QF Analysis: NED-BRA - Nishimura (JPN)

Yeah you didn't see it right...he kicked out at him...didn't get near his groin. I think you're alone in your assessment, there's just a lot of Play-acting.

 

I didn't get a chance to see the replay :x it looked clean enough to be debatable from the wide shot.

And yes I am aware attempting to trip is a foul.

I'm sure if I saw the replay I would agree with you guys, well I actually do since you all saw the replay and I trust you all.

 

And that was your first mistake...MUHAHHAHAHAHA!!

 

That's baloney.
He is having to give some extra tweets, but I think that is because of language limitations. Thought I dont know how good his english is, nor anyone else. Nishimura is making his opinion known, and that is all you can ask.

Minute 47, Nice card for simulation. A pretty well camouflaged one, too. ...brush the defender and fall down...

 

Bastos subbed off...smart by Dunga, one more foul and I think he was off for sure.

 

Apparantely, Dunga knows of my abilities.

 

Interesting one there. You could make an argument he put his hands up (lucio?) to make himself bigger. I would have had no complaints had that been called.

 

I agree... I think he was on Nishimura's radar.

 

I thought about adding in something about asking if it was a mistake

Enough random talk.. I'll add something good for the conversation to make this post relevant.

I like the way Nishimura's hair bounces when he runs.

Oh! Caution! Good call.. he was all over him. What could have happened if he didn't call that? Robihno seemed to want to keep running I think? I forgot if he stopped because of the whistle or the foul.

 

Good call and a yellow against De Jong (Spelling?) he saw it and he booked him for Slowing Robinho down and letting the ball go back to his teammate.

 

Good card on DeJong. He can't stay with Robinho.
The same was true of Batsos not being able to stay with Robben.

 

It's interesting but I think the Dutch were just skying it and nothing would've happened. You could make the argument for making yourself bigger.

 

I looked in the LOTG for any clause that allows the defense to handle the ball when the attacking team hoofs the ball in the air but didn't see any. Maybe the dutch player was trying to chip it to himself? Like I said, Its an interesting call and I've seen it given.

Maybe you should keep the conversation on the match - or at least your opinion of it

 

Wasn't it like this to start with?

Did anyone else think Nishimura looked like a fish when he was talking to Van Persie?

I can agree with you about him not making want to make big decisions. He seems slightly not 100% confident. He better be careful, it could spiral out of control.

 

What the heck kinda comment is that. I was giving my opinion and saying you have an argument. How is that not about this match? Why don't you keep the immature digs to yourself.

 

non-handling call was right, the arm was there before the ball was kicked totally unintentional.

He does seem to be blowing the whistle and slowling things down a bit now. Getting testy out there and he's got a fun 10 minutes ahead of him now.

 

Again, the Dutch take a quick free kick and it is called back because he wants to slow the game down.

 

I agree

 

Yeesh. That's the easiest red I've seen all tournament.

 

Well he just nailed that one

 

Looks like someone got grumpy (sorry, watching the MatchCast so I need to wait for replays)

 

Good Red Card on Melo...stomps on Robben gets a red.

How many good calls does this ref need to make before you guys get on board that he's doing a good job?
