This dude is such a snake. I love it. He sold it well, but even without his drama that was a penalty. He was in a very good position to pass. You can't attack him like that or you know that it is a last resort.

Costa Rica has got to win against Greece now just to fight Netherlands and avenge our fallen Mexican comrades. Friends, we shall challenge the Netherlands, and if we don't defeat them, we'll die trying. For your honor.

RIP in pieces Mexico.

Least deserved win of the tournament, IMO. But soccer is soccer. Great job Netherlands.

Congrats to the Netherlands. Good job. That was a good penalty kick and just as good a goal before that. High speed, powerful shots, straight into the net.

Still, Mexico fought admirably from what I could see. Goalie was godlike as well. I don't think they need to go home with their heads hung in shame. At all. Be proud of your boys, Mexico.

Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.

Tough loss Mexico. The Grace of Zusi only goes so far.

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

1000000% penalty
I'm honestly surprised the ref called it. That late in the game for a player that's known for diving and also did so during the match.

lol, "basic rules". Yes, this was a penalty. But going by the basic rules, Robben shouldn't even have been on the field anymore at that point. You can't have it both ways. The guy kept fishing for a penalty, which is punishable as well.

Mexico was the better team today even if the second half wasn't anything special. They failed in getting the second goal and paid for it.

But Netherlands got lucky and it's advancing. Poor Mexico.

About the penalty, it's clear that he forced it and acted after it but I think it's a foul in spite of that. Maybe a questionable one but still a foul.

Just because there's theatrics involved doesn't mean there wasn't a foul. Players do that to ensure the refs don't miss the call. Yes it's stupid to see embellishment but the right call was made either way.
 
You'd think at some point that Mexico would finally break through to the last 8.

Well can't say this isn't the first time something like this has happened in this tourney, can you?
