So Robben admits to diving to try and get a pen...

FIFA should ban him for one game.


Source? Im on my phone and cba searching.

what Robben said was: "The one at the end was a penalty, I was fouled. At the same time I have to apologise in the first half I took a dive and I really shouldn't do that. That was a stupid, stupid thing to do but sometimes you're expecting to be struck and then they pull their leg away at the last minute."

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Robben admitted he dived once in the first half. Nothing to do with the foul that caused the penalty.

which is actually hilarious.

deflecting perhaps.

I don't know. I agree that he was on the ground a little too often during the entire match, but that last foul was clearly that; a foul. It wasn't something dramatic, but it was something a penalty could be given for because the Mexican player was too late and stomped on Robben's foot. With a bit of luck for us, it was indeed given.

Wouldn't have mattered anyway, we still would have won. Robben would have passed the ball to Huntelaar a millisecond later who would have scored in the open goal and we would have won all the same .

He didn't, a lot of people are just twisting his words. He said he dived somewhere in the 1st half (not at the end), people in the media who are butthurt are just twisting his words.
He said ''I have to apologize, in the 1st half before that moment (referring to when he got fouled) I dived, something I shouldn't do. Just a stupid, stupid action.''



Who dives more Neymar or Robben ?

Salty?  Not at all.  I just despise Robben.... doesnt everyone?  He is a vile little man.

He is a cheat.  He never stops cheating... and now he admits it

Ban him.

For FIFA:  Cheating is allowed. Bitting no.



Can I change my predictions....I was drunk in my original post
France 2 - 0 Nigeria
Germany 3 - 0 Algeria

Ban him.

Ban someone for something worth a yellow. Logic! And if you're gonna ban players for cheating afterwards, you're gonna have to ban an absolute shit ton of players.

speak for yourself

I'm not emotionally invested enough to harbor ill feelings for players, not even Suarez or Pepe, although both of them don't seem to be psychologically fit to play professional football.

He admitted to what is a yellow card worthy offense and I agree that refs should show people who dive in the penalty area that yellow card way more often. I think there hasn't been a single booking this whole tournament for that although there was a multitude of clear dives (even from the english team btw).



My predictions:

France 3-1 Nigeria
Germany 2-1 Algeria
