This isn’t going to help soccer’s reputation in the U.S.

Although, to be fair, I’ve seen football and basketball players go down with just as little contact, trying to draw the foul. This is from the Nigeria-Greece match on Thursday:

The Nigerian player was red-flagged. I know that means he can’t play in that game anymore (so his team plays one man short). Don’t know if he can play at all the rest of the tournament.

From one angle, it looks like he really nailed the Greek player. From the other angle, you can see he barely touched him.
