So much salt on the Robben penalty on twitter/vine etc.

I'm sure that if the situation was reversed and one of our players had caused an obvious that caused us to lose in extra time, everyone here would be freaking out anyway just like many Mexicans are now on social media.

It'd be nice if both of these fucking useless teams could somehow go out after this game.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

lmao those crowd views were perfect

 

[gashikunFLCL]

The referee has cards. wow

 

[Rhaegar]

Looks like Campbell was being impeded in the box. Needs more diving.

 

[Mesousa]

If James is Ha-mes does that mean Joel Campbell is Hoe-el Campbell?

Well done on the title change. I'm going to rest my eyes for a bit.

 

[Tristam]

I swear some dude on the field is named Socrates. That's so cool.

I wish I was named Socrates.

There was a famous and skilled Brazilian player named Socrates.

EDIT: How do you not lead Samaras through on that...? Clear run onto goal.

[cilonen]

Almost spilled my drink there. Steady lads.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Nice kick save, but I want to see a goal already. PEACE.

 

[akaoni]

Greece 2014.

That's what we're going to be calling it after this World Cup is finished.

 

[The Chosen One]

Even when Greece almost scores it seems pretty much by accident.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Dat save.

Dat GK flop.

 

[kamorra]

Can't wait to see Gaf change its tune when Greece wins 2-Nil.

You will be disappointed.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

[Raist]

lol CRC GK. Stay free.

 

[JonnyBrad]

Superb cross. Great save.

 

[Dartastic]

Man. Unlucky for Greece there.

Yeah I understand, I felt the same when I thought Ivory Coast did not deserve that penalty against Greece, but after a closer look, penalty was the right call. I see this penalty in the same vine, plus the actual diving (exaggeration) of Robben's fall.

 

[Courage]

Removing Gekas and Katsouranis seems to have improved Greece's overall performance.

 

[Draconian]

Give me a break. Anybody on the defending side that falls down on a setpiece always gets a call. It's ridiculous.

 

[Xater]

Did that goalie just dive?

 

[Doomshine]

Even when Greece almost scores it seems pretty much by accident.

Yeah what an accidentally placed cross followed by an accidental kick right on goal.

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

...AGAIN?

 

[Xeno_V]

Not really a fan of Greece, but I don't understand the complaining for this specific match. They may not showcase extraordinary skills, but both are going at it. The match is much higher than my expectations (which weren't very high, truth be told)

I am on the same boat, every time most people here complain about the way that Greece is playing... It is not like we are talking about very skilled/technical players and when you are like this you have to play defensively in order to stand a chance.
Italy has traditionally been a bigger team that was always playing defensive football, but I bet that fewer people would complain about them.

And besides Greece or Italy or whatever, how about Brazil? We are talking about god damn Brazil and they are playing by far the most boring football that I have seen from a big team. I can't believe how many things have change in 20 years for them, if it wasn't for their jerseys I could never tell that this is Brazil playing.

Watching Greece is usually boring indeed, but people should accept it and move on, if you don't like it there should be many better ways to spend your day.

 

[Acorn]

Costa Rica are getting passed off the park now

 

[STILLethal]

Better diver than Robben

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Can't wait to see how many off-sides Greece has had this half
