Allright then...GO Netherland GO!
Dive, dive, dive
Yes - and he has been getting away with it for too many years now.
Benitez made some funny and sarcastic comments about back in 2005,
saying he didn't have time to do the interview because he had to visit Robben at the hospital.
[www.youtube.com]
He, Robben, admitted that he did dive once in the game against Mexico. That was not the moment when he deserved (and I mean deserved) the penalty at the end of the game, but that was a moment in the first half of this game.
[www.ad.nl]
It was not very clever of him to admit that, because the international press quoted him as he mentioned that he got the penalty because of this dive.
If Robben didn’t say something (and the press did not quote him wrong) 80% of the people didn’t noticed. That is why it was not very clever of him to admit. And now Robben is a diver to the whole world. And if Robben is a diver, what about C. Ronaldo, M. Ballotelli, L. Figo, etc. etc. etc.
On the other hand: I thought there was a rule that someone who made a “schwalbe”, will get a yellow card for that. I did not see any referee doing that at the WC?

Anyway, you can't say the Germans didn't play a good game today.
no this is your logical conclusion, not mine. I won't lose my time explaining why because I know too much how things turn here when you have a different opinion...intolerance, insults...that's enough for me.
ok Germany won the game tonight and deserves to go to the final
But Brazil totally missed that game. They were out of topic !
In the first 10 minutes I did not have the impression that Brazil "totally missed that game" and were "out of topic". But ok, you obviously have problems to explain why you think that Germany was not playing a good game against Brazil...appears that you simply use football to hide the fact that you have issues with Germany, sorry, but that's my impression.

I agree about Robben, did he learn this in Germany, or has he always done this? I'm Dutch and I don't like it, I would not be super happy if the win because of an obvious dive. He is good enough, he doesn't need to do it.

Of course he did learn it from Germans. All the bad things come from Germany. We have the worst players, always cheating, most fouls, most cards and less attractive style and tactic comparing to all other nations.
I´m very familiar with football since early seventies. But when I fellow some "experts" in this thread here I don`t get this German bashin.
Anybody noticed the fair and respectful reaction of the German players and team after this historic match? I don´t wanna imagine all bashing reactions if Brasil, Spain or Argentina would have won like this in Germany.
At least there are a few sportsmen on this board.
