When Brian McBride was elbowed in the face, he calmly walked off the pitch, received treatment and came back on later. When the Italians were fouled, they collapsed to the ground as if they had been shot dead and had to be stretchered off.
The referee was a disgrace and I'm glad USA managed to get a draw with only nine men.
Headline in Bild (Germany's top-selling tabloid):
"9 Amis Stoppen Italien"
