No way Jose, and the stupidest of all is the second picture already shows that the defender has his heel ON THE GROUND. while the first pic he hasn't landed his foot yet.CTPM !!!! never touches him. dives and ref takes the bait.
He is at it here too?
its the same picture. just examine it closely. from the 1st angle he clearly has his foot still in the air and in the 2nd one it looks like he has it on the pitch from that back angle. but inspect every element in both pictures, and they are same photo from 2 different angles.
There is no way that the two photos are from the exact same time and if you think they are you've lost the plot.
wtf really. how is it not possible, of course it is. more than likely it is a screen grab from the match from 2 different camera angles, capturing the same moment of play.
ok, now looking at shadows. that is just 4ucking crazy.
nope, robenn dived and ref took the bait.
Just look at robben's trailing leg and the position of the ball in both pictures and you know they are pictures taken from 2 different time
So what you're saying is you actually haven't got a clue whether it's the exact same moment or not. It's important because a millisecond of difference makes all the difference if you're going down the idiotic route of comparing still photos.
Stop.
How did ref take the bait?
it is the same moment, inspect both pictures elements everything is the same in both. no I don't know if its a screen grap or photograph. how is that being an idiot, I am just providing proof that robben dived.
I know it hurts a lot that your team got knocked out. And that its hard to accept that it was a legit penalty.
by robben diving, when there clearly was no contact.
What about the penalty that was denied to Robben in the first half?
yeah it hurts. BUT IT WAS NEVER A LEGIT PENALTY. ROBBEN DIVED. if it was a legit penalty, I would accept it and move on. but I can believe there are members such as yourself and other who say it was a clear, legit or %100 penalty. you can clearly see that robben dives and exaggerates.
You asked us yourself to examine every pixel element earlier. I kindly do so, then clearly indicate why the pictures blatantly are *not* taken at the same time, and you reply with this? Yeah, I think it's time to move on. Sore losers are sore losers.
Totaly agree about the robben part. While it is a team sport and every player deserve their fair share of praise for winning, they would be massivly weakened without Robben, and i doubt they would make it this far. As for management though i was realy impressed of both the spain game and espically the chilean game (cant actually recall Chile having one single good chance to score).
that was penalty, i'll admit it but the ref was too far from the play to see it clearly so he obviously did not call it or his linesman. but 2 wrongs don't make one right.
Ah so it's only a problem when the wrong decision negatively affects your team. Noted.
Yes. I read Robben's comments as well after the game. Not sure what he is trying to communicate. He did admit that he dived, but he also said he wasn't looking for a penalty.
no, lol. like I said ref was too far to judge if it was a penalty and his linesman didn't help.
Except you're only bitching and moaning about the one that didn't benefit you. Should have had a penalty and they ended up with one, albeit the wrong way around, you should probably just get over it and move on.
what about the clear penalty on herrera in the 1st half??
I'm always reluctant to see them given as fouls, if you will put your head where a defender can clear the ball with their foot then you run that risk, it wasn't like Vlaar was flying in airborne karate kid style.
see that is bullshit, is there a rule that limits how low a player can try to control,hit or shoot the ball with his head. i dont think so.
If course there isn't a rule how low you can stick your head but if you decide to stick it where a boot can reasonably be then you run the risk of taking it to the face.
sure if the player is willing to take that risk like herrera did inside the penalty box. but you do admit that vlaar makes hard contact on herrera's face/head?, right?
Depends entirely whether they get the ball or not. If they make no contact with the ball then I'm all for the foul.
In this case Vlaar got the ball first, though. Still have to say that I don't think there would have been many outcries if a penalty had been given, it did look scary.
sorry but Herrera clearly heads the ball first towards the goal and Vlaar never makes contact but he does hit/kick Herrera in the face/head. just look at the replay. thus Mexico could have been awarded a penalty or a free kick at the very least.
It is herrera who makes it dangerous for himself by heading downwards, if you watch the replays you will se that vlaars leg is slightly above his hip level. Even though i found the penalty against marquez imo to be quite harsh, the replays show that there was contact and acording to the replays the referee was not completely out of right to give the penalty. And by the way dutch should have had a penalty in the first half. I would say mexico overall where unlucky with the decisons, but it was by no mean scandalous refereeing, and proclaiming that the referee was agenda driven like some parts of the mexican media and team is unfair imo, even though it must have been a heartbreaking loss.
Those conditions sound terrible. They'd be similar to how the teams would have to play in the summer in Qatar in 2022 wouldn't they?
is there a rule that limits how low a player can try to control,hit or shoot the ball with his head. i dont think so.
