The leader of the Dutch national team, Arjen Robben, apologized for his performance in the World Cup quarterfinal match against the Mexican national team.
The defender who plays for Bayern Munich admitted that in the episode where a penalty was awarded, helping the Dutch advance to the quarterfinals, there was a foul, but he confesses to simulating a foul in the first half.
"At the end of the match, the penalty was awarded correctly, there was a foul. However, I must apologize for the episode in the first half, when I simulated a foul. I shouldn't have done that. It was foolish, but sometimes you hope to be fouled, and the opponent kicks your leg at the last moment," - said the 30-year-old footballer.
In the quarterfinals, the Dutch will face the Costa Rican national team, who defeated the Greek footballers after a penalty shootout on Monday night.
