              Fortaleza might become the graveyard of European teams, recalling the dismal game of the Germans there. Lucky it was a group game…
              Say what you like, I'm routing for the guys in orange, the classic rivalry between them and us can wait until our teams meet......if that should happen!

                    Yes!!!!! What nerves the Dutch have shown. Steel is no appropriate metaphor.
                    Huntelaar does NOT have a good record in penalties at all when he plays for Schalke in the Bundesliga. The nerves….(not to speak of our nerves watching this....)
                    Congrats for Oranje to save themselves so late in the game. Can this get any more suspenseful?

                                Seul was pulling against Holland for the same reason I was tempted to pull for Mexico: Borderdom.

                                Think it, be it.

                                    The officiating was very inconsistent throughout the game. It was "let em play" and then they tightened it up arbitrarily down the line.

                                    Fundamentally, I think the penalty kick is usually unfair. It's so close that it comes down to the goalie guessing left or right. It makes the penalty for, in this case, a minor foul late in a tied game, almost a death sentence. Perhaps backing it up so that the goalie can at least react would make it a little more fair.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      I was simply referring to the way that he leapt into the air and threw himself to the ground as if he had been choke slammed.

                                      And before someone says that he should have had a penalty earlier in the game, poor officiating and blatant cheating do not cancel each other out. Feel bad for the Mexicans, they played well in every game and it's such a shitty way for a great player like Marquez to end his career and such a shitty thing for another great player like Robben to feel that he STILL has to do that (saw way too much of it when he was at Chelsea).

                                        My sentiments exactly. Back the damn thing up. Give the keeper a sporting chance.

                                        And while we're tweaking, no more games that end in penalty kicks. Just start pulling people off til someone scores. 11, 10, 9, 8, 7…..Someone is bound to score for too long.

                                          Americans, do you see us Euro's telling your Grid Iron players to take the pads off and man up like Rugby players? No, well leave football alone then, it's been fine for the last 151 years and will remain so.

                                          Jeez, next you'll be wanting it split into quarters so they can all have get together for a chat and fit more adverts in the televised coverage, or wanting people to run from the half way line to take a penalty.

                                          (just joking before you get touchy about NFL  😉 )

                                          Don't get me started comparing Baseball and Basketball to Rounders and Net Ball though (girl sports)  😉

                                            Actually mega its a global game, and penalty kicks as a way to resolve a match are far from a long-standing tradition
