.

 

[pgtl_10]

Mexico stop pressing when you should have kept pressing.

 

[Kinyou]

Robben fell like a sack of potatoes.

 

[DrForester]

Wait, wait, wait. A John Hughes hockey movie with Ed O'Neill?!

Nothing to do with Hockey. It's a Stepson/Stepfather bonding film.

 

[EatinOlives]

Mexicos downfall was giving the ball to netherlands after the first goal.

This too. MX didn't even bother keeping up the pressure. Absolutely baffling. Honestly they were pretty lucky they weren't scored on more.

 

[geeko]

My goodness, there is going to be a bunch of bitter Mexicans coming into work today.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Mexico gave up attacking after the 1st goal. That was their error.

The Dutch goal was coming it was a matter of time. I dont think its undeserved.

But Robben needs to stop his theatrics. There was contact in the challenge that lead the penalty.

 

[fasTRapid]

Yeah, I mentioned that you're a ref. Didn't call you names. Oh well, bite me.

Your tone made it seem like an insult. Well anyway. Ref redeemed.

 

[Nesotenso]

I'm really not that much into soccer, but fuck it, this loss really got to me, it was really unfair

how the fuck? once they went down, Netherlands were doing more to get the tying goal. They had no answer for Robben running at them.

 

[Firemind]

Sneijder's comeback!

I love you, you little bald cheating son of a bitch!

 

[confuziz]

Can we lock this thread please?

So many people that don't know the basic rules of this game, so frickin frustrating

1000000% penalty

 

[lord quas]

so unfair, fuck netherlands

So absolutely 100 % fair. HUP HOLLAND HUP!

 

[Mully]

ITT PEOPLE LEARN WHAT IS A PENALTY AND WHAT ISNT

JUSTICA
JUSTICA

Your country is going to flood. No one will help because we're not sure if your piece of shit marshland country is faking it or not.

 

[ZZMitch]

Better luck in four years years Mexico

 

[ganon]

Poor Mexico, but that was a legit penalty, as was the one that should have been given in the first half. Go Holland, go Robben!

 

[roytheone]

WOOOOHOOOO, Not the best match from our side, but a win is still a win!

 

[Clegg]

Robben was motm.

He's a despicable diver but fuck me he's absolutely world class.

Netherlands definitely deserved at least extra time. The Mexicans struggled after 70 minutes and invited more and more pressure onto themselves. The Dutch were by far the better team.

It was a penalty too btw. He overemphasised the contact but he was definitely fouled. Can't hate on Holland.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

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.

Football, serious business.

 

[KHlover]

It was a clear penalty on his third or so try to get one. Robben and his team should be ashamed they're advancing like this.

Ref didn't give the clear penalty when Robben was fouled by two guys at once. This is the correction
