My issue is the goalie moves into the attacker. Other way around sure but the goalie caused the contact.

The official has totally lost control of this

Ridiculously soft, was never grabbed, didn't stop him from moving, keeper flopped and got rewarded.

There is a reason attackers try to stand right in front or next to the goalies. It is to limit their motion and keep goalies from getting to the ball. They trying getting away with it all the time, but it is a foul and should be called.

But he was face up with the goalie. He saw him coming and chose to wrap him up.

I'd be surprised if a majority of people want the game to be that soft.

Well it is the most popular sport in the world, so I think most people think it’s probably fine.

I don't know what that has to do with anything. I don't think the majority of fans are in favor of flopping, pretty much in any sport, and that was 100% a flop.

Another PK round!

 

[Clonefan32]

Holy ****

 

[Gonzo]

Holy sh*t

 

[jdoggivjc]

That kick was good if it were uprights

 

[Clonefan32]

Went with the sand wedge. Probably the wrong club

 

[Urbandale2013]

German attempts have been awful

 

[JP4CY]

Paraguay!

 

[jdoggivjc]

USMNT sucks... because they won the weakest group... and Paraguay was the worst team in that group...

Paraguay just took out Germany.

Cry more.

 

[Gonzo]

What a finish. Congrats Paraguay.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

When it went to round 6, I didn't think there was any chance Germany was losing this. Then dude goes Konrardy.

I know the soccer purists hate PK shootouts but god damn it’s good theater. What an upset!
