Spain v Holland

Get in there, son! Not a big fan of Robben, but if it's against Spain, then alright by me!

 

What a great piece of skill and ball control!

If the defender slides in recklessly like that, doesn't win the ball and takes out costas standing foot (whether he stood on it or tripped is irrelevant, it's still a foul) then he's going to go down.

 

But he didn't take out his standing foot. Costa clearly moved his leg to stand on Vlaar's foot. Vlaar didn't make contact with Costa, Costa made contact with Vlaar.

what a goal btw. caresses it out the air, first touch to control it with his wrong foot moves it onto his right foot to shoot and bam see you later.

No, he really did.

 

He quite clearly puts his foot on top of the defender's foot when his trailing leg is well past Costa's.

 

Well no he really didn't as there was sideways pressure applied to Costa's leg hence why he was able to make the whole thing look convincing. Not possible if he just stands on the defenders foot.

 

It shouldn't be allowed, but there's actually nothing in the rules about purposelessly leaving your foot in a unnatural position to be swiped from underneath you.

lol  lol  lol What are you talking about?! Costa trod on Vlaar's foot and as a result he fell over.

Moved his leg to stand on his foot?! At that speed? lol

Yeah, he was practically stood still as he'd just turned back on to his right foot.

Have you actually watched the replays. He clearly puts his foot down on the defenders leg after moving his own leg into an unnatural position.

If he wasn't trying to buy a penalty there's no way he'd stick his leg out that far.

Must of missed the part where Vlaar had a foot stationary on the floor and Costa stood on it and fell over, perhaps we're watching different game.

I never said it was stationary. Vlaar's has actually gone passed Costa when he made his challenge and then Costa performed his dying swan act.
