And the hits just keep on coming from Brazil...

First, one from the latter match:

Can't find a video of this anywhere, even almost 12 hours after the match.

Just after Costa Rica opened the scoring in a DISMAL match (which did pick up right at the end of regular time), Greece committed a blatant handball in the box which should've given Costa Rica a second goal.

However, the match turned cynical and chippy, Costa Rica got a player (rightly) sent off (and was lucky more didn't follow from either side!), and time-wasting was duly punished by a stoppage-time equalizer.

But more bullshit from the other match:

Robben actually has admitted he dove -- for the first-half penalty claim (that was probably the best of the three!) that actually broke Moreno's tibia!!

An irate Mexican coach has basically said he dove for all three penalty claims, the third (and lightest!) of which, he got for the 2-1 win.

I actually have found a video for the SECOND claim, which the video calls a classic Robben "hop and flop":





If you take a look at the third one which WAS called a penalty, howinhell is this second one not called one as well?
