CR's own fault, the defender put his arms around the striker and the latter went down making sure the ref was looking, it's reasonable to give the penalty even if he didn't go down imo.

Just seen it. Foul, with added theatrics from the Uruguay player.

Man, the penalties in this WC are so cheap that it's disturbing. A goal in a WC game is huge. When teams start winning based on penalties, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Aside from the stupid penalty Costa Rica has been playing well (surprised by that actually). Also why the fuck didn't we get a penalty when Ruiz was grabbed....this is the reason I don't watch much futbol...imbalance as fucking hell, use god damn cameras like every other fucking sport....FIFA is so fucking corrupt

That penalty was deserved though. The Costa Rica defender was literally hugging him to the floor.

Yeah the Uruguayan player played it up but the foul was definitely there. Just making sure it was awarded to him.
