villaajax Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Whatever. Anyway, that sets up a quarter final game against Greece or Costa Rica on my birthday. A win would be nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 People acting like they've never seen a dive before. Not the worst I've seen and Holland deserved to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 29, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2014 There was contact. It was a foul IMO. First part I agree with, no way way was it a foul. Did you forget that football was a contact sport? Feet are allowed to touch within the rules. There is absolutely no way that touch, caused that reaction.not all contact is a foul of course. That contact was though. Its a tackle that he's missed and has caught the player instead. It's a foul. You don't have to knock the player over for it to be a foul. So i agree that there was no way the contact caused that reaction. But its still a foul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It's a shame the Robben dive has overshadowed what has been a good game. Well the second half anyway. I think this one will run and run. Its a shame we are talking about Robben's dive rather than the brilliant performance from him in that second half... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Watching it again now on ITV, NEVER been a foul, ever. Well maybe... if planting your foot on the ground in front of an attackers foot has become an offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 No contact between feet. Robben's already committed to the dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 You have to admire Greece whether you like their style or not. They always against the odds pull it off somehow. Euro 2004, Euro 2012 in that group win against Russia and now this year too. England players could do with some of their grit. It's been a good decade for them.

villaajax Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 No contact between feet. Robben's already committed to the dive. Quite clearly in the picture you have provided he is stepping on his toes and the knee is going in. That's probably the clearest picture I've seen of that. Round of applause for you GTFO VA. It was a clear dive. STFU VJ. It was a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 thats an all dayer the way he throws his legs and arms back is embarrassing but its still a pen interestingly though because its been called for several times this tournament, this is another example for me as to why video refs will never work, between all of us here there will always be a split in opinion on things like this, even with the ability to watch it 100 times, unless you can guarantee 100% accuracy in the decision you cant do it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I bet 95% of people watching that with the benefit of video replays would not call that a pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
