Two wrong calls do not equal one right call.

[unfortunately I don't know how to say it better in English]

You said it fine. The phrase typically goes 'two wrongs don't make a right.'

If every little touch is considered a penalty then we might as well be watching basketball. This is a damn contact sport, if you get slightly touched and then choose to convulse your body and go flying afterwards you are a clear diver. What the hell kind of standard are we using these days to call fouls? A foul is an action of force that truly impedes a player from continuing an attempted maneuver without having touched the ball. It's not that every time you touch a player without touching the ball you commit a foul. Sadly I think the latter is becoming the standard criteria for giving fouls/penalties due to all the extremely soft calls that we've seen in recent years.

His maneuver wasn't impeded by Marquez at all, he even raised the foot that was supposedly tripped after the "foul" took place and then chose to fling his body outward and go to ground. It's a bit of a coincidence that he chooses to hurl himself to the floor the moment he sees that he took a heavy touch when cutting past Marquez isn't it?

The contact in my opinion is not on the left foot (which is indeed too light), but on the right leg.

Watch the gif again in slow motion, he clips his own heel with the right.

Lol Neymar is not even close to Robben. He exaggerates contact but he rarely dives.

Players like Robben who constantly just fall over are why a lot of Americans won't take the sport seriously. Clear dives need to be an automatic yellow. I was laughing so hard when Robben didn't get the penalty that he actually deserved because he has a history of diving but then ref gave in.

This.

 

[Paganinisrvnge]

Has anyone ever been sent off for diving? Like a second yellow.

 

[Flavia]

You guys are forgetting the ref saw that without slow motion, and he was looking from the front, and from there it looks a clear pen. Rafa was careless.

Yeah of course.

I don't think people are blaming the ref... Their job is not that easy. They're blaming Robben for being a cunt.
