World Cup

Anyone who thinks Robben's dive was a penalty is part of the problem that football currently has. Total dive and he's a cheat.

If you think it was a penalty then you have been hoodwinked along with the referee.

Stop being so gullible. See these clowns for what they are. Cheats. Simple as that.

It is amusing that no one was greetin while Sturridge and Wellbeck were chucking themselves around a couple of weeks ago.

It was a penalty all day long by the way.Even the Ref agrees with me.:smirk:

Scottish or not the man as a point.
I haven't seen the Robben incident,but let's be honest we've all got players at club & international level that go down way too easy & Snelly makes a good point.
Michael Owen argues that players have a right to go down when they feel contact:confused: their really is no hope with comments like that.

Hoorah! A goal. That shoot took about 5 secs to roll in. The keeper's feet were nailed to the floor.

Blatant handball missed a few mins later...should have been pen. Perhaps the Costa Coffee player should have rolled around like Robben to get the refs attention ;)

Fair enough,but what is the point?..If you are gonna name names(previous poster), put Fred or hulk, or a plethora of other feigners into the equation eh?..If Michael Owen said this,i agree.

Absolutely......it was firmly planted on Robben's toes. Tripping an oppenent, direct free kick / penalty for me all day long.

Think you may need to look again. Firmly planted on the ground in front of Robben who then chose to throw himself over that leg.

Sturridge is almost as bad. No way was it a penalty. To say it was makes you look faintly ridiculous.

The diving and gamesmanship is the biggest issue in football. Only the blindly fanatic or utterly gullible cannot see it.

I have quite enjoyed this World Cup but the one thing that has genuinely shocked me is that with all these divers on show, embarrassing themselves and further sullying the reputation of football, none of them are getting booked for cheating? Why not?

Algeria causing problems for the Germans here, more composure in front of goal and they could/should be 2 up.

Fully expect Schweinsteiger and company to make them pay for the missed opportunities though.
 
So a player admits to diving yet FIFA are doing nothing about it ?

They have a chance to make a statement and to punish the culprit and do nothing

Agreed but I am afraid they are too busy congratulating themselves on taking decisive action against Suarez. They are not likely to be that strong again for a few years.
