Once again, a very doubtful penalty. It's amazing that FIFA doesn't understand that video recording and arbitrage is absolutely necessary for such major décisions. It works a treat for Rugby, there isn't any reasonable reason that it can't work for Football.

Well it does not look that doubtful now, but during the match it was pretty unclear youre right. I also think Robben did everything to get that penalty. Still it was ok here. You have to remember that the referee did not see a penalty in the first half, which was there, when two Mexican defenders hit Robben's feet instead of the ball bringing his attack to a halt.

It maybe also just me, Im a bit biased towards Holland.

I agree. Even taking his general tendency for falling into account, I guess he really wanted to make sure getting the penalty after the situation in the first half.

Can't watch a game like that anymore, Howard stopped nearly 30 shots! I'm glad we pass, now everything is a bonus.

We went out on our shields, and they played the game of their lives at the end. Also, the final tally was 16 goals blocked, not 30. ;)

Aaaaand the day has arrived.

Germany vs. France should be very interesting. France is not one of those "we always stay in the defensive" teams.

Germany vs. France? I have a gut feeling on how this one will turn out... ;)

Yeah, the last two times we met Germany in WC ('82 and '86), Germany won, and obviously Germany is (as usual) one of the favorites in this WC. But our young and inexperienced team usually likes the challenger role.
