All in all, a proper finish for the US. Getting out of their group was a realistic goal, they achieved that. A quaterfinal exit was probably the best they could expect. They fell one game short of that, but were not disgraced.
Both games should be very interesting tomorrow. I don't think England or Germany has what it takes to win this, but they are evenly matched. Argentina needs to keep their momentum they built up in the group stage against a scrappy Mexico.

I agree the proper outcome occurred but the ref allowed the faking. This is the point I have issue with. If the player is deemed to be faking, he should have to sit out for 5 minutes or they should just play around the "injured player". I'm watching the England/Germany game and I don't see the same theatrics. I don't have an issue with soccer usually but I thought yesterday was excessive.
