How often do you see as bad of a touch as what happened in the 5th, at this level? I know wings some times miss a touch all together on the sidelines when receiving a pass, but that is usually because they are looking up to survey the field, but in a situation where the only thing you have to do is clear the rough ridin' ball, at this level, has anyone ever seen such a shitty touch?

i dunno what play you're referring to, but the us and portugal both had some really bad plays. neither team looked particularly skillful. maybe normal, tho. soccer looks like it's hard to play.

Nobody would care about this if the royals had won

I rarely (never) disagree with sd, but I do this time.

Gonna win 'em all!

So is goal differential the first tie breaker?

I'm not going to lie, I'm BBSing on my phone via tapatalk and had a celebratory post nearly completed when the goal scored. Made it hurt a bit more when I deleted it. :(
