Another cheating team wins

:lol

You seem very salty with Spain dude...

 

[Kraftwerk]

There was contact

Just saw the replay, there was some. Still not a penalty.

 

[Sepp]

Of course it was a penalty.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Oh look more shitty reffing. How much longer before we have a game where the refs aren't the key factor?

 

[Green Biker Dude]

fucking holland your bs fouls won't be tolerated this wc. GET REKT

 

[Andrefpvs]

Spain 1-0 Netherlands

You're a legend.

 

[tabs2002]

He slipped, that wasn't a penalty

 

[survivor]

Is it a penalty if Costa stepped on the defender's legs?

 

[Mr Cola]

Dutch back four has been horrible*

 

[Suen]

Oh it was a dive hahaha. La liga football at its finest.

 

[MrJustinius]

That really wasn't a penalty.

It's harsh but in real time a ref would have called that a pen 90% of the time.

Slowed down vision always makes those sorts of decisions look bad.

 

[Konosuke]

I declared 2-0 Spain but

.

That was a clear dive.

 

[NH Apache]

No contact. Bullshit penalty.

 

[inky]

There was contact, but not every contact inside the area is a penalty. Costa sold it very well there by moving his foot out, stepping on the defender and letting himself go.

 

[Kandinsky]

Enjoy that present Spaniards.

 

[Carbonox]

YES ALBA

 

[danreis]

Those brazilians divers!!

 

[hal9001]

Spain is really playing some great football. Costa spearheading attack is making all the difference.

 

[Anoregon]

Looks like more of an actual slip than a legit flop, but still a totally unwarranted penalty imo.

 

[FootballFan]

Alba is just brilliant.

 

[Blablurn]

I thought Italy is playing tmw

 

[gamma]

He didn't dive imo, he stepped on his foot. Still shouldn't have been a penalty though.

 

[Baleoce]

Can't wait

There was a better angle of that replay afterwards.

 

[zychi]

FIFA, there's this new technology you can use to prevent mistakes like this and it's called TV.

But, cameras and digital images of the goal line!

 

[Maintenance]

There was contact I believe, but he made sure that it happened, because the Netherlands player slipped and couldn't stop.

 

[PowderedToast]

de guzmán is asleep

 

[Overdoziz]

 

[Vanille]

these refs pocketing mad monies

 

[sestrugen]

Can't wait

WTF, how is that a penalty? he did a Gerrard ffs

 

[StopMakingSense]

He didn't dive imo, he stepped on his foot. Still shouldn't have been a penalty though.

Yeah, this is how i see it too.

 

[Randy Monk]

Just saw the replay, there are some. Still not a penalty.

Agreed. There needs to be some sort of replay system for penalties. The stakes are too high in tournament games.

 

[FuuRe]

In fgc lingo, the Netherlands = FRAUD

 

[mellz]

thonx goal line technology

 

[SargerusBR]

Now Netherlands needs to score twice for my 2-1 prediction.

GO ORANGES!

 

[Sviatoslav]

Costa has clearly been studying Altidore's game. Dat intentional step on the defender's leg.

 

[SunEatsMoon]

Should have been a foul the other way! Costa was already on his way down and then stepped on the trailing leg. Business as usual, I suppose.

 

[MrJustinius]

Goal line technology just to make sure!

Lol FIFA.

 

[feel]

Penalty seems legit. There's a contact.

LOL

That's not how it works.

 

[ErasureAcer]

As someone who usually doesn't watch soccer...I can see I'm not missing anything through the first 3 games. Referees picking winners/losers. That wasn't a foul in any regard in the box. Meanwhile, some dude in the earlier game pushes someone in the box in the back and doesn't even touch the ball with his foot and that wasn't a penalty? This sport is stupid.

 

[kingkitty]

Useless ass technology.

 

[dark_prinny]

It wasn´t a penalty.

 

[krishian]

Goal confirmed!

 

[Into]

See guys

Goal line technology says that was a legit goal

#FACT

 

[Mr Cola]

Thanks goal line technology

 

[Fergie]

Goal line technology everyday.

 

[pulga]

dat goal line tech

 

[Eyeh4wk]

Just because there is contact doesnt mean instant foul.

 

[akaoni]

He stepped on the defender, clear contact. Penalty.

 

[SummitAve]

These refs are making it unfun to watch. Just let them play...

 

[L-gon]

Sold that dive like a champ. "Tripped" himself by stepping on the defenders foot.
