Good to see Robben booked for diving, although that was the one occasion in the entire tournament when he actually didn't dive.

Does any other tournament have a 3rd place play-off like the World Cup. I know there is no such match on the Euro Championship.



Last one in the Euro's was 1980

PSG fans must be looking forward to the central defensive pairing next season of Thiago Silva and Luiz.

The thing is he is a decent footballer but he is in no way shape or form a defender.

A truly insane amount of money for a defender who can't defend

Awful refereeing, the guy's getting hoodwinked by diving all over the shop. Robben really is a horrible cheating sh*t. And I dunno how a free kick can be given (for Maicon) when the attacker knocks the ball past a defender, then runs into the defender who's just stayed still.

Brazil the worst team in the tournament? Who'd have thunk it?

There is also a crappy trend of refs dishing out punishment to the reactions to tackles rather than the tackle itself, which I thoroughly dislike.

And when there was a stonewall penalty, the ref books the fouled Brazilian for diving

What would be most concerning to me if I was Brazilian is that this team, based on their performance last Tuesday night and again last night, seem to have gone back light years since the last World Cup in 2010, let alone since they last won it in 2002. I know they didn't perform that great in 2006 and 2010, but they never put in such inept performances at those World Cups as they have done in the last week.
