First, this was penalty on Pedro. He loses control and falls but Lloris doesn't hit the ball and takes everything with him, it's a clear penalty... Now about whining, diving bitches, you're just butthurt they win everything. Everybody hates them because they win everything. On the 'whining' part, I agree, they always complain to the referee, but that's more the Liga spirit than the Spanish team in itself. They don't dive more than any other team, I'm sorry, open your eyes. And even if they were diving, they would have good reasons to do so. Remember 2010 WC final? They were diving in De Jong feet and Van Bommel's too? When you receive 3x more fouls than you give, you try to take advantage of that because the referee doesn't always signal the small fouls that ruin your short passes football, it's just normal tactics, and it's called compensation. It's been part of football since the beginning of the game, get over it. France's Valbuena is a professional diver, 10 times worse than any player of today's Spanish 11. | ||

Very solid looking formation, we've looked incredibly safe against anything Montenegro have tried to do. I like the choice of Milner and Welbeck out wide; they're really putting in a lot of effort going back, and they haven't been bad going forward either. Welbeck MotM for me so far, given the defenders hell and has won the ball back a lot tracking back. Also, the yellow card against Welbeck towards the back of the half was a joke. I don't think that it was a penalty, but you can see that Welbeck got his legs tangled up and that's why he fell. :S i thought millner's playing awfully, even by his standards (never rated him) Also Gerrard has had a bit of a mare other than the assist, perhaps put Wilshere on instead? Never happen because hes captain but carrick cleverly Wilshere would be a pretty good midfield me thinks, possibly better than the current. | ||

Notice how he bends his knee even before anyone touches him. He forced his fall with the intention of getting a penalty kick. | ||

Well if Lloris doesn't shoot both his legs, you can give him a yellow for faking. But if he does, you give a penalty. What if he injures Pedro? Still nothing? Pff... Tired of people waiting for legs to be broken to signal fouls... Anyway my point is not to say if there is penalty or not, referees can make mistakes. But then don't ask a team to say absolutely nothing after this kind of decision, France would have done the same. | ||

However nowadays players just find it easier to try to trick the referee by pretending to be little fairies who fall whenever the wind blows. | ||

It's sad that they are not even trying to fix this issue... Corrupted old men. | ||

I'm really liking the emphasis on the youth that Van Gaal is bringing (I guess they had no other choice after the EC) and hope it continues into the WC which they almost cannot miss anymore. | ||

Two footed tackle on Pedro and he was clearly tripped. You're right they dive too often, but it came back to bite them in this case. If the ref didn't have it in the back of his mind that would have been a penalty. The commentators couldn't understand how it wasn't given. At least the game is decent, England/Montenegro 2nd half is crap, Mont. look like they're going to equalize. | ||
