Arjen Robben - cheats to get penalty in Brazil match!
The defender barely touches him and he falls over as if a sniper has shot him. See the clip in slow motion at the 31 seconds mark here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28280527 It's a tap on the shoulder, that's all. Brazil were rubbish at defending so deserved to lose their last two matches but Robben has cheated with his dives so many times in the tournament. Thank God Netherlands didn't win the WC! Robben - cheat of the tournament! He should stick to diving in pools, not on football pitches.

It should have been a red card and a free kick. Maybe Silva was trying to get sent off in the first minute of the game to spare him the humiliation of being on the pitch for another Brazil demolition?

I agree that it should have been a red card and a free kick. A red card for Robben and a free kick for Brazil.
Robben gets touched no doubt, but there was barely any power in that and any non cheat would have continue running. It certainly wasn't strong enough to hold him back and collapse like a bullet had gone into his legs. Stupid, cheating big guloot |

Look at Robben's face in that clip. His mouth is wide open and his face is contorting as if in agony,....just because somebody lightly touched him on his shoulder.
Players should be punished for playacting like that. I'm glad that Holland didn't get to the final because I can't stand Robben and his cheating. |

I saw him playing for Chelsea once. When down rolling in agony right in front of me. Just fell down, not another player within 5 yards and the ball on the other side of the pitch.
So bizarre, like the thousands who saw him do it just don't matter. |

Yeah agreed, Robben is pretty much the reason I wanted the Dutch to fail. It also angers me that he admitted to diving in an official post-match interview. Repercussions? None. |

he was outside the box anyway, but ENOUGH of a hand on his shoulder to justify him being brought backwards
there WAS a penalty claim when he was barged in the back going for a header later on still a bloody ballerina though

People are obsessed with Robben who is one of the best players in the world and absolutely carried the Dutch to the semi-final.

Saying Robben is a diver is like saying bears shit in the wood.

Stupid, cheating big guloot I agree that 'diving' or feigning a foul which didn't exist IS cheating but going down theatrically to highlight a foul which did exist is not cheating. How would you suggest that players indicate to the referee 'I'd like a penalty/free kick, not the advantage played?' It's a split second thing, they're not sat round a table discussing it. The only way I can see for them to indicate that currently is to go to ground theatrically. |
