"but there was contact." That's how the article justifies it, but that doesn't make it a foul. There's contact on nearly every soccer play. If we follow the logic of the ref and the article, there should be a foul on every corner kick. And every 50/50 header. And any time any player touches another, regardless of the…

What is amazing about Herrera is that he does not sweat. Look at him after the match.. 100 degree weather and Herrera is weathering a jacket and tie. After the match, not a bead of sweat on the man and his hair looks as good as if he just to a blow dryer to it..

why is no one talking about this? Marquez has 3 defenders with him and a guy going away from the goal. Why stab at it when you know the guy is going to flop with a feather's touch. And by the way, it was a bit more than a feather's touch.

You hit the nail on the head, homeslice. It was both, and Rafa should never have let himself be baited.

I you think its a foul, then you agree with the call. It's in the box. Any foul in that area is a PK. You either say no foul or he gets a PK. Black and white rule there

Yes, I had this debate with my mom. It was def a foul but not a yellow car worthy foul. Like Robben would have stumbled, but that's it. He total flopped on the ground like a dying fish.

A floul if you will.

But mostly a flop.

Perhaps, but Robben oversold it nearly every time he had possession.

No doubt Brazil has looked vulnerable, a decent team with a great home crowd rather than a great team. Still, we don't really know what Colombia is yet—beating Japan, Ivory Coast, Greece, and Uruguay without Suarez only tells us so much.

Whereas Croatia is known as "the table cloth of the world"

Mexico will always be known as "the Pants of North America"

exactly. This is the coach that chose Altidore over Donovan, so all bets are off.

I guess my point is that I don't give a shit what people say about Embiid on twitter, and neither should he.

Germany still owes us for the Berlin Airlift.

Right, which is why it's perfectly fine for people to vent at him on Twitter. Nobody gets hurt, and nobody with half a brain gets their panties in a bunch over shit-talk delivered from behind the safety of a computer screen.

Yeah, that could happen, but between Ghana and Portugal, which team is more likely to shit the bed? I vote Pretty Boy and his disinterested friends

Rarely does a loss (non-win, for those who don't understand tournament play strategy) fall on one player's shoulders....but this one completely does. And for the record, Bradley hasn't had a good 5 minute stretch in this tourney, let alone a solid half

Everyone in the world knew we were in run the clock out mode except for the prior coach's son....

Was Tony Romo at this game?
