Many in the crowd were disappointed by Robben's miming - especially if they supported Mexico.

But die-hard Robben fans refused to believe their hero had done anything wrong.

"Believe me, that is not miming," tweeted Stephen Fry. "If it appears not always to foot-sync that's an HD live processor issue."
