Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that. Durring stoppage time, I 'm yelling at the TV, "take it to the corner flag!"

It's in both the US and Gemany's best interest to go out and just sit down for about 90 minutes.

While not very entertaining, I'm happy with finishing second.

Suarez should be ejected from this World Cup
After clearly biting Chiellini in that game yesterday.

+1 However, FIFA needs to go further than that. Nobody would deny that Suarez is a massively talented striker. But behavior like that is a total disgrace. And here's the thing, he's been banned and fined twice before for biting.

From The Guardian...

[Suarez first bit] PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal in 2010 when he was at Ajax and then Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic at Anfield in April 2013. He was banned for seven games for the Bakkal incident and 10 for the one with Ivanovic... The longest ban in World Cup history was an eight-match one on Italy's Mauro Tassotti for breaking Spain's Luis Enríque's nose in 1994 with an elbow.

Suarez was also banned once for racial slurs against Manchester United's Patrice Evra in 2011.

The man needs professional help, in addition to a long ban.
