Oscar clearly was going to ground before he'd been touched... it's a dive and a great decision.
Day 24: Brazil vs. Netherlands
- Thread starter gooDevil
- Start date
Dive, doesn't matter about the contact. Oscar's face was already writhing in pain before the contact and he fell into Blind's knee.
One of those ones where I think we need a "penalty but also a yellow to the attacker" rules.

Ref turned a blind eye to that one
I agree it was a dive but I can't believe the ref didn't give a pen.
Oscar's been hitting the ground at the first opportunity all game long. No wonder it's come back to bite him.
Nowdays that's usually a penalty. Although I hate it when they look for contact and go down as if they were shot at. Certainly the yellow fits into the refs context of weird decisions.
It is not clear that there was contact there.
That wasn't a pen. Oscar was down before The contact was made. Stupidly if he stayed up it was a clear pen.
That's what he gets for flopping around like that.
But RedCafe experts told me the ref was biased towards Brazil?
Great ref. Oscar dived.
brazil defending is amateur
Since when does contact=penalty? Oscar instigated the contact.
Had Oscar didn't dived he would have gotten his penalty.
Oscar began going down before there was any impact with Blind. Great call by the ref.
poor from RvP
Rvp is horrible in the knock out stages.
I'm sorry but RVP has been well off it this tournament after that great first game.
I think this Hamad character has spent too many hours on Call of Duty, his first few posts were about 'newbs' and now van Persie is accused of 'camping'.
OMG Hulk coming on 
Pen all day long.....
Steroid man coming on.
Ref cards player for diving when the defender supposedly made no contact. Defender then has to leave the field, the contact was so severe...12th time RVP goes in offside in this WC
Can't wait to see all of Van Persie's offsides next season.
Wijnaldum. Idiot.
He shoots from the left,
He shoots from the riiiiiiight,
That boy Van Persie,
He's offside anyway.

I genuinely, hand on heart, didn't even realise Jo had started
How did Luiz get away with that?
This referee is another one out of his depth.
Luiz doing a bit of defending - when the ball is dead.
Hulk!
I didn't say it was a penalty, I said it wasn't a dive.
lol dutch player goes down after the whistle, but play is stopped for a sub anyway.
the always shit Ramires is off.......
We are not in minority reports guys, Oscar should have wait instead of diving.
Agreed and he stood well up to LVG's expectations.
Rvp was offside again when he asked like a madman for the ball in that latest attack. He didn't get it luckily.
I think the Dutch tactics are to allow the 'camping' by RVP & Robben, the other 8 do the defending
