My heart is still racing. Time for a shower and to prepare for a good nap during the Greece match.

Rooting for CRC!

Disagree, Mexico played better in the first half, though not by much at all. The second half they were dominated, Mexico's defense and especially their goalie kept Oranje from scoring sooner, but you barely had any say in the game anymore.

Sorry Aiii but your team looked awful in the first half. It took a goal to wake you up.

[StopMakingSense]

He's thirty!?

Good lord, he looks a decade older than that. At the least.

And he looks exactly the same as he did last World Cup, at 26. Mix of hairline and old dude face.

 

[clemenx]

So why are people automatically jumping the gun to say that what Marquez did was intentional? It looks like was going for the ball and his foot came in contact with Robben's foot by accident. Marquez looks like he had eye contact with the ball at all times so idk. Just my two cents about the thing.

Uh? that's not relevant at all. You misplay a challenge and hit the dude's leg is a penalty. Intent has nothing to do here.
Oh maybe this is another sarcasm I don't know with this thread lol.

Because intention makes no difference...

This.

I'll be cheering for NED from now on.

I feel filthy.

 

[Tristam]

Good thing he was actually fouled then.

I'm not disputing that it was a penalty; I'm saying that by the time he got to the byline Robben had it in his mind to flop in order to draw the penalty.

 

[2San]

Robben looks much older than 30. I guess playing so long ages you quicker.

Dude looked 30 when he was 18. It makes sense he looks much older now that he's actually 30.

 

[akaoni]

Marquez is just a dirty player, he knows exactly what he's going for when he aims for the feet ever so slightly. Not the first game he's done this and he was the culprit for both penalty shouts here.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

American thing, it's frustratingly caught on.

Why? Lenguage works that way.

Did you watch this game?

Netherlands didn't do squat in the first half and were thoroughly outplayed. Heck, the ref had to stop play because the Dutch players were either melting or crying about the heat.

Intention had very little to do with calls outside of hands balls. Marquez was late. No getting around that.

 

[spekkeh]

Let's talk about Huntelaar, that steel nutted cunt.

Haha actually right after he said that during important moments like these the keeper always dives to a side, but that he hadn't the balls to shoot it through the middle.

 

[Aiii]

Sorry Aiii but your team looked awful in the first half. It took a goal to wake you up.

I agree, but we weren't dominated like Mexico in the second half. Anyone saying Mexico was the far better team is simply deluding themselves.

Don't feel that way. Stay your funky self.

 

[Hunter S.]

Just like soccer it's what we Americans use

Americans say dive more. I am confused. I hardly ever heard flop anything here.

 

[f0lken]

Big teams are big because we underdogs never kill them when we have a chance, Mexico played better, but the victory for Netherlands is deserved, congrats dutchs.

And thank you Herrera, Ochoa, Herrera (Coach), Vazquez and everyone on the team, you made us believe but this was our top sadly and the dream is dead. I am heartbroken but proud of you.

 

[black_13]

Jesus this world cup has been full of heart breaks and last minute goals. I was neutral in that game but damn if I didn't feel bad for the Mexican team!

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

A lot of Mexicans won't accept it, but the penalty was legit. With acting, but legit.

 

[macksplack]

Attack football like no other, constant pressure. No diving, little to no bus parking.

Hahaha

 

[Heshinsi]

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

Hahahahaha You're either trolling, or you really don't have a clue what the rules are. Either way, thanks for the laugh.

 

[Toxi]

Ochoa was a crutch.

 

[GK86]

I should come into this thread more often after matches. So entertaining.

Zoom into their feet. Personally I think it was a penalty. Robben clearly doesn't help with his over dramatic reaction though.

Fucking heart-breaking. There's no reason he should have gone in like that either, there was three other defenders on him. Fuck man, first Chile now Mexico... I'm rooting for you Ticos.

And even though Germany has eliminated us before, Destroy Holland with No Mercy.

If anything we Americans use flop more for Basketball.

That was agreed upon before kick-off, what a bullshit comment.

Keep the salt coming.

Mexico could have thwarted his cunning plan by...not fouling him.

They were sweating to produce all the salt needed for this thread right now.

Seriously though, Mexico coping better with 39 degrees celsius over The Netherlands should not be a surprise to anyone.

 

[puebla]

In the post match interview Robben apollogised for a dive he made earlier Said that he sometime expects contact and reacts to it, even if there isn't any contact.

lol at least he's honest. Anyway, we deserved to lose for going into a shell after the first goal.

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

Sorry Aiii but your team looked awful in the first half. It took a goal to wake you up.

I think the Dutch were taking it easy in the 1st half and didn't want to let the heat wear them down too much. They seemed more than content to just knock it around and pick a spot here and there to push it. Looked like they were saving themselves for the 2nd half and it seemed to work.

Mexico were fantastic though. I don't think anybody wanted a part of them in the knockout stage.

shitty edit

better look at this

I know it's a penalty, but both show Robben as a diving oscar winning cunt.

Wins the CL with acting, probably will win the World Cup with acting too.

I'm an American fan. I was simply amalgamating the salt into one large joke post.

Yeah, they use dive in hockey. Basketball is not my thing. The penalty is even called diving. There are probably regional differences in the US as well.

[MrJustinius]

Wait, flop is the new dive now?

Yeah, I hate this term used in relation to football. Always will be known as diving to me.

Flopping is the term used in basketball for similar shit. Should just be used in that sport.

 

[danreis]

Just saw another angle on brazilian TV that did show even more clearly how this was 100% penalty. Not only Marquez did step on Robben's feet, but his knee also hit Robben.

Of course it was also a dive after that, but a clearly penalty.

A big win for Netherlands, with dat heat. By the way, their next game will be at 5pm local time.
