Sneijder is boss.
he had one free kick during the game, it was just a bullet straight at the goalie. I'm sure the goalie peed himself, just a little.

Well, you need to avoid defeat to be able to be in a position to win.
Whenever I watch F1 lately, there's often a discussion about one of the rules about cutting corners; the fact that you are penalised if you cut a corner and gain a place as a result of it. One commentator tends to add that he gets quite annoyed that cutting a corner *to ensure you don't lose a place* isn't equally punished.
This feels similar.
Norweigian papers are ripping Robben apart after that diving show he let us watched last night.

Every, or almost every single time the ball was going to him, a Brazilian player kicked his ankle or achilles before the ball was even at his feet
oh shut up, don't even go there.Sadist said:They are still bitter about their weak perfomance during the qualification rounds
well to be honest with you, it is pretty infested in the european football, especially in the international scene. Yeah, Robbens not the only one. But seeing aplayer as great player doing stuff like that is just heart breaking.Arjen said:
Also, hammering him don't give him the freedom of diving as much especially that the Ref was doing his job and they would get the cards anyway.

Norway were shit. If it weren't for us self-destructing and picking crap strikers that can't score from 2 metres you'd have come third.
were. Now that we changed the manger we aren't. Just because the press is opening the eyes of its reader you don't have to bring the history of crappiness of Norway. Classy...industrian said:
wait, scottish?:lol :lol
because there is no point to the disscussion. yes Norway is rubbish and theyy aren't in World Cup, but that is just the press talking about the World Cup, nothing else.Sadist said:
If anything you should attack the press.

they're accusing him of diving? That's bullshit man. He was on the ball the entire game and they just had to stop him

was norway even there?
Meh. Diving is going down when you aren't touched or didn't have to avoid anything. He touched the brazilian player with his shin to his back when he had to jump. Robben going down on that tackle was just a bit of an exaggeration.Sadist said:
Not that I fucking care. If people are defending Suarez here you certainly need to shut the fuck up, because this compares in no way to that.

I'm Scottish. My grandfather is Dutch. My Dutch genetics gave me a 2 metres tall body and lactose tolerance. Ergo, they are my second team.
If we had still had either Walter Smith or Alex McLeish in charge and not that dobber George Burley then we would have probably come second in the group and qualified through the playoffs.

We lost to Macedonia as well.
And I blame Chris Iwelumo. Why he got a game over Kris Boyd I'll never know.
Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqkShPKgAbw
Overall it was a shit group. Everyone knew the writing on the wall when the group was announced. The fact the Dutch team steamrolled through it with 8 wins in 8 games says it all really.
Norway have an easier job to qualify for Euro 2012 than Scotland though.

You can look it at anyway you want to, but Bastos had IMHO only job to do for his coach and that was kick Robben. Compare it with his previous matches in this WC were he did not do anything like it

there was no such thing.Fio said:
and just watch that we don't qualify for that as well:lolindustrian said:
the Norwegian Football federation is stupid and unorginaised. The current manager is hired and the nest da they just announced '' oh if we don't go to Euro 2012 its going to be another manager who will take the job'' bloody stupid. There is no stability at all.
I envy Danmark, they have Olson for 10 years,
and the group was crap, yeah I agree. Scotland. I think, would [erform much better if they were in another group.

Diving show :lol He made one dive!!!
Yesterday was one of the best days of my life, me and my friend managed to buy a ticket for the Netherlands-Brazil game from the Dutch football association. The game was so intense, blood going to our vains at maximum speed and I didn't sleep at the 10hour bus drive from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth... I didn't cry when the ref blew his whistle but I did felt some intense enjoyment!
Cool bonus, I was sitting 2 rows being the Dutch players wifes (Yolanthe, Silvie vna der Vaart) !

So Robben didn't dive huh? Ok then.
The victory was deserved, Brazil slept the second half, but he DID dive. Many many times.

I would actually almost like to watch the entire game over to count them.. Brazil were kicking the shit out of the guy AS WELL. If he was diving, then that shit was a good idea. Also, his biggest 'dive' he got stomped on.
If Brazil didn't hit him so hard all the time, he wouldn't have the oppurtunity to dive. Diving sux, but it's a part of the game he succeeded at it.
the only dive was when van der Wiel dropped himself (which was completely stupid as well as he was in a good situation to pass)
what Robben did do 1 or 2 times was exaggerating and dramatizing the pain somewhat, but from the first minute onwards they did intentionally foul him by kicking out at his ankles and calves which is seriously more painful than just tripping someone :lol
