Totally agree. France was the much better side in the 2nd half more specifically from the 75th minute until the end. Up to that point it looked like Nigeria could've pulled quite the upset. Africa's down to 1 team: Algeria. See if they can exact some overdue revenge against Germany.
I was reading an article--I believe it was on Deadspin--about how Robben is the most effective flopper in the World Cup because he sells the foul better than anyone else. Sometimes Robben is the dominating powerful dribbler that takes the ball and extra 5 yards to get it to his dangerous left foot (see Spain, group stage). Other times he's the grass eating, glass boned, douchebag (see Mexico, round of 16). But he gets that penalty call because he's shown that he doesn't go down easily sometimes. His reputation gives him the benefit of the doubt sometimes much to the outrage of the opponents.

I don't think he has too much of a choice. Each time it's been the right call and the German defenders can't seem to keep up. We're heading into extra time now.
