Opinion was mixed on Twitter. Half admired it saying it was great mind games, while a smaller amount such as myself thought it frankly incredibly poor conduct and couldn't believe the ref didn't intervene.

Really? So you are one of those who think Dudek behaved also "normal" and only tried get into the players?

I have to disagree. Show me a comparable example (on a high stage like the WC quarterfinal) to Krul's almost threatening trash talk? I think you'll find up very few to none. This wasn't just a little, this was a rarely seen show.

I personally don't think that you can compare the 2

What Dudek did throws the taker off more than a little close up trash talk, but was all within the rules of the game.

As I said before, I don't think what Krul did was all that bad, did I think that he acted like a total @sshole? Yes and I would have laughed had the Costa Rica players scored their penalties and made him look like an even bigger @sshole. But really their misses imo had nothing to do with him coming up in their faces.

I think it made a difference. Against Greece the same shooters made different selections and were generally more confident.

Mentioning Dudek wasn't a comparison, I just know how many people said he behaved without sportsmanship.

I don't think you can really compare how a team does in one shoot out vs another one. It's a completely different game, a completely different outset that the players have to wrap their minds around. I think I heard the commentator say before the shootout took place that no team had managed to win 2 consecutive games with a shootout in the World Cup, ever.

Well, as annoying as it was, what Dudek did imo wasn't un-sportsmanship

I was just about to say, it's sad to see what Klose is reduced to as a player these days and then he does that. Brazil are so disorganised at the back.

As much as I hate Germany. It's funny to see this happen to Brazil. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It feels like they're doing it to themselves, all the goals have been ridiculous

Dante and Luiz together have to be the worst partnership one can think up of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
