You may like the theater of the Uruguay Italy game but all I saw was a horribly choppy game from all the diving and theatrics. Blown calls. And no real resolution at all on who the better team was or who should have won. It just felt like I was in the twilight zone watching some interpretation of a sporting event with the dials cranked on all the things I liked the least.

That was indeed a terrible game. As someone mentioned those two countries playing each other is like Bruins-Canucks. We knew it would be the most desperate and the diviest match yet.
Which was stupid cause Mexico-Croatia and Ivory Coast-Greece played similar do or die games with a team needing just a draw and those games were fantastic.
