F.cking flop., I hate Robben, lousy way to lose.
Don't know if you watched the games yesterday, but this has been a very fair game compared with them. Unfortunately, the game is being played in temperatures that should never have been permitted. You'll never get a fast, flowing match like that. I blame FIFA (as with most things).
Yes, he flopped. Yes, I hate Robben too. Yes, it was a lousy way to lose. But, yes, it was a penalty. There was clearly contact. Hey, it's just like PI in the NFL!

Not really sure how you arrived at this conclusion, Belgium has been one of the best teams in the world over the past few years and are ranked fifth in the world rankings, additionally 12 of their players are currently playing in the English Premiere League and most of their team are playing in the best leagues in the world. Much as I love the US team the only players with any shot at playing for them are Dempsey and Howard and possibly Altidore and Bradley if he was playing his best, which he clearly isn't. The US can beat Belgium if they play an exceptional game but it would be a big upset.

What sucks imo is that Robben does that time and time and time again hoping for the call and he ends up getting it in extra time, I can't wait until his career is over because after Suarez he is the player i most dislike.
The more they show that replay the more obvious it is that was no foul, Robben was going down even if Marquez never touched him, and Robben initiated the contact. Van Nistleroy was an amazing player but his bias is showing through big time.
Really tough for them to throw players forward ...Tough on the Costa Rican getting the second yellow card. Compare that with what the Uruguayans were allowed to get away with! And there was a clear missed penalty. But the Greeks had threatened and threatened. It's theirs to lose now ...
As for Holland, Mike - contact does not equal a penalty. Marquez barely touched him, certainly didn't impede him, and Robben threw himself over. If that's Suarez, the headlines would be full of "Suarez in dive storm" etc. It was a disgrace. Really feel for Mexico.
