Robben's fake punt at the 2014 World Cup
The controversial Robben incident in 2014
After 90 minutes of the eighth-quarter final between Mexico and the Netherlands, the score was 1-1. In six minutes of extra time, Dutch winger Arjen Robben was called for a foul when he was kicked by Mexican defender Rafael Marquez, and then Dutch penalty kick shooter Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored a killer goal to make the score 2-1, thus eliminating Mexico. Robben was widely condemned by journalists for using a dummy (soccer term) to earn a penalty kick. After the match, Mexican manager Miguel Herrera had a verbal altercation with Portuguese referee Pedro Proenka, who later said in an interview, "This is a World Cup where everyone is targeting Mexico." He then elaborated in a press conference, "In four games we had three disastrous penalties, which is the worst. Robben faked three times to wrestle penalties and that had to be a wake-up call for him. If you want to learn from a guy who cheats like that, then he won't dare to play tricks again." Robben admitted after the game that falling down during the game was too obvious and apologized for it, "There was one time [it ended up being a] penalty and the other team went into the box and I just fell down easily, I shouldn't have done that." Robben also said that there were two fouls in the box against him in the first half. However, according to Marquez, Robben confessed after the match that "the extra time wasn't for a penalty, but before that it was", which goes against what he said at the conference.
