The game between ARG & BEL saw just 3 shots on target, the lowest tally in a World Cup knockout game since the 1990 final.
Biased? Argentina had one less yellow and three less overall fouls how is that biased? If anything it can be argued that this was one of the best ref'd games of the tournament. If anything the Belgians got off easy on a couple of calls. Anytime you have qualify a comment by saying you aren't a crybaby, you are a crybaby. As much as his players lost the match Wilmots did as poor a job of coaching as they did playing. Official FIFA game stats don't agree.
That statistic is a symptom of the biased performance, not something disproving it. A number of the fouls called on Lukaku and such were very, very soft.
Lukaku was never mentally into the game. The fouls were legit as were the offside. If you want an example of soft look no further than some of the touches that Robben is currently going down to.
Same for you. The three less fouls is because everything was whistled in favour of the defenders. What a nonsense. That is clear hacking vs Robben.
Not saying that wasn't a foul but ffs the reaction he had to what wasn't that hard of a contact...he looked like he got kicked in the groin.
Even Robben admitted his diving ways after the Mexico game. Even if he says it himself you'll still deny it.
At least Robben admitted it. Other teams and players, like these Costa Ricans, whine about Robben's diving before the match but still dive to get penalties themselves. Second time CR tried that in this game just now.
I don't disagree and that really isn't the point I am making. Some Dutch supporters tend to see things within the confines of a prism. The "they do it but we don't" mentality/reality.
yep the whole point is to make the final not to entertain neutrals how many WC "entertainers" have actually won the WC? Brazil 1970 is possibly the last one (and potentially only one)
