Twitter has done more for soccer this world cup than 20 years worth of marketing. People see the trends on twitter and they want to interact. You tweet something and have people from other countries respond. It's great.

I am certain a lot of people see it differently, but in my view Robben plays an attacking style that, were the fouls not committed that he 'flops' on once committed, would smoke the defenders standing. He envisions an intricate but doable path through defenders in close quarters and goes for it. If he's not fouled, he's created a scoring chance, if he's fouled he's created a free kick.

It's no different than a savvy QB seeing single WR coverage and forcing it, counting on either a reception or PI. Or a PG in BB driving the lane aggressively every time he sees the much slower center singled up, counting on a layup or a foul and trip to the line.
I agree with this, in fact, that is exactly my style of play. I go hard and leave few options. Their best chance is to act unexpectedly, or hope I fail to succeed(bad/heavy touch).

One thing it's sure though. Just like vintage Messi, I DON'T FLOP!

Dude barely catches his toe. What makes this a clear flop is his other foot. Instead of bringing it down to the ground to continue running, he intentionally flails to the ground. Flop.

If he had continued running, like he easily could and should have, the foul wouldn't have been called at all.

This also has nothing to do with preconceptions of Robben, I like the guy for the most part, just really disappointed with the result there.
You need to watch the clip again. AR's left foot was stepped on. He tried to go high with his right leg but couldn't lift over the knee. He didn't flop as you say. He did sell it though, like every other player tries to do.

Hate it when players get fouls for merely existing.

There's another reason the sport is so flawed.

Something like that deciding a game? Jesus Christ.

That's worse than any bogus pass interference call in NFL history.

Where's the instant replay system for soccer?

The system is "don't foul guys in the penalty area"

Pretty incredible that Costa Rica has done all this without Alvaro Saborio.
