I'm not a fan of Robben...but that's a foul if I ever saw one. Grabbed Robben from behind and even reapplied the grip when Robben tried to break free. Clear tactical foul and a deserved yellow card.

yeah, it was a foul, but there's no need for the theatric bullshit.
 
and even then, he doesn't get some sort of suspension or penalty.

In the 2002 world cup, Rivaldo was suspended and fined post-match for faking shit like that.
FIFA has been very forgiving with all that stuff in this world cup. It almost seems intentional.
I agree they should start giving retroactive punishments for that shit, it ruins the game and until they do something it wont stop and it has been the pivotal instances in many games.
 
Yes there is. These kinds of fouls tend to go unnoticed otherwise if the ref didn't already give these exact players his attention. By falling Robben draws the attention of the ref towards the situation.
If a feather touches Robben, he will fall, worse than Neymar.
