Netherlands Oust Mexico

    Robben the flopper.  Ok, he sold the foul to the referee in extended time.  The defender did make contact with Robben's foot, and then he did a classic belly flop to the turf. SOLD! Whistle, yellow card, PK, goal. Match.
    Hmmmm.  World class soccer?  I don't think so.  The Dutch side should be ashamed of themselves.  But, Mexico could not control the game.  The second half was all Orange.  The first Orange goal came on a corner kick rebound strike front the top of the area when Mexico failed to mark the lurking Dutch player_ goal in 88th minute.
    The next game should be interesting as Costa Rica tries to make amends for Latin America.
