WC 2014 2nd round Netherlands vs Mexico

[wingnut]

Definitely rooting for Mexico but they've been sitting back far too much since they scored and felt the equaliser was inevitable for a while.


Oh bollox penalty.

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Perfect dive by Robben. Had to be given

Poor Mexico

[Flyingkiwi]

Well.... That's a bit of a turn around.

YEsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!

[wingnut]

Arse.

Very tough on Mexico. Scarcely deserved by the Dutch.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Wowzer!

[Libertine]

What a fuckin' dive from Robben. Mexico hard done by that...

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Total dive, but perfect place to do it so the ref was always going to give it

... helped by the fact he'd uncharacteristically stayed on his feet a couple of times when he could have gone down

[multisync1830]

soft penalty but it was a penalty none the less. Robbin made sure it caught the ref's eye but to be fair he has tried to stay on his feet a couple of times which isn't his normal stance.
Shame for mexico but heyho

[wingnut]

Balls.

Got to feel for Mexico. Out at the second round for the umpteenth time.

Oh and Holland's keeper is utter mince.

[Libertine]

Ironically when Robben actually deserved to have a call made was towards the end of the first half. The one given to decide the game should not have been and Robben should have been carded for the dive.

[Handsome Man]

Phew. That was close. Thoroughly deserved because Holland had about a dozen corners and the Mexicans kept on trying to trip Robben, but that was never a penalty. My adopted country only had to play 90 mins, so a good game all round.

You're post just beat mine fair play

[brighton_royal]

Holland are my second team. Hup.

[Platypuss]

I absolutely loathe that ratfaced twunt Robben

[tulip]

Should have had a penalty in the first half so, fair enough!

Happy happy happy!!!! Hup Holland Hup!

[Flyingkiwi]

55 minutes of shit, brought to life by the Mexican goal and, unfortunately, won due to a despicable dive that would have made an Italian proud. Lost a lot of respect for the Dutch after that.

[kwik-silva]

Won FM2014 on twitter after that penalty. Excellent.

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Adrian Chiles the only one still thinking its a pen

[Ouroboros]

Despite that they're patently a bit rubbish, I can see Holland reaching the final now.

And ruining it, again.
