It was horribly shocking to see a man in his final World Cup appearance, in the World Cup Finals, in OVERTIME, with the GAME ON THE LINE, stoop so low to do something as classless as that. You'd think a guy with as much experience as he has, and everything to play for, would be setting the example for the rest of his team. A shame. I nearly turned if off to watch the golf tournament after that.

The match was pretty boring after the 80th minute or so. If not for that single scoring chance and the, um, incident, overtime was pretty much a waste of time. I still don't understand why overtime is not sudden death, yet penalty shots are if it's still tied after 5 rounds. That's like having sudden death overtime in baseball. I'll never understand this game.
