Yeah, but he's exaggerating some. Both U.S. red cards were highly questionable. In one, our guy tackled slightly too late and hit the person instead of the ball. It's happened tons before this past week in the world cup and hasn't been called much. It was a valid red card maybe, but the stupid ref gave a full red card. :( That's definitely NOT a red cardable offense. The next one our man touched the ball and THEN tackled the opponent. That's legal. And literally, about 14-15 of the fouls were Italian off-sides.

BTW- You have to see our guy that got elbowed. Dang. His whole left side of the face was bloody. Stupid Italian deserved a good red card. I was happy he got a red card till I saw our guy. Red acrds are good but don't like seeing our players so messed up. Must of felt pretty painful. Still, he was back in the game in 5 minutes (our guy). Go USA!
