[Draconian]

It's the Champions League final all over again. Can't score one goal and then Park the bus against superior teams. It will eventually bite you in the ass.

Yeah! Like in 2012!

 

[pgtl_10]

because you can't press like that for a full 90 minutes. NED just had to weather the storm in the beginning.

No, Mexico could gradually keep putting pressure on Holland. They chose to not pressure so Holland tightened the screws.

 

[WorldStar]

clearly a penalty

Mexico plays so dirty. rather disgusting tbh.

 

[Guamu]

I feel for you MexicoGAF, but watching Marquez of all people fuck up was quite an enjoyable sight.

Why? Because is common ocurrence?

 

[Arjen]

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.

Lololololol

 

[STILLethal]

Shit man...i don't really know.

Looks like stepped on his toes but I'm not sure from that angle.

Either way - Robben wins a fuken Oscar for that.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Now will Costa Rica be able to handle Greece's unique soccer abilities?

 

[Kikujiro]

I feel bad for Mexico, they played well, but that was a penalty and during the first half there was a way more clearer penalty for Holland not given.

Mexico was up 1-0 till the 88' and lost, that's football for you.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

That was kind of heartbreaking. Oh well. I'm proud of my team and what they accomplished.

And I wish to congratulate both the dutch team and dutch-GAF. Best of luck to you guys and a hug all the way from here.

 

[Tristam]

I guess it was a penalty, but man Robben was going for it the whole time, the cunt. He took a tremendously heavy touch on the ball (right into 3 Mexican defenders) with no intention of ever trying to hold on to it so he could pass it off or shoot. Like I said, he was going for the flop the whole time.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Unbelievable, he steps out of bounds and the ref does nothing.

 

[Tugatrix]

That's a penalty and of course Robben floped for drama effect, but still a penalty

 

[Roude Leiw]

Unbelievable, he steps out of bounds and the ref does nothing.

not sure if sarcasm or not :O

robben is really good at acting though (was a penalty nevertheless).

 

[StriKeVillain]

Unbelievable, he steps out of bounds and the ref does nothing.

:lol

 

[nOoblet16]

That's a penalty..not a dive, anyone who says otherwise (including the pundits on ITV) are wrong.

 

[Raven Prime]

So he stood on his foot, clearly a penalty. End of discussion.

 

[BronsonLee]

Mully with the water warfare!

*stands in middle waving around pistol*
WHO DO I SHOOT
WHO IS RIGHT HERE

 

[krishian]

Unbelievable, he steps out of bounds and the ref does nothing.

I don't even know what sarcasm is anymore

 

[valeo]

people that have been legitimately tripped don't lift their arms above their head like a fairy. They put the arms down to brace the fall intuitively.

Frigging careless tackle in the box though.

No one is debating Robben elaborated the contact made ; but hey, maybe if it didn't the ref would've missed it ? Still a pen either way.

 

[2San]

Every dutchman is required to pass a swimming exam btw. So let dat flood come!

And it explains why Robben is so proficient at diving.

Just saying.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

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.

I am really curious now. I mean Genuinely curious, is the Netherlands in jeopardy of flooding? I think it's geographically located at a safe part of the world, what does this mean? Seriously....

Wouldn't this comment be more akin to Venice or something?

 

[Tecl0n]

Unbelievable, he steps out of bounds and the ref does nothing.

:dead

 

[ronito]

Lol dumb

See: Left foot.

 

[iqubal]

Argentina fan chiming in.

That was 100% a penalty. He took out his foot with a silly challenge.

 

[Pakoe]

Unbelievable, he steps out of bounds and the ref does nothing.

Lold

 

[Overdoziz]

And while i believe there is a contact by Marquez and therefore a penalty. Robben falls like he was shot. More grounds to believe he was diving

Yeah, those two legs up in the air always give it away.

 

[Raist]

Good job removing the previous 0.5s that show the actual foul

 

[Negaiido]

Quoting it for every thread... this shit needs modding.

Lmao

 

[silver.tongue]

Like Chile against Brazil yesterday, jugaron como nunca y perdieron como siempre.

Mexico fucking sucks?

Still that's some wicked kind of coincidence. Allways the same round since 1994? Damn...

So... not a pnealty?

Here's what I think... he was touched, so it was a penalty. He dived afterwards to make sure the reff called. Still a penalty tho.

 

[Rockyrock]

Unbelievable, he steps out of bounds and the ref does nothing.

sarcasm?

 

[Dance Inferno]

All this talk about whether or not Robben flopped...

Can we take a minute to talk about what a fucking MISSILE that Sneijder goal was?! That ball wasn't getting stopped by nobody.

 

[ZZMitch]

Unbelievable, he steps out of bounds and the ref does nothing.

Lol wut??

 

[Juicy Bob]

This is such an unbelieveable World Cup.

You just know the final is going to be a snoozefest after this.

 

[Timbuktu]

Oh shut up Chiles. Costa Rica have no chance against holland?

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Unbelievable, he steps out of bounds and the ref does nothing.

Looooool.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Embellished but that is a penalty. Netherlads calmly put Mexico down.

They won that 2nd half.

 

[cafemomo]

Who else is playing today?

 

[daripad]

My whole life us about doing everything wrong. Dat mexican complex

 

[StopMakingSense]

Some of the replays are so slow it's actually gotten hard to see the fouls, I've found.

 

[number11]

100% dive.. But still 100% a pen

 

[sestrugen]

Unbelievable, he steps out of bounds and the ref does nothing.

You can step outside of the field and the play goes through

 

[NYCmetsfan]

This is like the 5th time people have posted offensive stuff after a loss in WC threads.

They've all apologized. Its the world cup, the rawest emotions come out. Its not OK but its not the worst thing in the world and pretending like the posters are horrible people

Its not like its personal

 

[feel]

Marquez fucked up so hard, you can't give Robben any excuse..

 

[Eyeh4wk]

Yeah, Robben acted the shit out of that little trip.

 

[TheFatOne]

Ok, was there contact?

you're missing the entire point of my post. If you could somehow poll every football fan on the planet some percentage are going to disagree with the call. Doesn't mean they are new to the sport.

 

[Horseress]

Unbelievable, he steps out of bounds and the ref does nothing.

HAHAHAHA you guuuuys

thisisneogaf.gif

 

[Fjordson]

There was contact obviously and Robben put his swimming trunks and goggles on and went diving. I'm not sure if it was a foul though. Doesn't matter cuz the one in the first half was. The timing for Mexico sucks though.

Lmfao. Laughed hard at his. Agreed on all counts, though.

 

[valeo]

I guess it was a penalty, but man Robben was going for it the whole time, the cunt. He took a tremendously heavy touch on the ball (right into 3 Mexican defenders) with no intention of ever trying to hold on to it so he could pass it off or shoot. Like I said, he was going for the flop the whole time.

Then why did he avoid the first lunge and run to the byline instead of flopping? Ffs.

I have the feels for Mexico but saying it wasn't a pen is just avoidance of the fact y our team fucked it.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

It was a penalty. Sorry Mexico. Goodbye.
