First bet up!! Lol

[EC Unique]

That's what they get for inventing gayness.

Insurance bet paid out. Match to go to pens 7-2.

[Syferus]

Great moment. Navas was absolutely immense. Packie Bonner times ten.

[ONeill]

Campbell no great shakes. Plenty of lamb-like energy but stupid.

Robben is a brilliant player. The diving is a bugger but he's carrying the Dutch.

[BennyCake]

The diving is a bugger? It's a fecking disgrace. Cheated a team out of a QF place. You can't defend that. Seriously, a 4 month ban.

Mexico weren't good enough to go through just like Chile the nite before, you cant score 1 goal and defend your hearts out and expect that to be enough to defeat opponents and win a world cup, that's the shit we always used to criticise the English about, some say Chile were better than Brazil, well unfortunately they didn't put it on the board and that what counts.

Brazil had more chances, just not a striker worth a damn to do any thing about it, Holland wilted in 39 degree heat, who the hell wouldn't, but Have the players to bring back a world cup, Mexico weren't better than them, but could take the conditions better than the Dutch. As for Robben diving he does, just like Xavi, Neymar, Ronaldo, the list goes on, for the penalty, Martinez only has himself to blame putting the foot into the challenge when he had him covered, he actually give away a penalty in the first which wasn`t given by doing the same.

This is the second time you've posted this. It happens, he should have got one earlier. These things have a way of evening themselves out;-)

if that wasn't said tongue in cheek, then i think its a ridiculous statement. 

Cheating is worse than what suarez done. Robben is a total and utter cheat, should be banned each and every time he does it, along with all the others who do it no matter what club they play for.

Where do we draw the line on cheating? call for corners when they clearly aren't, line balls? Handballs? should the referee book every player who gets up after a foul (considering he rolled 5/6 times) and sprints into the next tackle. I'm all for that but it won't happen unfortunately, even in Gaelic games now

What a ridiculous statement ! It was a clear penalty, it was a stupid tackle by Marquez and he definitely caught Robben who most definitely made the most of it. Robben should have had at least one other penalty as well.....

If you where referring to my comment, i did not mention any incident, i was talking about diving / cheating - looking for a penalty.

Which btw can be dealt with retrospectively with IMO a banning !!!

It was never a peno. Marquez has his foot planted in the ground and Robben dived over it.. Shocking stuff..
He should have got one in the 1st half but so should Mexico for the kick in the head challenge..

[Canalman]

Will shortly be looking for a new telly as I am fit to put my foot through it if I hear again  the "there was contact" comment from a pundit after an incident. Since when did football become non contact.

Very true

Would be nice to see Van Persie and Van Gaal bringing World Cup Winners medals back to Old Trafford with them.
