That seemed like an over-the-top interpretation of diving, though. It would have made more sense to simply not rule it a foul and have them play on.

Aw. Now Algeria will never be able to avenge the colonial oppression against France in Round Two or avenge 1982 against Germany in the Quarters. Oh well.

Good to see Germany return to form.

EDIT: Özil is outstanding; this is glorious stuff (even if the Aussies aren't the strongest of opponents).

Yeah, but he's so busy I have the bad feeling he'll get carded again sooner or later. *hopes not*

I don't care for our new system. It works, so yay, I guess, but I still hate the whole endless futzing around in the back.
