I know this is too much to ask, but could this game actually be about the football and not the cheating and diving?.....
Hear hear!! But ... in my dreams!!

With one of his dives he wasn't punished - he was awarded with a penalty!
He didn't dive for the penalty, the Mexican defender fouled him, he was theatrical in how he reacted to it though.

As long as robben behaves himself that shouldn't be a problem!

And that is what gets peoples back up! If you are fouled fair enough but don't go down looking like you were shot 6 times and then thrown from a high rise block of flats!!

I agree with O'Neill. If he did dive though it was after the foul and the ref gave the penalty for the foul which happened before the dive.

12 minutes gone and Costa Rica haven't conceded. That's better than the other 3 losing quarter-finalists.

More excitement in the forum about Robben than on the field.

Think CR are hoping to use the long ball to get behind the Dutch defence.

...that's not how diving works, diving is simulation, creating the situation without contact. He brought the refs attention to the foul in an over the top way, doesn't mean he weren't fouled.

OK ... let's play sport without punishing cheats.

Fan of Ben Johnson? Linford Christie? Mike Tyson? Lance Armstrong?

Hell ... why not go all the way and teach kids in PE that cheating is a good idea.
Time wasting is technically cheating, should we ban teams that waste time? slow going off and it's a red card a dive is a yellow card, until the rules are changed any other punishment would be an overreaction.

11 knockout matches so far and 11 favourites have progressed (I think).

Sneijder might have more luck against Argentina's keeper.

Costa Rica are one of those annoying teams who would crumble if they conceded a couple of early goals. Pity no one has managed it.
