What's the deal with #3 there? Shouldn't he be jumping in front of the kick to block it instead of away from it?
Lol. Easier said than done, I imagine

Yeah, it would suck and probably hurt, but it seems like players in other sports would get blasted for doing the same thing (Deion Sanders notwithstanding). If I lived in his country I'd be [expletive] about that play.

A hockey player would eat that ball in the mouth and not think twice.

What #3 did was effectively screen his goalie, and the guy still almost made the save. Hats off to the goalie.

Godin was standing in the right place if Rodriguez shot it straight and low or the more likely play, if he brought it down and dished it to a teammate.. He sliced it up and around. The level of skill there is incredible. Godin played the correct percentage there. Even if it occurred to him to jump left, he wouldn't have had time to get there.

Theft. That was a terrible penalty in extra time.

Make up call for Rafa's hatchet job in the first half.

How is Ochoa so good at everything but coming off his line to handle crosses? He's brave, he's strong. He should be better at that.
