Yes. I didn't mean to suggest otherwise. Müller exaggerated Pepe's initial hit and went down, then Pepe went crazy for no reason.

It wasn't a dive
Germany is my team for the World Cup but do you really think that Pepe's initial tap sent epic shockwaves through Müller's face and body and forced him down?

Why do you think Pepe was set off though? I mean, it's football, you'd expect players to be used to that sort of bullshit.

Everything is on track for a heart-breaking semi-final loss. Already rubbing my hands with glee. Now excuse me while I finally finish the new Wolfenstein.

Rooney spotted. What happens when the US goes further than England in the cup, do you call it quits for good then?

Give it a few games to resolve a little clearer. It is looking good for the same old routine though. If next game we lose 2-1 and get a red card we know this is happening.

the thing is that we are pretty much used to go out in the semi finals or finals by now so the disappointment won't be that high, sorry op

It was enough of a contact to be called on, but unless players make it look like they got shot by a sniper or start profusely bleeding officiating staff barely react in professional games.

The thing is, I can't really think of any situations where a player takes a hand/elbow/foot to the face and doesn't go down, even if it's as soft as yesterday. Even that little unexpected contact is enough to make you stop playing, and if you're gonna stop playing why not have a little sit down too? If nothing else had happened no one would be talking about that situation at all, but Pepe is a goshdarn psychopath rear end in a top hat, so...

Right, the ref didn't even stop play for that. But Pepe is dumb and decided to stop playing and give Müller a (soft) headbutt in full view of the ref.

I kind of had this irrational hope that this WC would be different, that Germany would start out badly with a bunch of weakened or off form players, but fight their way into the tournament, find the right formation and pull through. But it looks like its back to tearing apart lesser teams (and also Portugal now) and failing against big teams in the semis again...
