Arjen Robben Presented with 'It Wasn't a Penalty' Shirt Ahead of Mexico Rematch

Sean FayNov 12, 2014

The Netherlands take on Mexico on Wednesday in Amsterdam, bringing back memories of one of the most controversial games of the 2014 World Cup. 

The Dutch won that game 2-1 thanks to a last-minute penalty Arjen Robben won in controversial circumstances.

Meeting up with the Dutch squad ahead of the rematch, former Barcelona and Bulgaria legend Hristo Stoichkov decided to have some fun with the Bayern Munich star. 

Stoichkov, who is working on the game as a pundit, presented Robben with a shirt that says, "No Era Penal" (It wasn't a penalty), which became a trending topic among Mexico fans after the game in Brazil. 

The Mexican FA have still not let it go:

Robben laughed off Stoichkov's prank, although he has continued to insist he was fouled in the World Cup, telling reporters earlier this week:

"

It’s one of the funny things in sport and in football, when you lose you are disappointed, angry, frustrated and it is completely normal, but sometimes people aren’t objective.

In the first half there was a clear penalty we didn’t get and the one we did get at the end was also a penalty. People will have to live with that.

"

Robben was also asked if he would ever visit Mexico. 

"It might be good to wait a few years , so people calm down and aren’t angry at me," he admitted. "But I know that it is a beautiful country and that it’d be great to visit."
