Not even a pen.
No era penal
The need for var. At that time.
No era penal
Its ok Morocco gave the Netherlands a dose of their own medicine by eliminating them in Monterrey Mexico. Holland went home early in the 2026 Worldcup.
If Var would have been active back then on that hot day in brazil I have no doubt they would have reversed that call made by that blind referee.
NO ERA PENAL
Even robben will tell you it wasn’t a penalty and I don’t blame him for going down. That being said it gave me so much joy to see the Netherlands go out vs Morocco.
This also set up VAR for the most part
1) There is no question, no era penal
2) The curse will truly be broken after Mexico advances past England to get to the quarterfinals
I’m surprised no one is talking about the way the ref avoided to shake the Mexicans hand! Smh racist POS
nope
This is the play that changed everything, and the VAR was introduced.
Fifa is corrupt thats what remains boycott fifa now
Fifa is corrupt thats what remains boycott fifa now
A mexican dutchy here….Rafa clearly stepped on Arjens foot.
Robben’s the best
Now we're gonna have the " No era roja " in the USA…🤷
Yes Si era penal why in gods name did our best mexican defender get baited like that on such important match.
It was a clear pen he attempted to make a challenge missed the hit the player go cry us a river
Considering how that game was playing out, I doubt Mexico would have won even without the penalty.
Sorry. There is NO WAY they woulda won a Penalty Shootout against Netherlands.
🇲🇦 😂 😘
No
We got you Mexico 🇲🇽❤️🇲🇦
No era penal
why soccer is fkn stupid
Netherlands eliminated on the anniversary is perfect.
I’m Mexican and can’t blame the ref. From first view it looks like a penalty. No VAR back then and we all noticed it was controversial until the replays.
I still think it was a fair call and Marquez always doing dumb moves during important games just like in 2002 vs USA
No era penal it wasn’t a penalty
NO ERA PENAL HIJOSDESUPUUUUUUTAMADRE! Inches Irlandeses 😭
No era penal😢
This is one of the events that led to the implementation of VAR.
there was contact Robben just added a bit of flair
