Iniesta dives when challenged by van Bommel and then retaliates by having a dig at van Bommel who himself dives to the ground.

Beautiful game me hole.

You didn't notice van Bommel going for his ankle, no?

PHB

I think extra time would be good for this game to be honest. Dutch players are all booked, can't tackle too hard. Players getting tired. Torres comes on to terrorise with fresh legs. It'd be more memorable that this match.

Yeah right :rolleyes:

Why not? He dived and tackled off the ball 2 yellows = Red. If that was Van Bommel it would be a different story.

Turtyturd

Is that a Torres chant going around?

Great tackle from Sneijder

This match has last minute goal written all over it!

daithijjj

Torres is going to come on, score a great goal and city will make a bid in 2mros paper for 120mil.

~Rebel~

christ where was Iniesta going? Seemed to run straight into the man

Insect Overlord

Sneijder shows his team-mates how a tackle is supposed to be performed

very much agreed. As it stands this is going down as a very damp squib.

Babel as an option for the Dutch going into extra time could also be very interesting.

Casillas MOTM

argosy2006

if he went down he was off

ctrl-alt-delete

Robben stayed up, to go down like that then?

Fook sake

chupacabra

Puyol very very lucky

Scorpion Sting

Oooh great chance there!

PHB

Robben should have went down there, if he had, Puyol would have had to be off.

*edit* actually, not too sure it was a red to be honest. Think even if it was a foul, it woulda been a yellow.

~Rebel~

Iker again! what a ledge!

Panthro

ahh poor aul robben, hes getting so close..
and he fooks up royally.

cruiserweight

Robben doing Puyol a favour

Mr.Nice Guy

Ha Robben keeps his feet and then does a theatrical dive after Casillas makes a good save. :pac:

Good man, Howard.

noodler

Can the ref not go back and punish Puyol for that?

Stupid.

EDIT: Only time I will every say this, but fair play for Robben for trying to stay on his feet.

Turtyturd

Casilas brilliant again.

Puyol would have been off

Has Elia even touched the ball since coming on?

Insect Overlord

Casillas for MOTM?

MementoMori

6-3 on the card front.

titan18

Surprised he didn't go down there

amacachi

LOL at Robben getting booked for dissent. Great consistency from Webb.

Dive tbh, no contact.

This match is everything that is bad about the "beautiful game."

If I couldn't see Howard Webb on the telly I would swear you were him. Iniesta's biggest fan.:pac:

Fair play to Robben for keeping going, if that was a Spanish player they would have hit the deck!

Scorpion Sting

Cesc is coming on.

PHB

Fabregas finally getting a chance, deserves it.

chupacabra

Fab on now.

ragg

extra time in this game is just cruel and unusual punishment

Panthro

now Cesc, make a name for yourself.

MementoMori

I don't think the Dutch are going to win the Fair Play award somehow

Holsten

Robben is a bottler, just blast the thing!

Bring on Torres to score the winner!

Ahh come on, he instantly regretted it by diving pathetically while jumping over Casillias, only getting up so he could sprint 50 yards to shout at the ref.

He is a clown at times.

Panthro

best thing about this game is the spanish jersey, it looks class.

jaykay74

this game owes us a classic extra time 2-2 with a red a piece. please. :mad:

MementoMori

Book RvP for playing on and send him off....go on Webb for the laugh

BRING ON HUNTELAAR
