Robben: I should not be punished for being honest about diving

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Arjen Robben believes that he has been "honest and fair" over his diving in Netherlands' game with Mexico and it is time to move on. The 30-year-old was put under scrutiny after winning a decisive penalty in the Oranje's 2-1 second round win, particularly after he admitted that he had tried to earn a free kick despite feeling no contact in the first half of the encounter. However, despite expressing regret for his dive, Robben was adamant he was fouled by Rafael Marquez for the penalty and feels that a line should now be drawn under the affair. "I can only repeat what I said after the match," the Dutchman said in an interview with the Times of India. "I am an honest guy and said what I did was wrong. That should be the end of the story. Maybe sometimes you are punished for honesty but I always prefer to be honest!"
