Clueless, this was the biggest dive of the game, it doesn't require soccer IQ to tell he flopped. just because Marquez made contact with Robben the PK was called (robben felt the contact and dove). in Brazil's controversial PK there was contact on Fred and just after that contact Fred threw himself back, everyone called Fred out for that, now that Robben did the same thing its all fine because Holland and robben deserved a PK because of the previous kicks given to robben (he admitted to diving) in the box. unbelievable.
A clear PK , please. even after Hector Herrera got kicked in the HEAD, in the box, no PK was called, oh, I know why it wasn't called, because Herrera DIDN'T THROW HIMSELF in the box, and continued fighting for the ball and tried to score. maybe if he would of flopped the ref would have called it, just maybe.
the refs seem to carry a bias in favor of the traditional powers judging by the way the games have gone until now, was hoping Mexico would have been able to overcome this.

As much as I would have preferred Mexico to win, I'm sure any Mexican player would have done as Robben did had the opportunity presented itself. It's an unfortunate part of the game which I - as a relatively newcomer to the game - grossly detest.
After seeing how much Brazil, Netherlands, France and Germany struggeled to win R16 (particulary brasil and germany) im PANICKED about tomorrow. I have amazing plans to see it with a lot of friends in san martin square with the giant screen and thousand of insane people again, but what i REALLY want to do is to go to an isolated cave from 1pm to 4pm and then find out how it went after is all over. My heart might not be able to resist the match
