2014 FIFA World Cup

[Grazz]

The Dutch grab it with minutes to go against Mexico. :o

Whether you are a fan of the penalty shoot out or not - it sure builds tension.

Yassou.

[Torpedo10]

Depressing result.

[elephants]

Robben at it again, even admitted to diving on a number of occasions last night.

When will this shower stop.

Verrrrrry quickly losing all credibility Holz...

99% of non-centre backs and keepers are divers, Robben being one doesn't mean much.

and fyi I'm neutral, don't particularly like nor dislike him.

Its the regularity that he does it though, whenever there is 1% of pressure from anywhere, boom down he goes headfirst into the dirt.

[My Chumps]

Yeah, Robben's taking it a little too far. Ref refused to give him a yellow for it last night too.

[Grazz]

Agree it destroys the game all the diving, that and rolling around on the ground like they have been shot after a tackle that you know hardly touched them yet they carry on. I hate these parts of the game. If Dudge or i did that when playing club soccer our mates would of ripped into us something terrible plus the Ref's simply called play on then, people got to their feet pretty quickly haha.

[PowerBug]

Depressing result.

I jumped outta my seat when Mitroglou had that one just before penalties. I swear that went in. :P

We should've scored and won the game before penalties, once Costa Rica held on I knew we'd lose the shootout. Credit to them on continuing their fairytale run. :)

When refs crack down on it, un till than most players will do whatever they can to win.  Don't hate the player hate the game.

Haha its a moot point though? Holz brings WCE into it then completely contradicts himself.

Anyway, I don't care. Robben is a cheating K.Hunt. Simple as that.

I have no issue with west coast do, they push the rules to the limit in order to help their team win. Keep doing it un till they stop you. I just see diving and ducking the same. Yeah it's a little poor sportsman bit it's not cheating.

Taking peformane enhancing drugs, match fixing and taking out players that's cheating.

Lots of things people do to win. Purposely wasting time , taking players out when they run past you etc...just as bad if not worse than diving.

Very few players play with perfect sportsmanship.

[CrowsFan]

LE are you just mad since he left Chelsea? :P

Haha oh trust me, I hated him at Chelsea too :P That dive vs Pep Reina *heaves*

Lowering your centre of gravity and exposing your head/throat/neck to opposition tackles/bumps takes balls. Diving on the ground feigning injury and rolling all over the place is piss-weak.

I'm pretty well done talking about it though, he doesn't deserve this much effort :P

[PowerBug]

Only the best in the business can do that and get away with it. Onya Robben! (y)

If he gets caught though (caught by the ref that is), then he looks like the idiot. Until then, hero.
