Not a penalty as Oscar is falling down before contact. The commentator on ESPN is dumb.

He looks for contact but the defender stuck a leg out and missed the ball. Could have easily been given.

Ridiculous decision. How the feck can he call it a dive, Netherland's defender is injured so that shows there was contact.

Oscar is going down before he contact is made, though. Look at the replay - before their knees touch he's already halfway down, arms in the air, screaming.

That said, it's probably still a penalty.

Two penalties not given to Brazil. Must be karma.
