Flopping?? You mean like when Melo stomped on his leg?

Bastos kept going in Robbens legs before the ball was even there. None of the fouls they called where diving by Robben. They just fouled a lot and Robinho getting in the face of people and screaming their faces was worthy of multiple yellow cards.

Maicon and Kaka both flopped more often than Robben and one of the Netherland guys who got booked for it.

Lol which game were you watching? Melos red card was well deserved, but Robben looked like Manu Ginobili out there.

I saw more flopping from Brazil than Robbin. Robinho scolding Robben after his teammate tripped him was comedy.

Glad to see Brazil get bounced.

Wow, I totally overslept and missed the game this morning (even though I DVR'd it). Psyched that Netherlands beat them. Talent-wise, it's only a tiny upset, but in the scheme of things, it's huge.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Don't Care About How Much We Were Outplayed In The First Half. Don't Care About The Lucky First Goal. Don't Care About The Exaggerating On Fouls. There's Ome Thing I Do Care About, And That's

Holland 2
Brazil 1

Woooooohoooooooooo!!!

Edit: sorry about all the capitals. The combinaton of beer, sun, a 100 degrees, and a nailbyting game of football i guess...

The Netherlands advancing means I still have a chance of winning money. 11/1 were the odds at the start of the tournament. I put them each way so fingers crossed!

Wow, what an entertaining half.

Not looking good for Uruguay, now missing both of their best defenders, Fucile and Lugano.

Great goal by Forlan on the free kick.

Goal off a free kick awarded for a dive. Great goal, but BS circumstances.

No way. He went for the ball, but he totally took his feet out from under him.

Suarez missed an absolute gift of a goal.

Amazing gol. Free kick of the tournament

I think Honda's free kick was better. This one seemed to fool the goalie whereas Honda just placed it so well that the goalie couldn't do anything about it.

Great game despite the second half not being as entertaining as the first.

I think Uruguays gonna pull through with the W

What a letdown from Ghana, 3 missed PK's including the one in extra time that would have won it.

Wow, this has been one of my favorite games of the tournament. I have some Uruguayan pals who would talk crap about Mex, so i really wanted them to do bad, but Forlan has been an absolute beast this WC. What a great player. Uruguay deserves to move on.
