So, I guess Brazil 2015 is off then,,,,,,,,,,,,,[www.mirror.co.uk]
I'm not basing my opinion about Robben from the game against Mexico. My claim was that Robben has been diving during his entire professional career, providing a link to an incident back in 2005. I could probably show you a 100 more videos from similar incidents, including the "infamous" dives against Bochum, Hannover and Arsenal. It's about time that the world press finally pays attention to his acting skills. You list three other players that is nowhere near Robben when it comes to diving. Robben is exploiting every single opportunity to fall dramatically to the ground with a painful face expression - always screaming in agony. It's pathetic IMO.
I don't believe anyone's insulted you jpasc95...just called into question your apparent disdain for the, in your words, 'graceless Germans'.
I do believe you're the only person that has come close to hurling an insult, and when you are asked 'why do you feel that way', or 'give some examples', your response is to act 'injured'.
If you really feel that way, provide some examples, as long as you don't feel you are 'losing your time', but don't question why people question you...you offered that opinion that some found questionable and perhaps even objectionable, and you can't or won't substantiate it.
We didn't ask for your opinion but we're within our right to ask why. It's apparent you do not have a reason, or perhaps your reason isn't 'reasonable'?
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.

No Sirree, the thing is is once you get to the semi-finals, you already have one game remaining, from what I understand, the 3rd place (Bronze) game is Saturday. Everyone still plays it though of course, they aren't pumped as for the for final.
Yes, and a Müller will score the 2:1 just like forty years ago.
Nah, he's been kidnapped by a gang transvestites and dumped in the Atacama desert, nobody wants him in the ground............

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?

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.

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 don't believe anyone's insulted you jpasc95...just called into question your apparent disdain for the, in your words, 'graceless Germans'.

The German team is playing really well this tournament, and will probably win it all. And I agree, a very fair team, with likable players. Luckily the days of Matthaeus are gone. That being said, it is not for a reason that one of the words for dive is German: Schwalbe

What I heard about Mick as the "black angel" is the biggest crap I've ever seen. What can he do if the team is simply not able to win the game? It was just a crowd pleaser on stage. The results wouldn't have been different/better if Mick hadn't supported them.
Poor Mick...

If people actually believed that Mick was a hex on World Cup don't you think that they would have placed huge bets on the team he WASN'T supporting? Or possibly someone would have contracted him to wear certain colors that would hurt their opponents and help their team. Me thinks people are reading WAY to much into this and taking their revisionalist history theories WAY to far. Show me the people who are placing bets based on Mick's wardrobe and I'll believe that people are taking this seriously. Otherwise, the media has simply found a fun way to generate some sales/traffic.
Go Argentina... or Holland...
I just wish I wasn't stuck at the office and could watch the match. I found out last week as I was trying to follow the USA/Belgium match that (for my novice ears anyway), international football is really hard to follow and quite boring on the radio. Much more fun on TV or in person.
Peace,
Mr DJA

I gladly accept Germany winning the whole World Cup if they do. They deserve it. I even found a Klinsmann West German shirt once. The current German team and since Klinsmann has been very sporting.
All that said just like France ripping off Republic of Ireland in 2009, if there are things that tick one off that teams have done in the past, that's fair game. I somewhere in this thread apologized for saying any negatives on Germany but that doesn't change the fact that the old West German side like some things other teams including Argentina and Italy have done are very questionable. That's just the way it is.
