How that wasn't a red is beyond me.

Should have definitely been a red, clearly inhibited a goal scoring opportunity (certainty) and on purpose.

Brazil gonna get hurt.

I can see how the ref only gave a yellow, but it shouldn't have been a PK.

Why no PK? He pretty clearly inhibited him potentially scoring, deep in their territory.

Because the foul occurred outside the box.

Eh, this is one of those times where he should have gotten a PK even if the initial contact was outside of the box. He would have scored if he wasn't inhibited, and a red card should have been awarded.

I feel like he awarded the PK to avoid giving the red, but that was as clear cut of a red as I've ever seen.

It should have been a red and no PK. Even if you give a yellow, that was not a PK.

I think the ref only gave a yellow because he thought the CB was in better position than he actually was.

Thar she blows. Brazil needs some serious help on defense. What the hell.

Going to start referring these Brazilians to the government for child abuse.

No child should view this kind of pounding.

Agreed.

Not a penalty and a should have been a red.

Eh, I would have probably given the the PK and a red, but I think it was close enough even if he didn't exactly get contact inside the plane.

Also, I think Brazil has some terrible zone coverage. They have no concept of not bunching up.

I'm so sick of Robben flopping around like a whore's pussy on a roller coaster.

You paint a vivid picture, my friend.

I wish he would stop diving the exact same way...at least make it look convincing.

Could not have happened to a better team.

Holland for Mexico and Brazil.

David Luis may be the worst fricking defender on the planet.

Look up and see Luiz charging up in the attacking 3rd over and over again. No wonder they have let the goals flow like water.

And it's exactly why he's fricking way, way, way out of place when he does come back to defend. Wants all the glory.

David Luis, most overrated player in the world right now.

I'm hungry for some club ball, though.
