Alexjc 354 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 TVNZ just finished doing a report on "diving" at the WC so far...up to two hours of time wasting with false tackles. This was the result of yesterday's blatant cheating in the Mexico v Netherlands. In which Robbin dived causing a penalty against Mexico.

Faster 545 Report post Posted July 1, 2014 TVNZ just finished doing a report on "diving" at the WC so far...up to two hours of time wasting with false tackles. This was the result of yesterday's blatant cheating in the Mexico v Netherlands. In which Robbin dived causing a penalty against Mexico. I now hope Netherlands are defeated in the QFs...typical dirty dutchmen! It is neither here nor there if Robben went down theatrically. The Laws of the Game are clear and were applied correctly. You cannot trip NOR attempt to trip in the box. The foul will result in a penalty. Contact was made when Marquez put out his leg in an attempt to impede an attacking players position on goal. Look at Marquez's reaction. He knew it was a dumb foul. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
