Actually he wasn't level, but the margin was small. Still doesn't change the bad offsides calls in the first half.
And Robben dives without any contact.
Also, I never disputed Brazil being boring. But they are certainly not as boring as the Netherlands. And Uruguay isn't me "beloved." I just think that they've played with more heart than skill, and that is commendable, as are Diego Forlan and Diego Lugano, two guys who are international stars that you don't see diving, faking, etc.
My favorites this world cup have been Chile, Uruguay, Argentina and Germany. Uruguay because of the heart, but the other three because they played exciting soccer even if it mean embarrassing defeats (in the case of Chile and Argentina).
Coaches like Dunga, Lippi and Van Marwijk make games almost unbearable.
Who would have thought that Germany would be the team to bring a bit of flair to this world cup?
