You're absolutely right, Snortmort, Robben is a great player and that's actually one of the reasons why I hate the fact that he tries to cheat so much. And I agree that pretty much every team fakes fouls and it really annoys me. But it's especially infuriating to me when an exceptionally good player does that. I admit I just expect better from such professionals.
And the NL team is definitely more skillful than Costa Rica and deserved the win. I just think that Costa Rica should be acknowledged for their quite clever tactics that allowed them to get so far and also wear and scare the NL team so much. Besides, I was really fed up with all the comments made by sports reporters and people in general. All of them were so sure that Costa Rica would fail miserably and were making jokes about them. So rude!

Yeah, I'm really diappointed with FIFA. The referee in tha match was not a very good one in my opinion. He should have been more strict from the beginning, he was very lenient towars both of the teams and allowed them to get very brutal. He didn't immediately stop the game when Neymar got injuried (which is not a bad thing considering the fact that Neymar fakes quite often), but even when he did he still didn't punish Zuniga accordingly. A red card would be very proper in that situation. Even now FIFA still can punish him, just like they did with Suarez, but it doesn't seem they're planning to do it :/

lol indeed xP in the episode of The Simpsons about the soccer cup he was specialy mocked because of that.
but seriously, something should be done about the referee. i've never seen a referee do such a poor job before. both teams could just begin to kill each other and he'd still wouldn't bat an eye :/
but i've heard people are overreacting to Zuniga and even wanting to harm his family. darn, he'd only need to be suspended for as long or longer than suarez was(because the damage inflicted to the individual, not because it was neymar) and his family had nothing to do with that.
and i am yet to hear what people think of that referee...

i just HATE when such things happen. where did the fairplay go?
i mean, in the end of the match between BR and CO some of the players from BR even hugged some of the players from CO and switched shirts with them.

EDIT:
since i can't double post, here's the prediction of today's match result:
DE: 10
BR: -10

actualy, it was 1-7 :p well, it wasn't 0-8 but there were 8 gols in that match

looks like argentina won. i hope the orange guys(forgot the team's name) don't give BR a merciful shoot. :p
at the 1st 2 points of BR/GE match i was like: nah, i'll watch anime and hope BR can get back on
by the 3rd gol, i was like: WAT? already?
by the 4th, i went to the TV and my family and i were like: do the 5th! now the 6th!
7th? make it 8! make it 8! C'MON MAKE THE 8TH GOL! MAKE THAT :aomd_nrv: 8TH GOL!
then BR made the 8th gol 10 seconds before the end :p
7x1
and there was a TON of mockery from national pages in BR too XD

Yeah normally I don't make fun of teams because I'm like it was probably a bad day for them but what happened to Brazil?? This wasn't a bad day...THIS WAS HORRIBLE! I didn't watch the game but I mean, did Brazil even run after the ball? Were they too tired to continue or something? 7 points? In the last run of the season?
What?
I'm sitting here surprised that Germany didn't get more goals

Netherland vs. Argentina wasn't so bad but I'm 2-4? Amm...what's with all these high number of scores?? People aren't playing their best in the last run! It should be like 1-0 or even 2-0. These hourish long games need sound like the teams want the win! This sounds like one wants to win while the other is just satisfied...
I'm not watching the 3rd place game. Brazil and Netherlands both disappointed me.
They didn't necessarily have to win...but sound like they tried?

Now I gotta wait three days and most possibly I won't be able to watch that match. Crossing fingers though that we'll be able to.

*EDIT*
Oh wait never mind...That was after the match ended between Netherland and Argentina. Never mind. Hope restored to Netherlands...still disappointed with Brazil
