Bakerpowholy shit how does greece always do this
DingoSeanHaha all my Mexican friends are pissed about Robben's flop.
...the Dutch would have won on Penalties anyway, get over it.
Bakerpowlesss go costa rica!
TijmenDalAnd a well deserved win.
.MASSHOLE.I hope Costa Rica goes through, Greece is so boring to watch.
TijmenDalWord.
Naaaaah. Let's match us with Greece. That will pretty much ensure Oranje going to half finals.
Anyway: tonight's game was fucking awesome. And a well deserved win. Mexico really didn't play that well. We dominated second half (except for the first couple of minutes).
I feel like I've aged a couple years because of all the tension...
TijmenDalI only watched extra time, but Costa Rica wasn't worth much at all during that. How were they playing in the first 90 minutes?
.MASSHOLE.Anyone listening to Twellman speak the truth right now on ESPN2?
Bakerpowyup, i used to despise him, now he is slightly improving
.MASSHOLE.He is 100x than Lalas. I can't stand Lalas
El_Barto.Lets be real...you probably dont like any american commentator
HP123for all of you bradley haters, let it be known that he has run/walked more than any other player in the world cup. Over 26 miles. that's a marathon. I bet half of you pussies on this site can't even run a mile.

brotoThat's not an excuse to play poorly. If his poor passes and play are from exhaustion, then he needs to not run as far. And you are a fuckin bonehead if you think half of us can't run a mile.
BakerpowHaha didn't realize we had so many el tri fans. Sorry I make you angry. Just keep downvoting my posts it will somehow make up for that piss poor defending...
HP123I bet you and your vagina face couldn't run a mile under 7 minutes.
Yes I just called you out.

SKI.INGYou really aren't getting it. Stop being a snob and realize nobody really likes Mexico but to see them lose on a pansy flop like that is frustrating and poor competition. A poor ending to an otherwise great game. We all know you were so good in high school bro, doesn't mean your opinion is right. And I like how you say the Dutch deserve to win because of mexicos poor 2nd half play but Mexico doesn't deserve to win when the Dutch played poorly first half.
Also, the challenge was what it was. Would you just have them let Robben run freely? Yes you would since without his flopping arsenal he isn't as good. Good but not as much.
Bakerpow-__-
almost all the commentators agreed that it was a penalty. you by no means would be able to call that at full speed. are you fucking kidding? its the robben effect. there were 2 rash tackles in the box by the mexican defense that went uncalled and by the 3rd he called it. "the challenge was what it was" are you serious? so if i ninja kick someone, it's ok because im just challenging for the ball? explain that sentence a little better. a foul is a foul no way around it...
and im actually still playing, just cause you brought that up im gona tell you. d2 ball, come at me bro. im heellaa good.
acualywasdolanLegit penalty or not, robbin is a fucking piece of shit. He has no natural talent, but so so skill. Everybody thinks hes got good ball control but nobody realizes its BECAUSE EVERYONE IS AFRAID TO GO NEAR HIM BECAUSE HE FLOPS LIKE THE FUCKING BLEEDING VAGINA HE IS IF ANYBODY BREATHES ON HIS SORRY, GIANT HEADED ASS

cobra_commanderprofessional athletes are like highly tuned sports cars. They work at an incredibly high level of performance so long as the conditions are right. You do not fill up a Ferrari 450 with 85 grade unleaded and drive it down a dusty and muddy unimproved road and expect to get to the other side in one piece let alone quickly. A toyota pickup truck from the early 90s on the other hand? No issues.
Yes, you see these players needing mid game massages and assisted stretching. They take water breaks. In a recent basketball game, Lebron was carried off the court with cramps.
I spent this last week running around in conditions significantly hotter than those in Brazil, for long periods of the day and night, while wearing 60-100 lbs of body armor and gear on. I never cramped up, or had to stop midway through something for a 'cool down' break.
I won't pretend for a second that I could keep up with those playing in the World Cup.
Two different types of machines. I really don't compare the experience of some airsoft mouth breather to what I do. I don't compare the experience of a high school soccer player to what the world cup players are doing either.
omnidataI'm surprised Robben didn't just shatter in a thousand pieces, that was a big bloody death slide.
WattsBut only one of the three was actually a foul. Robben even admitted that he dove on the second one, and I think it's pretty clear that the third was also a dive. Yes, that first one should have been a pk, but, for me, if you dive as heinously as Robben does, you deserve to not get legitimate fouls called for you as payback for all the ones you con your way into. In this case, though, Robben did the brave thing and persisted through adversity, continuing to dive time and time again until he finally got that penalty he had worked so hard for.
Let's put it this way: Yes, Marquez's challenge at the end was a stupid decision and not well executed, but the cynicism of the dive from Robben and earning a pk that way to win the game far outweighs the stupid tackle from Marquez, and so it seems like a shitty way for the Netherlands to win. I think that's how most people are looking at it. Dunno if that makes any more sense to you or not.
omnidataThe opponent did shatter, just heared that Hector Moreno broke his tibia when he tried to killslide Robben.

omnidataIt wasn't even Samaras.
I expect a cheeky goal from him in extra time's stoppage time.
maximiliaanWhy doen everybody says that the Mexican gk is so good? He Just got the worlds most easy balls op gets kicked in the face. Those are no real skills...

TijmenDalDid you see him against Brazil? Fuck damnit he was good. Unreal.
.MASSHOLE.You could see how tired Joel Campbell was.
J.D.Yes, by how he kept falling down for no reason.
Guy dives more and harder than anyone else in this tourney.
