Adam Sandler as "Cristiano Ronaldo"
While I'd personally have qualms about doing so: these are professional player, if they decide it's more promising to go for a foul (as in getting fouled) than a pass/shot, they will and probably should do that. Such tactics are part of every match, we only forget because in most cases they lead to an uneventful free kick.

Gotta go with Costa Rica for this next match.
Although I'm expecting the Greeks to pull off some miracle bs win at the last minute.

There are people here that think Greece penalty in the last match wasnt a penalty lol.
Nothing else needs to be said.
I don't like Greece's team and wanted them out, but if that wasn't a penalty, what is? None of the opponents argued with the ref because it was right call.

He is a really good keeper, nobody should doubt that. Just not sure if he did enough to earn the award. But whatever, these things will always be up for debate. Like I already said I don't think anyone clearly stood out anyway..
What?!
Proenca was dreadful in the first half. Missing that shirt tug by RVP. The penalty. Two other fouls that went uncalled between those plays.
Lol, Ashamed? I'm proud as hell.

Well: "A international corp uses a cultural sterotype to mock a losing team, an actor that seems to deal with that airline a lot is offended in the heat of the moment, insults them and says that is never going to used again".
Seems fair to me as he seems to be a customer.
Yeah, Mexico fans loves to dress as charros with big hats and big mustaches and later gets salty when are used against them... not like is the only country that does that. Maybe, also, we should reflect in how we like to portray ourselves.

The leg contact came as a result of Samaras' attempted kick, Sio did not challenge him in the least. Samaras went down after he kicked his own leg or the ground as opposed to kicking Sio which he had already done.
Woah, after the first dive there was contact during the second dive with the foot inside the box. CLEARLY A PEN.

All I know is the 'Muricans are still in the World Cup.
My Mexican friends were doing a lot of yapping before the World Cup began.
Si se puede...Estados Unidos!

The tweet has been deleted, so I guess they thought it was shitty and tasteless
That does not matter like, at all.
The defender still clearly impeded the shot by making contact with the player instead of the ball. End of the story. Should have had better awareness.

Don't see it, don't know how you are seeing a PK, but the player on the ground plays the ball and Robben runs into his legs...

Anyone have a gif of that first unrewarded penalty in the fist half where 2 Mexicans attack robben instead of going for the ball.
Search a few pages back, it was a clear penalty too
Deleting it will only make it more newsworthy. Silly KLM.
I was hating on Sneijder the entire match. He has been pretty off the entire World Cup. But after that 1-1 goal he's no longer on my shit list. That was a fantastic canon ball.

It sucks for Mexico, they really tried and wanted to get past the round of 16. Ochoa is really a great keeper.
He didn't miss the shirt tug?

Wow, so much salt in this thread the last hour. :lol Now MexiGAF knows how we felt with the Ivory Coast v. Greece game. 
Anyway, it was a definite penalty. If you watch it in real-time, you'll see that Robben is moving forward but then suddenly goes down with minimal forward momentum. This suggests there was clear contact and on the replay you can see his foot was stepped on, which caused his forward momentum to sop. You can't reproduce a dive like that without any contact unless you're superhuman and able to defy the laws of physics. That said, Robben did flail his arms unnecessarily, which overshadowed the legit contact. But the ref probably saw how his forward momentum stopped suddenly and felt a penalty was justified. I'm sure it was partially a make-up call for the missed penalty kick in the first half.

Same thing here. Before the WC everyone was going on about how he was finally fit, hungry and ready to go but he has been invisible for the most part. Until today. (still like the only standout thing he did all game)
That was a clear as day yellow.
afaik, you are allowed to touch people.
robben could have kept going, if he wanted.

correct about everything
this really is one of the worst moments of the world cup. so close to getting rid of one of the worst teams. it's hard to see now netherlands not making the final. such a disgusting and boring team in the final two world cups in a row is just terrible. and to think there's a very good chance they will play germany, it's just nightmare fuel all around.
Was already a clear penalty.
This was a 1000000% penalty

When's the Greece game?
Filmed the crowd reaction during the penalty while at the Parkpop festival, what a match

Your link doesn't work.
Here.
Sio was way late, and not anywhere near getting the ball. Accident or not, that's a pen.
