It was penalty IMO



Around the Network

That was a penalty, no other way around it. And Netherlands was also robbed of a penalty during the first half.

Despite the tripping and diving, you still cannot constantly give another team corner kicks over and over again. Mexico did not play as well and the Netherlands persistence payed off in the end.

I'm not 100% sure you understand how corners are awarded.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Finally!The better team won this match! Too bad the same didn't happen with the Brazil match!


I couldn't agree with this more.  Chile deserved it. 


OT: Yeah, Robben's was a clear penalty. You gotta exaggerate to make sure the injustice has been seen, ya know? :P

Yes, yes, YES!

What a match, or at least what a last 15 minutes of it. We weren't perfect to say the least, but in the end we got through. Mexico deserves props, either team would have been a rightful winner and I would have peace with it. Your goalkeeper is awesome, he had some impossible saves. It's too bad we won't get to see more of him. Or, maybe you want to trade for our's for the rest of the tournament .

It was an obvious penalty and Holland deserved to win. Deal with it, guys.

1st pen for Oranje was clearer, but this was one as well.



Almost no one in the international press is saying that Mexico was robbed and instead that the Penalty was clear and cut. It sucks that it happened, but it's all Mexico and Rafa Marquez's fault.

He has the experience to know that any touch on your opponent's foot when he's shifting directions is gonna be sanctioned as a penalty more often than not.

And Robben is one of the main reasons why we need people after the game looking at incidents like that. I can understand both sides of the argument for that penalty, but it wasnt just that one incident.

I lost count how many times he actually dived that game.


Earlier in the game he was kicked* twice in the span of seconds and there was no penalty ;) 

*kicked isnt the right word, since no one De Jong'd him. Tripped, maybe?
