Re: World Cup 2014
It was a penalty. Should've had 2 more in the game as well.

Re: World Cup 2014
And Mexico should have had a penalty and possible red or at least yellow for kicking a player in the head in the box.

Re: World Cup 2014
Haven't watched much of it but there's been some great exciting football. I do wish players would cut out all the disgraceful diving and blatant histrionics though. It's ironic that, whilst the powers that be are worried about match fixing, so much cheating evident on the football field gets overlooked and goes unpunished.
Unlike 'Jaws' Suarez, Robben has at least admitted diving (albeit not for the last minute penalty) but I'd have a great deal more respect for him if he'd stayed on his feet, just as he did later on in the match. It's a great pity that players with amazing skill feel they need to resort to cheating.

Re: World Cup 2014
Robben has admitted to diving. In this case, he should be banned from the rest of the tournament - its cheating.
The problem is with this great gamne of football. Officials, seem to ignore this.

Re: World Cup 2014
He only admitted to diving in the first half, not for the penalty

Re: World Cup 2014
Difference in attitude :
Soccer - players roll around on the floor trying to convince the ref that they are hurt
Rugby - players, with blood streaming down face, trying to convince the ref that they aren't badly hurt and playing with a broken arm is par for the course.

It's not like you to overreact like this Arthur...
If the ref thought he had dived he would've got a yellow card, why should he be banned now because he admitted it. We can't have different rules for different players
