im tired of watching these assholes' acting class on the field. even no contact they crawled and looked at the ref.

yeah me too, but that's part of the game they say
always makes me laugh when they ask the Ref for a card, how sad.
those acted childish disbelief looks on their faces...Mommmm! my brother hit me, punish him!
i would give a yellow or red card asap for that to eradicate that shit out, but it's hard to tell sometimes and you don't want to give a card when it turns out it wasn't an act...risky
and that's were Video Playback Reffing comes in....and that's isn't allowed.
the game would be so much more exciting when those things are allowed
Football v2.0 is still a long way from happening.

but 14 yellow cards yesterday ...damn
most were justified though, but together with the normal fauls it sure slows the game down,
the refs wistle must be all worn out
too bad Webb was the ref, he is known for giving a lot of cards, but he didn't have much choice yesterday

Webb is famous in Croatia because he gave 3 yellow cards to one of our players (Simunic) in one game on the last WC

But yesterday he was extremely mild, Van Bommel deserved at least 2 red cards in first half alone, not to mention De Jong's high-kick to Xavi Alonso's chest. I started watching the game completely neutral, I was happy because two teams that played the best football in the championship made it to the finals (OK, Germany played a nice tournament as well), but when I saw the shameful hack'n'slash tactics that Dutch chose for the game, I started to root for Spain and I'm glad that they won

haha no shit, 3x yellow?!

but yeah that high kick to the chest was worth even a black card
i bet the shoe imprint is still visible on his chest
highly doubt he went for the ball

but to be honest i find that fake falling etc even worse, it ruins the sport.
it's just sneaky screwing over your opponent , guess there is little honor in football anymore. all is allowed to win.
don't like to say it, but yes we have a few of those "divers" as well
Robbe is one of them.

there should be a yearly award gala for those guys

I hate divers as well, but I didn't notice any divers last night, at least nothing so obvious.

And I disagree concerning Robben, he's one of the few players that always try to stay on his feet as long as he can - he could have fallen when Puyol grabbed his ballsack last night and Spain would be one player short, but he kept running and lost the ball. Probably the match as well.

If you want to look for divers in Dutch team, try Van Bommel who fell like he was stricken in the back by a heavy axe when 30 kg lighter Iniesta brushed him with a shoulder

Ah that pederastische octopus
