3/4 CONCACAF teams out of the group stage. Pretty impressive. Stupid Honduras.

It seems the players keep forgetting the game ends when the ref whistles, and that they shouldn't stop playing until then. Also, Robben's last dive was a dick move. Shame on him.

I was half rooting for Rafa Márquez to go and break Robben's leg after the penalty.

Only half? That's like me saying that I hope Suarez goes to Barca and tries to bite Pepe!

But well, all in all the match was not a good one for the ref. Both sides had some dirty fouls and The Netherlands could have gotten 2 penalties in the first half of the match.

It's easy to be a smart ass sitting in a couch with beer in one hand and a bowl of potato chips in the other hand while watching 100532 replays from different angle. When you have to make a decision in a split second the ref will evaluate things from *HIS* point of view, not from the point of view of the zoomed in camera. In my book it took balls of steel to blow the penalty there because from ref's point of view it looks like Marquez stepped on the toes of Robben. Proenca is one of the best refs in the world and I highly doubt it he blew the whistle "just to send Mexico home" or because he's European.

Also, dammit Wondo!

Of the sides that banned sex - Spain, Russia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Chile and Mexico - none made it past the last 16.
