As soon as he feels that contact on his foot his arms are in the air, he is screaming, he is flopping.

Over ten times!! How many CK's did Mexico have?


Two, only two.

The good thing about being hispanic is that you have two teams to root for :P

The last few minutes were pretty devasting for us, but it did seem like Mexico stopped trying in the second half.


So who is the other one you are rooting for? Costa Rica, Colombia or Argentina?

USA! But I would love to see Colombia win it as well. James Rodriguez is a beast.

Love James but the most impressive Columbian player IMO has been Cuadrado. It's just that goalscorers get most of the credit. Reminds me of a Zidane vs Messi argument I was a part of once. Someone was arguing  that Messi was better because  of stats and all.

As for the USA, we've been fortunate to make it this far. Anything else is icing on the cake.

"feels contact on his foot"; "flopping" - you can't have both

I mean flopping in the sense of a belly flop. The whole arching the back nonsense, trying to make it look worse than what it was.

Don't undersell yourself, you were clearly the second best team in the group so you completely deserve to be in this round. Nothing fortunate about that

Never thought of the USA as hispanic, I've always thought of them as being closer to English/European. But maybe that's just my European bias showing

We're the largest minority in the US! The majority of them are located in the areas bordering Mexico.



World Cup 2014 will go down in history as one of the best ever, every match is freaking awesome to watch. Netherlands managed to pull that win out of nowhere.

I kind think it wasnt a penalty on Roben tough.

yea, he obviously does exaggerate his fall like many many players do (even those from the UK)

but "flopping" like the people use it in forums is = diving = no illegal contact
