The flopping was pretty comical. First couple times I’m like this guy is really hurt. Then they show the hit in slow motion and I’m like “what?” He’s down for 3 minutes for that?

But, I did find myself getting into it a bit.

As mentioned in another thread a bit ago, I'm a fair weather-front runner for USA Men's Soccer....enjoy getting into it during the World Cup only. Nice to see them advance in the knockout round since 2002. Its something everyone can get behind. I like the passion of the world's fans for their country's teams.

I will admit to getting nervous towards the end. That free/penalty kick was awesome.

We're in big trouble vs Belgium without our #1 striker Balogun. I'm hoping that red card gets overturned. He wasn't intentionally trying to step on the guys ankle.

Worst red card I’ve ever seen for sure.
