And there is the Bias at work . Straight pen Asshole. Marquez was lucky the first time Robben skinned him, could of gone down then.


Get IN!!!!

Robben loves to dive. Guess the 7th dive paid off. Make up call I guess for ealier. Still let them play.

BULLSH*T. Total dive by Robben. Greg Louganis would be proud. The UEFA favoritism is appalling. Platini is smiling somewhere in Rio.

Absolutely no doubt the UEFA fix was in.

How tough would it be for a third official to check a replay for 30 seconds and then radio the ref that Robben dived, allowing the ref to issue a yellow to Robben. It would take less time than the histrionics surrounding any penalty call. Rugby Union does it, and it works well.

Ya just let them play.

I blame England.

[Jimmydeicide]

Yes he made a meal of it but it was still a pen.

Are you high? Marquez barely touched a centimeter of Robben's skin. He was diving even before the contact.

Cruel ending for Mexico, out of all people Schnejder who did nothing during the game ties it up and then the made up penalty. Nice selling Mr Robber.

[Jimmydeicide]

Maybe my bias is showing ...A little. The game was just balancing back out.

[Jimmydeicide]

Thats why i thoiught he shouldnt take RVP off same reason 10's

Marquez, did stick his foot out, but if that's a penalty, then call the one in the first half where Robben has his ankle fouled. Still, a nice sell by the Dutch.

Terrible way to end the game. That ref was not good all game and his incompetence finally paid off.

Lost in all that is the way the Dutch kept pushing til they finally broke through and even the game. Mexico VERY bad at catenaccio.

[10spro]

Hey, there wouldn't be a WC without a Dutch controversy.

[dougb]

Funny thing is Robben had the opportunity to dive a little earlier but jumped over the defenders outstretched leg and slightly after that he made a truly laughable attempt to fall over a defenders leg into the penalty area. But on the Marquez penalty the ref made a good call in spite of the theatrics from Robben.

Joel Campbell should have a good insight on the Greek team. Watch out for him, they need to score first because if the Greeks do, they'll hibernated in their D zone all day long.

[dougb]

Yep I want to see Costa Rica take this game.

Would love to see them score first. If they do I hope they can do a much better job of hibernating with a lead than Mexico did today. That was poor.

Scoring first or at all might be a problem though....

Samaras starts the free kick offside and stays that way. What a clown.

Looking shaky in the back. Turnovers and open spaces.

[XXXIV]

So lazy with all the offsides. MOVE!

[dougb]

Horrible game so far.

Doug

[XXXIV]

Especially if you are rooting for costa rica. They have yet to have a shot on goal.

Feeling unlucky that blue isnt up 1-0.

navas a bit of a d*****bag.

[dougb]

Worst game of the tournament.

That cross by Greece and the save by the Costa Rican keeper were the only moments of quality I the match. Both teams looked like s*** in the first half.

Doug

[XXXIV]

You have two teams that pack it in. Thats what you are going to get.

I wish Hellas were better but this is what they have and who they are.

[dougb]

Greece have been the better team so far.

The just showed that skunk Blatter at the game.

Doug

[dougb]

Sorry 34 that was the kiss of death.
