Italy - USA

Thought this game deserved a special mention. What a crazy match, hey?
For those of you who didn't know, the result was 1-1, but that is only part of the story.
3 sendings off, 2 for the US and 1 for Italy.
What do you guys think of the sendings off? The two USA reds were just stupid and badly timed, but what about de Rossi's violent elbow on McBride? I was outraged, as was most of the country, and was even more behind the US. De Rossi has let down his country, his team, his sport, and himself. What a moron.
Here is the incident (which was harder to find photos for than I thought)...












After this atrociously vicious elbow to the face, de Rossi still has the nerve to protest. All respect for this man has been lost.

Also a mention to the biggest upset so far:
Czech Rep. 0-2 Ghana.
Did not see that one coming.

It will be a wild final day of group play with all teams trying to win (even first place Italy - no one wants to face Brazil).
