Don't think it was a penalty, didn't see any contact.

Hard one for the ref
 
Not a pen yet again, though it looked like one in real time so it can be forgiven...
 
Converted. Hopefully that doesn't mean spain don't just knock it about and keep control the whole game now
 
It was a good dive to be fair, saw the trailing leg and made the most of it.

Sigh
 
Harsh on the Dutch but it was to be expected of Costa, proper cnut.
 
fecking dive. Could I hate this cheating spanish team more ?
 
He stood on the defenders leg/foot by the looks of it.
 
Iniesta trips over his legs - de Guzman getting a yellow.

Costa trips over his legs/loses balance/stands on defender's foot - penalty.

Spain cheating in major tournament ? Quelle surprise.

Third match so far, yet another retarded decision, shocking refereeing so far in.
 
One of those 'He has a right to dive because the defender's left his leg'.
 
I have for sympathy for the ref on this one. It was a hard call to make in real time but, it should not have been a penalty.
 
This dutch team is poor. Long ball punts is all they've got
 
I don't think it was a pen, but I don't blame the ref for giving it. It looked like one on first viewing.
 
It was a Pen, imo.

Not clear cut, but can hardly complain that much as he was clearly outdone by Costa and sold on the dummy.
