Netherlands Vs Ivory Coast

van bommel. the midfielder whom arsenal wanted to buy last season.Originally posted by fudgester:By the way, who was that Dutch guy who dived and got an innocent Ivorian booked instead?
He ought to be thrown out of the tournament for unfair play.

He is the goalkeeper right?
He dived for the ball, should be a foul and the poor Ivorian chap got yellow card -
Nope, not van der Sar. I'm talking about another diving incident before Robben got his own comeuppance.Originally posted by laurence82:Precisely

for poor unsportmanship, kicking the ball+keeper when he knew he had no chance at all.Originally posted by laurence82:hmm, so why drogba got booked? -
ivory coast quite unlucky, zokora had a shot cannoned back of the crossbar..

Not too sure about this. Need to see the highlights for the replays. -
You mean you only realize it today? the past 2 seasons he has been diving for chelsea liao... Its only a matter of time he gets found out!Originally posted by 798:great free kick goal by arsenal player van persie!
n rvn score too.
robben is a diver! -
but from the way i saw, he was dribbling and kicking before the goalkeeper dived for itOriginally posted by www:for poor unsportmanship, kicking the ball+keeper when he knew he had no chance at all.

at least there was come contact, pires dive at arsenal was him forcing contactOriginally posted by zocoss:You mean you only realize it today? the past 2 seasons he has been diving for chelsea liao... Its only a matter of time he gets found out!
upon himself.

van de sar already got hold of the ball and in most cases, strikers would have jump over the keeper but drogba went on to kick the ball plus the keeper.Originally posted by laurence82:but from the way i saw, he was dribbling and kicking before the goalkeeper dived for it
hmm -
he made a meal out of a normal touch.Originally posted by www:dont see holland playing much total football these days. more of english football rather.
drogba with his trademark handball again. he is really good at handling ball without being spotted by 3 officials.
i thought ivory coast should have a penalty for the foul on eboue.
for once, i tot robben aint diving, but the ref tot otherwise.

www is spot-on for this.Originally posted by www:van de sar already got hold of the ball and in most cases, strikers would have jump over the keeper but drogba went on to kick the ball plus the keeper.
blatant mistake of kicking the goalkeeper in his box.
could even get a red for that. -
RvN is very sharp today.
He could draw blood again.
-
van Bommel finally got his comeuppance - a yellow card.
He got an innocent Ivorian booked in the first half by diving.
Divers should get a good kick in their 'Michael Ballacks' for unfair play.

Ivory Coast Elephants have big tooth but can't penetrate while the oranje army makes every shot count...Originally posted by fudgester:van Bommel finally got his comeuppance - a yellow card.

It's a showcase of skill versus workrate. -
endless flutter of cards.
The yellow fever has hit the World Cup.
Flash the yellow! -
Even livescore is moving at tortoise rate.
7 shots on goal for Holland, 0 shots off goal...
6 shots on goal for Ivory Coast, 6 shots off goal.
The oranje army is the super black horse... -
the elephants were unlucky not to get anything outta this game as they have quite a few decisions going against their way.
i thought ivory coast has got a few valid penalties but were denied.
too bad the winners for this group have been decides, else it would be quite a showdown between argentina and holland.
even so, if the dutch are to play argentina like how they did in the second half, i belive they will be slaughtered. -
i dun think drogba kicked at van der ser, it was just his trailing leg there. i felt ivory coast had a lot of decisions go against them.
the stadium very orange today, part of ivory coast fans wore orange also.
Ivory coast strikers are very pacy and will become formidable when salomon kalou joins in after this world cuo -
Ivory coast can be considered lucky to lose by this small margin.
All thanks to the selfishness of Arjen Robben. -
this match si bei unfair lah.
netherlands dam cheater bugs. use underhand mtds. they go pull ivory's players, then the referee act cork dun wan to see. nb. so many fouls leh. -
Hi
Super entertaining game by both sides. Both sides really went for each other's throats and the match could have gone either way. I thought a draw would be a fairer result since Ivory Coast hit the crossbar once during the first half.
Even though Ivory Coast players will now pack their luggage, I think they can leave Germany with their heads held high. I thought Holland was actually the luckier team since quite a number of decisions went along with them. -
Very orange day

ivory coast not technical enough..haiz..very big waste of a chance to make an impression for themselves..
