Holland been by far the better team IMO so no injustice here
Yeah, reckon Mexico still deserved to at least take it to ET though. Apart from the last twenty the Dutch looked pretty average.

Going from QF to out in ten minutes must be rough, though

I gather from the thread that even if that wasn't a penalty, it's some form of justice for one which wasn't given earlier?

Decent come back that from the Dutch.

Feels similar to the first game yesterday really. Mexico going through would have been a great story but was pretty clear that Netherlands were the better side. Robben really is having a pretty excellent tournament.

edit: That Sneijder finish was crazy too. Absolutely smashed it.

Pretty ****ing insane Robben was 19-20 when he played for Chelsea. Doesn't seem that long ago.

Except that season where he destroyed the league and carried you to a comfortable title win.
Yes was an odd statement from Burge, would suggest senility settling in, but I don't want to be derivative.

Oh and it IS a ****ing penalty, there is uncontrolled contact, yes being Robben he exaggerates it to ****, but honestly I see very little sensible argument against it myself.

Already twitter is in melt-down about the cheating sport and how it's corrupt and rubbish, FMD.

Robbie Fowler's been pretty infuriating the last couple of matches here in the Indian telecast. Seems to support the underdog and says Brazil and Netherlands both didn't deserve to go through and that Robben cheated for the penalty. He's been awful in the studio .

Feel sorry for Mehico, they've defended so well this whole tournament and I really like Marquez. Reckon Robben's dived on that one, might need to see another replay. Netherlands the better team but I hate **** like that.

That's the worst way to lose a game. You'd rather lose 6-0 and never had a chance than to concede 2 in the last few minutes.

Yeah not to mention that blatant one in the first half, he could have easily had 3 or 4 penalties.

Haha, seems like bloody ages ago to me. Him moving to Chelsea occurred at pretty much the same time Arsenal stopped being really good, and that was many many moons ago now. Makes me feel old thinking about it.

Definitely a pen imo. And yeah, its probably even an even worse way to go out than a shootout. Being so close to the finish... Arghhh
