    Dunphy and co giving out about being unable to play in Florida because of the heat. I wonder how the likes of the Dolphins and the Crimson Tide manage it?
    They're not running around for 90 minutes!

    Watch a live game of NFL and it becomes fairly obvious.

    But there's essentially two teams (defensive and offensive) and the nature of the game (even without time outs etc) is stop start, with 4 quarters. Loads of time to get water in and a breather.

    How is diving ever going to be stamped out with results like this? Robben is a disgrace to the sport. He can dive fifty times in a match and he only needs one to go his way. Shameful.


    The majority of players dive it's just in instinctive he's not the first to ever dive.
    Soccer has been a farce for years FIFA don't care look how long it took to get goal line technology in the game.

    The world cup is summed up like this
    Suarez got 4 months ban for biting someone doing no damage.
    Neymar looked at Modric before smashing his elbow in his face and got away with it.

    here is clip of the goals... the penalty incident is @ 0:16. The tackle looked slightly late and unintentional, there is no way a player is going to risk conceding a penalty that late in the game.. but Robben was looking at the ref with his arms out and his mouth wide open long before his sorry ass hit the ground.

    Karma for this one please universe
    I thought those Mexicans are tough guys, why wasn't one of them waiting for Robben in the tunnel to "swap jerseys"

    In a nail-biting finish, the final of the 2005 Namibian Cup had to be settled by a record-breaking 48 penalty kicks, with KK Palace holding their nerve to defeat the Civics 17–16 following a 2–2 draw in normal time. A number of players on each side had to take three spot kicks in the shootout, which lasted almost as long as the game.

    Imagine the pressure of taking the last penalty. I'd run out of the stadium and jump in a taxi
